Gentek aluminum products are manufactured with AA3000 series alloy (or equivalent). Both sides of the aluminum are cleaned with a specially formulated cleaner. The cleaned aluminum is then treated with an acid solution containing chrome to enhance corrosion resistance and coating adhesion.
Plastisol (Poly) Topcoat: The topside of the pretreated aluminum is coated with a thermoset polyester polymer which is dried and cured at about 450 ºF., forming a hard but flexible and weatherable coating. Total coating thickness is approximately 18 micrometers.
This highly weatherable, flexible, chemical-resistant thermoplastic polymer is melted and fused on the aluminum metal at temperatures of 390°F. The coating is applied either with a striated pattern or smooth finish having an average film thickness of 3.0 mils.
This thermoplastic polymer has excellent chemical and fade resistance. The coating is applied at 0.9 mil. The system is cured at a minimum temperature of 475°F. This polymer system conforms to the high industry standards of Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000®. The main criteria for these standards is that the paint formulation must contain a minimum of 70% PVDF2. Many fluoropolymer coatings on the market do not meet the high quality and performance standards required by Kynar 500 and Hylar 5000 specifications.
Gentek products are tested for superior adhesion and forming properties. Gentek’s stringent colour specifications allow batch to batch mixing of product. Product testing includes colour, film thickness, gloss, hot water/ impact test, freezer/impact test, salt spray, humidity testing (1000 hours) and outdoor exposure (2 years).
COMPLIANCE: All Gentek soffits comply with CAN/CGSB-93.2-M91. In addition, the aluminum alloys used meet the ULC Standard CAN4-S114-M80, defining the noncombustibility of aluminum alloys.
40 Year Limited Warranty. Warranty is transferable.
Direct contact of aluminum products with certain dissimilar materials, or contact with water runoff from dissimilar materials, is likely to result in corrosion. Accordingly, care should be taken during installation to avoid such contact of aluminum with dissimilar materials, including: dissimilar metals (copper, zinc, steel, etc.), concrete, stucco, asbestos siding, pressure
treated/pretreated lumber, masonry, corrosive non-metallic materials, and roofing materials or roofing systems containing metallic granules or st or other corrosive environments may result in corrosion of the product.
