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;
The pre-treatment process must be capable of meeting the performance outputs as described in AS3715 and AAMA-2604
Steel substrates shall be prepared as follows:
1. Wash and degrease all surfaces to be coated in accordance with AS1627.1 with a free-rinsing, neutral/alkaline detergent, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions and all safety warnings.
2. Wash with fresh potable water and ensure that all soluble salts are removed. Testing if required can be done in accordance with AS 3894.6 for the determination of residual contaminants.
3. Grind all sharp edges with a power tool to a minimum radius of 2mm.
4. Hand or power tool clean welds to AS1627.2 to remove roughness. Remove filings, preferably by vacuum.
5. Abrasive blast clean all steel surfaces to be powder coated in accordance with AS 1627.4 to the visual cleanliness standard of SA 2.5. Use a medium that will generate a surface profile of 35 to 65 microns. In situations where it is not possible to prepare your item on all surfaces as described above, for long term protection against corrosion it is strongly recommended whenever possible, that an alternative substrate such as aluminium be considered. Failure to suitably prepare your steel substrate may void your Steel Shield™ warranty.
6. The steel must be coated within 4 hours of blasting and stored in an area which is clean and dry. Dulux Accredited Powder Coaters must comply with the metal pre-treatment guidelines set out in the Accredited Steel Shield™ Manual.

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 coastal, river and lake salt water environments’ for warranty implications where powder coatings may be in close proximity to liquids.
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 Island, 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:
SNZTS 3404 – Standards NZ Technical Specification – Durability requirements for steel structures & components
AS 2312.1 – Guide to the protection of structural steel against atmospheric corrosion by the use of protective coatings. Part 1: Paint coatings
ISO 9223 – Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
5. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium are determined by the following standard:
ISO 9223 – Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
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.
All Dulux powder product are 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.
