Pre-painted aluminium coil S.Con
A facade that lasts for decades — and throughout that time, the color, surface, and protective properties of the material work for the reputation of the project.
S.Con — aluminium rolled product with a decorative polymer coating applied using liquid roll-coating technology (Coil Coating).
Thanks to this technology: S.Con has consistent coating thickness, adhesion, and color throughout the batch. The coating's elasticity preserves integrity during bending and forming — without cracking or peeling. Material characteristics agreed at the design stage are reproduced precisely in each delivery.
The polymer layer protects aluminium from corrosion, UV radiation, and atmospheric exposure — extending the service life of facades and roofing and reducing maintenance costs over the entire lifecycle of the project.
The face surface of the coil is protected with PVC film 50–100 μm thick — it protects the coating from scratches and mechanical damage throughout the journey from production to finished product: during transport, storage, laser cutting, and bending. The reverse side is additionally protected with technical lacquer 5–7 μm thick.
PVDF — fluoropolymer coating based on polyvinylidene fluoride (minimum 70% PVDF resin, Kynar 500® / Hylar 5000® standard) with acrylic copolymer. Two- or three-layer system with total thickness up to 45 μm.
The C–F bond in the PVDF molecule is one of the most stable in organic chemistry. This is what provides what matters for a facade after 10, 15, and 25 years: color doesn't fade, surface doesn't chalk, coating maintains adhesion under acids, salt spray, and aggressive atmospheric conditions. Compliance with QUALICOAT Class 3 and GSB Premium — confirmed by independent certification, not just a declaration.
Recommended for ventilated facades, roofing, and projects in coastal, industrial, and harsh climatic zones — everywhere the material needs not just appearance, but guaranteed durability.
PE — polyester coating based on thermosetting resin, cured at high temperature. Application thickness — from 25 μm. Provides stable adhesion, flexibility during forming, and impact resistance sufficient for processing and installation.
Optimal where aesthetic appeal takes priority over atmospheric load: interior systems, ceilings, partitions, decoration of public and commercial facilities. Lowest cost in the S.Con range while maintaining full processing convenience.
Due to limited UV and atmospheric resistance, PE application on open facades and roofing is not recommended.
Non-standard formats and coatings — by arrangement with your manager.
Pre-painted coil-coated aluminium rolled product S.Con is used where both architectural expression and structural durability matter: in ventilated facade systems, lightweight roofing systems, and interior solutions with exposed metal.
For architects, this is the ability to work with large surfaces and complex geometry without compromises on surface quality; for developers, it's a way to increase project value through a durable cladding material; and for contractors, it's convenient to install and predictable in behavior — equally reliable on facade, roof, and interior.
What is pre-painted aluminium in coils
Pre-painted aluminium in coils is a thin aluminium sheet on which a polymer coating is applied using roll coating (coil coating) technology. The finished material is wound into coils of various widths and lengths.
Production technology
The coil coating process includes several stages:
-
Cleaning and degreasing of the aluminium strip.
-
Chemical pretreatment (phosphating or chromating) - to improve adhesion.
-
Primer application (on both sides).
-
Finish coating application (polyester, PVDF, etc.) by roll coating method.
-
Polymerization in a high-temperature oven (for coating curing).
This technology ensures uniform coating thickness, high adhesion, and no sag marks. Pre-painted aluminium in coils requires no additional processing before installation — it's ready to use immediately after unwinding.
Why coil is a convenient format
-
Savings on joints. The longer the sheet, the fewer joints. And each joint is a potential leak or corrosion point. Roll coating allows covering roof slopes and facade spans without transverse seams.
-
Easy transportation. Aluminium in coils is compact, easy to load into a vehicle and lift to height.
-
Minimal waste. Sheets of exact size can be cut from a coil — unlike standard-length sheets.
Coating types: how to choose for your project
The durability and appearance of pre-painted aluminium depend on the type of polymer coating. Let's consider the main options.
Polyester (PE)
Classic gloss coating based on polyester resin. Layer thickness - 20–25 μm.

Where pre-painted aluminium in coils is used
Ventilated facades
Pre-painted aluminium in coils is used to manufacture facade cassettes and panels. Sheets are cut from the coil to the required size, profiled, and mounted on a substructure.
Suitable for: office centers, shopping centers, residential buildings, hotels, airports.
Standing seam roofing
The most popular use for roll coating. It is laid out on the slope and connected with standing or flat seams — a locked joint without through holes. Such roofing is absolutely waterproof and doesn't leak for decades.
Suitable for: sloped roofs, domes, arches, canopies.
Decorative elements
Sill flashings, cornices, moldings, downspouts, and awnings are made from roll coating. These details can be painted to match the facade or made contrasting.
Suitable for: any buildings where detailing matters.
Signage and interior finishing
Thanks to its smooth surface and vibrant colors, the material is used for signs, boards, as well as suspended ceilings and panels.
Why buy pre-painted aluminium in coils from a manufacturer
If you decide to buy pre-painted aluminium in coils, working directly with a manufacturer offers several important advantages.

Frequently asked questions
1. How does pre-painted aluminium in coils differ from pre-painted aluminium sheets?
A coil is a long continuous strip wound into a coil. A sheet is a cut piece of a coil of a specific size. For roofing and facades with long slopes, a coil is more convenient — fewer joints and higher waterproofing. For small projects or complex shapes, sheets are more convenient.
2. What color and coating to choose for a high-rise building facade?
For high-rise buildings (over 28 m) PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is recommended - it's maximally resistant to fading and aggressive environments. Color is better selected from light RAL range (white, light gray, beige) - they heat less in sun and keep appearance longer.
3. Can pre-painted aluminium in coils be bent?
Yes, but with caution. Polyester (PE) is the most elastic - suitable for 90° and greater bends. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is less elastic - sharp bends may crack the coating. Bending equipment with adjustable radius should be used.
4. How to calculate needed coil quantity?
First calculate roofing or facade area (length × width). Then divide by coil width (standard - 500–1500 mm). Account for overlap (10–15% for roofing, 5–10% for facades). Divide resulting length by coil length (standard - 20–50 m). For accurate calculation, contact manufacturer's technologists.
5. How to distinguish quality pre-painted aluminium from counterfeits?
Quality coil has uniform coating without sag marks, orange peel, or peeling. Color matches RAL chart. Metal and coating thickness match declared specifications. Manufacturer provides certificates and warranty (from 5 to 15 years). Counterfeits often have uneven color, thin coating (less than 15 μm), and lack documents.
Economical and durable solution for roofing and facades
