Coating that lasts longer, matches and stays clean.

Three things we measure on our own production, each compared with typical market product.
PVD coating

Thicker PVD coating

0.30µm
Typical market coil: 0.21–0.27 µm. Ours is up to 28% thicker.
In plain terms: the coating takes longer to wear through, so the color lasts longer.
See the coating test
Color control

Consistent color

ΔE ≤ 2
Most suppliers give no color tolerance at all. Every coil of ours is held at ΔE 2 or less.
In plain terms: reorder next year or mix batches on one wall, and the panels still match.
See the color data
Anti-fingerprint

Fingerprint-resistant

215solvent rubs
The standard asks for 100 solvent rubs. Typical market anti-fingerprint coating failed at 70; ours lasted 215.
In plain terms: fingerprints wipe off, and the coating holds up to daily cleaning.

Tested to GB/T and ISO standards, with MTR and SGS reports on request.
