METAL PRIMERS
Metal sealers
Primers, or sealers, are products suitable for the preliminary treatment of the metal surface and perform the dual task of effectively protecting the substrate from corrosion and allowing adequate adhesion of the entire painting system.
Two types of primers can be distinguished, waterborne, wuth a recognised low environmental impact and solventborne with a better drying time.
METAL ENAMELS
Metal topcoats
Enamels are pigmented topcoats applied as last coat to provide to coated substrate an optimal aesthetical aspect and protection to corrosion and atmospheric agents.
Enamels are products dedicated to light and heavy carpentry, agricultural and earthmoving machinery and bodywork, suitable for both industrial and handmade applications.
METAL DTM
Metal DTM
Direct To Metal (DTM) term identifies a self sealers families, which combine the adhesion and protection characteristics of the substrate, typical of a primer, with the aesthetics, color and brilliance of a finish enamel. Present on the market since some years, these products have a great success and are now widely used in many sectors, thanks to their versatilty and ease of use.
SPECIAL PRODUCTS
Sport, Urban and more

CERTIFICATIONS
As confirmation of the high technological and quality standard of its coating systems, Polistuc Metal is proud to announce the achievement of new approvals and certifications.
Polistuc Metal boasts homologation certificates for its painting systems, according to UNI EN ISO 12944: 2018
The standard takes two factors into account when protecting steel from corrosion:
Environmental corrosivity: the standard classifies environments into different categories which are then evaluated on the basis of their ability to corrode unprotected steel: The categories are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and each is then divided into a classification that goes from very low to very high. A new category has also been added, CX (Extreme) for offshore and industrial environments with high humidity.
Coating durability: The standard provides guidance on the expected life of a coating until its first significant major maintenance. Also in this factor a classification is applied: L (up to 7 years), M (up to 15 years), H (up to 25 years), VH (over 25 years).
