PPA 571

PPA 571 out performs all other coatings, particularly in areas where:

1. temperatures fall below -5°C
2. there is high sunlight exposure
3. there is risk of sand, salt or sea abrasion
4. it is damp or wet most of the time
5. there is a risk of graffiti - graffiti can be easily wiped off
6. there is a need to electrostatically spray coat in hot weather
7. there is a chance of fungal or lichen growth

PPA 571 should be used in preference to PVC coatings where there are particular health and environment pollution concerns. For example:

1. use in national parks, water catchment areas, play areas, hospitals and schools
2. aquatically sensitive areas
3. when in contact with drinking water and food
4. when a 'warm to the touch' feel is specified
5. where there is a requirement for high electrical resistance
6. application of powder in poorly ventilated areas
7. enclosed areas where, upon a fire, low levels of smoke and toxicity are required
8. where a primer coat is not possible or desired

PPA 571 is available in the following grades:

1. electrostatic spray powder
2. fluidised bed (dip) powder
3. flock spray powder
4. extrusion powder
5. flame spray (either dip or electrostatic powder can be used)

PPA 571 is available in the following RAL colours:

1015, 1021, 5017, 7035, 7046, 3009, 9005, 9006, 3020, 6005, 5015, 7001, 7016, 6022 and 9016
