FolaSal®- - certified and monitored coating systems for applications in the construction sector

Special quality requirements apply to construction products in Germany, which are defined by national construction legislation. To a certain extent, this also applies to precursors and starting materials for construction applications. For example, our coil-coated products (FolaSal^® ), which are intended for further processing into load-bearing thin-walled profiles such as trapezoidal profiles or sandwich elements, must be proven to exhibit certain corrosion protection properties. This proof can be achieved either by an approval issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt) or by certification in accordance with DIN 55634-1. In both cases, a classification of the coating systems into a corrosivity category is made based on extensive laboratory tests and, in some cases, outdoor weathering results.

In building interiors with low corrosion exposure, coating systems of corrosivity category C2 usually find use, while for exterior building applications in atmospheres with moderate corrosion exposure, systems of corrosivity category C3 are generally applied.
