The latest generation polymer technology of paint system

COLORBOND® steel uses the latest generation polymer technology of paint system that increases colour fading resistance, chalking resistance and gloss retention. As such, the COLORBOND® colour fading warranty period is increased by up to 12 years*.

* Warranty terms and conditions apply.

TECHNOLOGY

Less heat, more comfort

BlueScope’s Thermatech® solar reflectance technology lowers the surface temperature of metals by absorbing less heat from the sun. With Thermatech® Technology, COLORBOND® steel delivers exceptional thermal performance, thus providing superior comfort all year round while reducing the dependence on energy-consuming air-conditioning to overcome the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.
Green building rating tools such as the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) encourages use of materials with high SRI values to mitigate the UHI effect. COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® is able to provide higher SRI value thus complying to the green building requirements.

* Solar reflectance index (SRI) is a numerical value used to represent a constructed surface’s ability to reflect solar heat. A higher SRI value indicates a roof whose surface temperature is lower due to the higher solar reflectance.

BENEFIT AT A GLANCE

  • Thermatech® solar reflectance technology acts as added insulation in hot weather, making it easier for air-conditioning to keep buildings cool.
  • Reduce annual cooling energy consumption by up to 15%*.
  • Lower peak roof temperature by up to 6°C*.
  • Greater comfort while using less energy, which helps to reduce cost and is friendlier to the environment.

    • * Depending on level of insulation, colour, building shape and function.

COLORBOND® steel with Clean technology prevents dirt from bonding to the surfaces. As a result, dirt particles remain "loose" and wash away during rainfall, resulting in a cleaner look. BlueScope offers up to 5 years warranty* against dirt staining.

* Warranty terms and conditions apply. The application of protective film (PE plastic, etc.) on COLORBOND® with Clean technology is not recommended as the Clean layer could be damaged. If applied, the dirt staining warranty is void.
