Qualicoat 3.0 is an enhanced quality scheme for powder coated aluminium.
This paper provides some background to Qualicoat 3.0 and describes the testing that the standard requires.
It also highlights some of the implications of the Qualicoat 3.0 specification. These are particularly relevant to recycled aluminium with a high proportion of post-consumer content.
Specifiers should be aware of these implications, and they should be considered and discussed with relevant parties at the project outset.
This paper is based on our current understanding and further guidance will be issued as the situation becomes clearer.
We are keen for feedback on this. If anyone has any experience of Qualicoat 3.0, please get in touch.
