of in-fill construction using the bead clipping principle. Wall thickness of profile
designed to suit particular application. Aluminum framed insect screens
(single or double), quality system hardware: hinges, handles, locks, flush bolt
and many other hardware such as panic devices and door closers (surface
and floor mounted) are all available to suit specific design.
Corner joints are individually designed and are constructed by welding; screw
fixings within profile screw ports or generally mechanically jointed using cast
or extruded aluminum cleats secured by mechanical jointed using cast or

The factory consists of Two Spray booth (Automatic Booth consisting of six spray guns, three
guns on each side and a manual booth with two spray guns. Moreover, these booths are
computerized to control the thickness of powder coated over Aluminum or steel surfaces.

CURING OVEN:
Curing Oven consists of two parts(OVENS). First oven is called Infra Red Oven which is
designed to achieve better curing and to speed up the curing process, it is directly connected
to maintain oven which cures the material, to sufficient time for full curing. The oven runs at a
temperature of 225C far about 11 12 minutes. (Oven Length: 20 meters and 4 meters
height)

OFF LOADING AND PACKING AREA:

Materials are loaded by special cranes and then packed by wrapping paper and then wrapped up
by special protective packing plastic, and packed in pallets strapped by steel finally loaded by
fork-lift on our truck for delivery.

Degrease to remove light oils and atmospheric contaminants.

Rinse to remove excesses chemicals and entrapped contaminants.
Each in strong alkaline solution to produce surface for mechanical bonding of coating.
Rinse to remove excesses chemicals and entrapped particles.
Acid chemical demits to dissolve impurities in etched surface such as iron and copper which can
result in galvanic corrosion.
Rinse to remove excess chemical and entrapped contaminants.
Dip in Acidic Zinc chromate solution to give chrome conversion of surface giving a correction
resistant layer which will act as a catalyst for the chemical bonding of the ensuring powder
coating.
Rinse to remove excess chemicals.
Rinse to give a chemical free surface.
Rinse in Hot de-ionized water to remove all traces of cations and anions giving an electrically
neutral surface.
Dry in Hot Air circulating oven to remove all traces of moistures.
Electro Statically apply architectural polyester powder coating at a finished thickness of
minimum 50 microns.
Stove the powder at a minimum of 180C for 20 minutes of 200C for 15 minutes .

POWDER COATING:
During the process, a series of BS Q-panels are coated with the material which are subject to
destructive testing for assessment of the finished product.
A quality control sheet is prepared during the process which will include test results of the
chemical analysis of the pre-treatment tanks and a heat distribution curve of the curing oven to
ensure that the recommended time/temperature period for curing has been observed.
The coated profiles will be examined visually for defects such as pin holes or blisters and a series
of coating thickness readings will be taken to ensure the BS standard recommendations have
been achieved.
A.

GLOSS TEST:

This is a true indication of correct curing the panel must show the gloss level of the powder
used, ie., MATT SATIN OR HIGH GLOSS AS SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
B.

BENT TEST:

The panel is mechanically bent round a conical mandrill varying from 3 mm diameter to 30 mm
diameter.
Inspection of the bent panel must reveal no cracking or disbanding on either side or outside of
the bend.
C.

CROSS HATCH TEST:

The coating on the panel is cut using a rotary knife with blades at 2mm centers in one direction
and then re-cut at right angles to the original cuts and across them.
After removing the dust from the cut area, adhesive tape is firmly pressed over the cuts and then
quickly torn off.
The result should reveal no detachment of any lattices formed by the cross cuts.
D.

IMPACT TEST:

The panel is attached over a die and a weighted 20mm diameter ball is dropped from a fixed
height on to the panel. The subsequent deformation must show no cracking or detachment of
the coating either on the convex or concave surfaces.
E.
SCRATCH RESISTANCE:
A weighted needle of fixed diameter is pulled mechanically over the coated panel; the weight is
gradually increased until the needle penetrates the coating to the substrate. The result weight
must meet the manufacturers recommendations for the type of powder used.

POWDER COATING:

The coated area is given 50 wipes with cotton wool soaked in M.EK. Inspection after completion
should show no removal of the pigment to the cotton wool.
All results are recorded together with the coating and chemical test results to give a complete
quality control certificate.
The test panels are then labeled with relevant information of coating date, powder batch no., oven
temperature and time.

These with a further untested panels are available for the customers inspection at our laboratory.
