polyester paint

Polyester paint is a cost-effective and widely accepted material coating for agricultural purposes. However, it usually requires maintenance and recoating every ten to fifteen years. When handling polyester painted steel, it is important to be careful as the paint coating can be scratched very easily. As such it is always good practice to purchase touch up paint to cover any minor scratches incurred during handling and fitting. If you require a more durable coating we would recommend using PCV Plastisol coated steel. Notes: Galvanised substrate to BS EN 10346:2009 and primed undercoat offering excellent corrosion resistance
