Powder Coating Care and Maintenance
Warning re use of solvents:
- In some cases strong solvents are recommended for thinning various types of paints and also for cleaning up mastics and sealants.
- These can be harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface, and must not be used for cleaning purposes.
- It is important to note that the damage will not be visible immediately and may take up to l2 months to develop.
If paint splashes or sealants and mastics need to be removed then the following may be safely used:
Methylated Spirits, Ethyl Alcohol, lsopropanol or preferably a mild detergent in warm water.
Joinery Protection during Installation:
All the activity on a construction site means that your powder coated items
may get knocked or scratched, splattered with mortar,
plaster, textured coating or paint during the later stages of construction.
Please ensure that all powder coated articles are masked or covered at this time.
It is far easier to prevent accidents than to try and correct them.
Should your joinery receive mortar or paint splashes see that these are removed
before cure and follow the instructions contained in this brochure.

External - Maintenance Program:
To extend the life of external powder coated articles and to comply with warranty
requirements for powder coated aluminium joinery, a simple, regular
maintenance program must be implemented.
The effects of ultra violet light, atmospheric pollution, dirt, grime and
airborne salt deposits will all accumulate over time and must be removed
or surface staining and weathering will occur, leading to an unsightly appearance.
For external coatings, cleaning should take place every six months. ln areas
where pollutants are more prevalent, such as beachfront houses and
industrial or geothermal areas, then a cleaning program should be carried
out on a more frequent basis ie. every one to three months.
Cleaning your powder coating
:
1. Carefully remove any loose surface deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) and a mild household detergent (do
not use solvents) in warm water, remove dust, salt and other deposits.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water.
