PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Vitranamel is a prefabricated steel cassette panel system featuring a vitreous enamel finish which is applied using a special static powder enamelling process including baking at 800 degrees. This produces a virtually indestructible finish and is one of the most durable exterior coatings in the world; meaning that it is highly resistant to graffiti, abrasion and impact damage.

Vitranamel comprises a steel skin that is prefabricated into a cassette panel and can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes (including curves in certain applications) and finished in a wide range of colours. This enables extremely flexible design possibilities along with the added benefit of low maintenance and excellent durability.

KEY BENEFITS

PAINT SYSTEM NON-COMBUSTIBLE Vitranamel uses an enamel coating which exhibits high durability, Vitranamel is a non-combustible steel cladding system, withstanding providing the optimum resistance to weather and industrial temperatures of over 400°C and compliant with C1.12 of the BCA. automation. HIGH DURABILITY Vitranamel panels are extremely durable. The vitreous enamel WEATHERPROOFED coating has excellent scratch, graffiti and impact resistance making Vitranamel is weatherproofed to BCA clause FP1.4. it ideal for areas of heavy traffic or extreme wear.

INFRASTRUCTURE UV STABLE Being non-combustible and virtually indestructible makes Vitranamel has a far superior colour consistency over time when Vitranamel one of the most durable cladding products available compared to typical cladding panels. The colour and gloss level for infrastructure projects. of these panels are unaffected by sunlight. VERSATILE HYGIENIC Vitranamel can be custom designed into a wide range of shapes Vitranamel has a completely non-porous surface that does and dimensions as well as able to be perforated or curved in some not absorb any bacteria. The non-stick surface allows intense applications making it a versatile design choice. cleaning with hospital grade cleaning agents.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The outstanding toughness and colourfastness of Vitranamel as well as its exceptional sound absorption qualities lends itself to being one of the most durable cladding materials in the market and extremely popular for use on infrastructure projects such as tunnel linings and airports. Other key benefits of using Vitranamel for infrastructure projects:

• Deemed non-combustible. • Impervious to UV rays and extreme weather conditions – Vitranamel is not affected appearance or performance wise. • The Vitranamel steel is unusually hard and has a high lubricity: meaning that it is anti-scratch and impact resistant – ideal for high impact pedestrian areas. • Vitranamel has a high resistance to most acids and alkali’s. It is also resistant to sea spray; making it perfect for coastal

WWW.VALCAN.CO.UK and marine situations. 01 • Vitranamel is also graffiti resistant – the impervious nature of the panel enables the complete removal of paint or STANDARD COLOURS

FIRE RESISTANCE

In today’s Architecture, it is the technical details, as well as the appearance that count; such as sustainability, thermal insulation, and fire protection. With Vitranamel you have a product that is deemed non-combustible to the requirements of AS1530.1 and Section C1.12 of the BCA.

Vitranamel is highly resistant to heat and can withstand temperatures of above 500°C for prolonged periods with no damage to the coating and no toxic fumes being emitted when exposed to fire. Vitreous enameled steel will withstand rapid cooling by water spray from +400°C to normal room temperatures over a 30 second period.

The Fire Resistance standards achieved with standard Vitranamel are as follows: VITRANAMEL TEST STANDARD RESULT AS 1530.1 DEEMED NON-COMBUSTIBLE AS 1530.3 Fire Propagation 0 Spread of Flame 0 Smoke Development 0-1
