Alesta® AP MarResistant

Alesta® AP MarResistant Powder Coatings are especially formulated to improve the mar resistance of smooth dark glossy finishes. The significantly improved surface hardness of these new formulations has a direct impact on the lifetime of the painted object.
This makes the manipulation of powder coated parts a lot easier for the painter: handling, storage, packaging, use and assembly.
