Perspectra Series

Perspectra Series ™ is a new, state-of-the-art silicone modified polyester (SMP) paint system that has replaced the 8,000 series paint system. The Perspectra Series is applied over either hot dipped galvanized or 45% zinc coated steel to meet a broad range of interior or exterior applications. The system utilizes a stringent pre-treatment process that, combined with an upgraded primer, will provide 40 years of film integrity and 30 years of fade and chalk values.

Colour Matching

Colour can vary slightly between paint batches and production runs. As well, different paint systems will weather differently over extended periods of time. To improve colour matching and minimize the risk of varying colours on a building, we recommend:
1. Order enough material of each colour from one supplier to complete the project
2. Cross reference previous orders if additional material is required for a project
3. If replacing damaged sheets, try to use other existing sheets in the repair area and install new sheets all in one elevation.

Comparison of Paint Systems

10000 Series

The 10000 Series is a 2-coat system based on the Kynar 500 resin system. 10000 Series colours are used primarily on more prestigious applications and thus they are typically used less frequently than Perspectra Series colours. This system has superior colour retention and formability properties but, because it requires 2 passes through the paint line, 10000 Series colours are more expensive than the Perspectra Series.

Metallic / Elite Series

The Metallic / Elite series is a 4-coat system that can provide unique and brighter colours for use in more prestigious applications. These systems provide excellent weathering and protective properties. Due to the extra paint passes, these systems are more expensive than the Perspectra and 10000 Series and will require longer lead times.

Barrier Series

Barrier Series comprises a factory applied primer and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) topcoat. The PVC coating can be applied to both sides of the sheet in thicknesses of 100mm, 200mm or 300mm. Typically Barrier Series coated steel is used in more aggressive industrial applications where the environments are harsher than typical industrial locations.
