POP is only suitable for coastal environments >10m from the high tide 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.
*Only Dulux Accredited Powder Coaters are able to issue our Dulux Alumi Shield™ warranties after demonstrating their capability to meet stringent quality conditions and international standards.

The pre-treatment process must be capable of meeting the performance outputs as described in AS3715 and AAMA-2604
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.
If your site uses a dry off oven to assist in the pre-treatment process please ensure:

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 POP 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. POP is only suitable for environments >10m from the high tide line. 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 ‘Interior & 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 POP in the following environments:
a. Interior: General Interior conditions (E-Prime base coat not mandatory); Moderate Interior (E-Prime base coat not mandatory).
b. Exterior: Mild (E-Prime base coat not mandatory); Severe: (E-Prime base coat not mandatory).

Use the following table which references AS2312.1, AS 4312 and ISO 9223 to identify the environment, conditions and atmospheric corrosivity categories
To pinpoint your projects corrosivity zone this table should be used together with the corrosivity zone maps contained within AS 4312.
1. Geothermal environments greater than 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source with a pH between 5 and 9. For pH outside this consult Dulux.
2. Geothermal hot spots within 500m of a bore, mud pool, steam vent, or other source.
3. All offshore islands including Waiheke Island, Stewart Island, Fraser Island and Pacific islands eg PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Noumea
4. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium and Carbon (Mild) Steel are determined by the following standards:
● AS 4312 – Atmospheric corrosivity zones in Australia.
● AS 2312.1- Guide to the protection of structural steel against atmospheric corrosion by the use of protective coatings. Part 1: Paint coatings
● ISO 9223 – Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
5. The corrosion rates for the first year of exposure for the different corrosivity categories of Aluminium are determined by the following standard:
● ISO 9223- Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation
Please refer to the guidance below for:
1Please note chemically treated water includes antimicrobial treatments, e.g. in pools, anti-corrosive chemicals, and soapy water in bathrooms and showers.
■ Where indicated Alumi Shield™ warranties are available on areas >than 1m from the liquid (ie outside the splash zone).
● Where indicated Alumi Shield™ warranties are available any distance from the liquid.
Alumi Shield warranties are only available when applied by a Dulux Accredited Powder Coater to the warranty specification on recommended project types and conditions.
All Dulux powder products are NOT suitable in strongly acidic or caustic environments so the pH must be between 5 and 9.
Alumi Shield™ warranties are not available if the powder coating is immersed in any liquid.
Our dedicated consultants can help simplify the specification process, saving you time and money by providing the right coating advice for your project.
