THE LEADING EDGE OF ECO-FRIENDLY Manufacturers of the most advanced green building materials and renewable energy products rely on coil coating technology. Much of the technology used for these advanced earth-friendly products would not be possible without the efficiency and precise layering capabilities of coil coating. Plus, even everyday end products are made more environmentally friendly when using highly efficient coil coating processes to apply their coatings. Coil Coating Has A Bright Future: For solar panels, coil coating is used to apply selective absorber coatings to aluminum strip for these thermal energy applications. The Winds of Change: Thousands of wind energy plants across the globe use wind turbines that are coated with coil coating technology. Chill Out…With Coil Coating: Coil coated metal roofing helps homes and buildings use up to 40% less energy for cooling. "Cool" metal roofs also look cool, with designs that look like patina, wood shingles, and more. We Eat Pollutants For Lunch: Believe it or not, there now are smog-eating building panels! The coil coating process is used to apply high-tech coatings to these building panels, enabling them to continually clean themselves and the surrounding air. Reflect On This: Pearlescent pigments with infrared-reflective coatings technology are applied to building panels with the coil coating process, improving energy efficiency. THE MOST EARTH-FRIENDLY WAY TO APPLY COATINGS TO METAL The coil coating process itself is considered the most environmentally responsible way to apply paint to steel and aluminum substrate. It’s the most eco-friendly coating process on Earth! Here’s why: 98% VOC Capture: Coil coating is a highly efficient ‘closed loop’ process, meaning that the coating curing ovens burn the harmful VOCs, using them as fuel, saving energy and eliminating pollutants. Coil coating achieves at least a 98% rate for capture and destruction efficiency, eliminating toxic air pollutants that would otherwise be released into the air. Centralized Operations: By centralizing paint operations by moving them from inefficient in-house paint shops to high-tech coil coating lines, environmental issues are concentrated, controlled, and even eliminated. Exceeds EPA Standards: The coil coating industry is subject to the highest EPA standards and consistently exceeds these standards even as they become more stringent year after year. Recyclable & Recycled: The end products are green, too. Coil coated metal is fully recyclable, and coil coated products are often made of recycled content.
