U-SIL
Heat-cured coatings
U-SIL products are heat-cured coatings for aluminium, magnesium, stainless steel or titanium in industrial applications.
Aluminium decorative trimming with U-SIL coating in various colors.
The most common area of application for U-SIL products is in heat and cooling technology. The automobile industry relies on the services of the technology for heat exchangers, trims, roof rails and turbocharger housings.
U-SIL coatings are available in colourless, coloured transparent and opaque pigment versions.
Our U-SIL coatings are available as follows:
