Supra HD
System Overview
Supra HD coil coating system manufactured and distributed globally by Continental Coatings Inc. and Yung Chi Paint and Varnish Manufacturing Company Ltd., is a High Durability Polyester (HD) coil coating system engineered for interior and exterior applications that require long lasting performance and excellent economics. Supra HD system can be applied single coat or as a two coat system depending on end use requirements and application specifics. Supra HD system is formulated with a proprietary polyester resin polymer, which is economical, U.V. and weather resistant, and has primer like adhesion performance and a tough scratch resistant surface. Supra HD may be applied singlecoat or over the Universal PU-11 High Molecular Weight Urethane Primer or PU-30 High-build Urethane primer systems for extreme environment and long service life product applications.
Application Parameters
Supra HD system is designed for trouble free high line speed coil coating line application and has been run worldwide under a very wide range of application parameters and substrate conditions. Standard topcoat DFT is .60-.70 mils, however, custom low film and low temperature cure systems are available. Supra HD was formulated to provide improved overall performance over regular polyester systems and very good stain, scratch, mar and scuff resistance, and is flexible enough for most tough fabrication applications.
Commercial Uses
Supra HD system can be formulated in standard, medium, textured, and low gloss / low sheen finishes and supplied in a very wide range of colors and effects. This economic coating is warranted for exterior use and can be applied to a variety of adequately cleaned and treated metal substrates including: Hot Dipped Galvanized, ZnAl, Galfan®, ZAM®, Aluminum, and Stainless Steels. Supra HD is formulated with an excellent balance of flexibility and hardness but can be custom modified for specific applications that require above average physical property performance. Supra HD system is ideal for many residential building product polyester applications when improved performance is required. Typical end uses include: high performance rainwear, valleys, soffit, door product accessories, high-end door products, and light gauge agricultural sheeting and transportation products.
