*Only Dulux Accredited Powder Coaters are able to issue our Dulux Alumi Shield™ and Steel Shield™ warranties after demonstrating their capability to meet stringent quality conditions and international standards.
**The product is designed to reduce the visible mar and scuffing that can happen during transportation, fabrication, onsite during construction and service life when compared to smooth powder coat finishes.
Developed primarily for use on extruded aluminium, including window and door joinery, and extruded aluminium panel work on class 1 & 10 residential buildings and on class 2-9 commercial buildings under the Australian Building Code and class.

The pre-treatment process must be capable of meeting the performance outputs as described in AS3715 and AAMA-2604
Compliance to appropriate process parameters is essential in ensuring compliance to etch, conversion coating weights (time/concentration) and conductivity of the final rinse.
The etch process is a very important stage of pre-treatment and close consultation with your pre-treatment supplier is strongly recommended to ensure optimum adhesion & corrosion resistance is obtained.
This is the next pre-treatment process for aluminium to ensure that it is suitably prepared for coating.
Final rinse is to ensure optimum surface preparation prior to coating.
Care should be taken with handling to ensure health and safety measures are met and that the substrate is not contaminated.
If your site uses a dry off oven to assist in the pre-treatment process, consult your pre-treatment supplier for advice, but generally;
Steel substrates shall be prepared as follows:
Electrostatic Spray
Flat Products
Metal Temperature:
210°C: 8 minutes minimum
200°C: 10 minutes minimum
180°C: 15 minutes minimum

All Dulux powder products are NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so the pH must be between 5 and 9.
1. Duratec is only suitable for coastal environments >10m from the high tide.
* In Mild (Medium) exterior environments and Moderate (Medium) interior environments, a 10 year corrosion warranty is available with a Zincshield, Grey Primer/E-Prime and the indicated top coat system. Without Grey Primer/E-Prime a 5 Year corrosion warranty is available.
♦ Duratec Intensity – Steel Colour Warranty 15 Years.
Please refer to ‘Interior and exterior environments close to liquids other than the sea’ for warranty implications where powder coatings may be in close proximity to liquids other than the sea.
Use the following table which references AS 2312.1, SNZ TS 3404 and ISO 9223 to identify the environment, conditions and atmospheric corrosivity categories. To pinpoint your projects corrosivity zone this table should be used together with the Dulux Macroclimate Corrosivity Zone Maps of New Zealand Guide, available here, or Dulux SpecMap tool available here.
1. Geothermal environments greater than 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source with a pH between 5 and 9. For pH outside this consult Dulux.
2. Geothermal hot spots within 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source.
3. All offshore islands including Waiheke, Stewart Island, Fraser Island and Pacific islands eg PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Noumea
4. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium and Carbon (Mild) Steel are determined by the following standards:
5. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium are determined by the following standard:
1. Please note chemically treated water includes antimicrobial treatments, e.g. in pools, anti-corrosive chemicals, and soapy water in bathrooms and showers.
■ Where indicated Alumi Shield and Steel Shield warranties are available on areas >than 1m from the liquid.
● Where indicated Alumi Shield and Steel Shield warranties are available any distance from the liquid.
Alumi Shield warranties are only available when applied by a Dulux Accredited Powder Coater to the warranty specification on recommended project types and conditions.
Duratec is NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so the pH must be between 5 and 9.
Alumi Shield warranties are not available if the powder coating is immersed in any liquid.
Our dedicated consultants can help simplify the specification process, saving you time and money by providing the right coating advice for your project.
