Fluoroset may be suitable in locations <10m from the high tide line e.g. harbours (contact Dulux for advice) and is NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so PH must be >5 and <9.
Please refer to the ‘Interior and exterior environments close to liquids other than the sea’ section for warranty implications for in such environments.
Fluoroset® has been developed for use in situations where class leading colour retention is desired.

The pre-treatment process must be capable of meeting the performance outputs as described in AS3715 and AAMA-2605
Compliance to appropriate process parameters is essential in ensuring compliance to etch, conversion coating weights (time/concentration) and conductivity of the final rinse.
The etch process is a very important stage of pre-treatment and close consultation with your pre-treatment supplier is strongly recommended to ensure optimum adhesion & corrosion resistance is obtained. As an approximate guide:
This is the next pre-treatment process for aluminium to ensure that it is suitably prepared for coating. It is recommended that Chrome conversion weights shall be a minimum of 431mg/m2, but advice from pre-treatment suppliers should be taken into consideration.
Final rinse is to ensure optimum surface preparation prior to coating.
Care should be taken with handling to ensure health and safety measures are met and that the substrate is not contaminated.
Dry Off Oven (if applicable)
If your site uses a dry off oven to assist in the pre-treatment process please ensure:
Steel substrates shall be prepared as follows:
1. Wash and degrease all surfaces to be coated in accordance with AS1627.1 with a free-rinsing, alkaline detergent, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions and all safety warnings.
2. Wash with fresh potable water and ensure that all soluble salts are removed in accordance with AS 3894.6 methods A&D.
3. Grind all sharp edges with a power tool to a minimum radius of 2mm.
4. Power tool clean welds to AS1627.2 Class 2 to remove roughness. Remove filings, preferably by vacuum or compressed air.
5. Abrasive blast clean all steel surfaces to be painted in accordance with AS1627.4 to visual standard AS1627.9 Class 2.5 (equivalent to ISO8501-1, Sa 2.5: Very Thorough Blast-Cleaning). Use a medium that will generate a surface profile of 35 to 65 microns (as tested to AS3894.5 Method A.) In situations where it is not possible to prepare your item on all surfaces as described above, for long term protection against corrosion it is strongly recommended whenever possible, that an alternative substrate such as, aluminium be considered.
6. The steel to be stored in an area which is clean and dry
7. The steel must be coated within 4 hours of blasting.

The table references AS2312.1, AS 4312 and ISO 9223 to identify the environment, conditions and atmospheric corrosivity categories.
Use the following table to help identify where Fluoroset can be applied on aluminium projects, the system required and the Dulux Alumi Shield™ warranty level available. Refer to the conditions information to determine the environment that your project will be exposed to.
● Alumi Shield™ warranty available
1. Fluoroset may be suitable in locations <10m from the high tide line e.g. harbours (contact Dulux for advice)
All Dulux powder products are NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so the pH must be between 5 and 9.
Please refer to the ‘Interior and exterior environments close to liquids other than coastal, river and lake salt water environments’ for warranty implications where powder coatings may be in close proximity to liquids.
Information for Perforated and Expanded aluminium:
Alumi Shield™ warranties on perforated and expanded aluminium are available for Fluoroset in the following environments:
a. Interior: General Interior conditions (E-Prime base coat not mandatory); Moderate Interior (E-Prime base coat mandatory).
b. Exterior: Mild (E-Prime base coat not mandatory); Severe: (E-Prime basecoat mandatory).
