OCM's developed K5: Rustic Metal Finishes to provide an innovative, painted solution to the problems commonly associated with natural, weathering sheet metal. K5 offers a full range of PVDF paint options that replicate the appearance of naturally weathering metals, such as steel, copper, and zinc. While rusted metal has become widely used in architecture, it comes with many dangers and risks. Rusting metals can corrode, leading to leaks. K5's PVDF coating provides lasting protection to the aluminum or steel substrate. Natural rust can drip from roofs and run down walls, staining the surrounding materials and sidewalks. With K5 there is no rust, so there is no staining.
The K5: Rustic Metal Finishes coating system is specifically designed for roofing and construction applications and has excellent U.V. color stability along with super resistance to chalk and fade. The unique K5: Rustic Metal Finishes also provide excellent coating “top hardness” which significantly improves scratch and scuff resistance and greatly reduces damage during transit and installation. K5: Rustic Metal Finishes have outstanding chemical resistance and are long lasting products that perform well in severe environments. An advantage of K5: Rustic Metal Finishes, when compared to installing weathering steel, is that there is no rust runoff or staining to the surrounding materials on and around the building, including driveways and sidewalks. Substrate corrosion and failure can also be avoided by using K5: Rustic Metal Finishes.
K5: Rustic Metal Finishes are ideal for a wide variety of commercial and residential applications including roofing, building panel, fencing, tubing, and decking. With over 20 unique styles, K5: Rustic Metal Finishes can satisfy a wide range of visual requirements. All of the K5: Rustic Metal Finishes can also be formulated with “Cool Roof” pigmentation to meet Energy Star ® Cool Roof application requirements for IR (inferred reflective) building envelope products, adding to the building’s energy efficiency.
