COLORCOAT PRISMA®: PERFECT FOR AESTHETIC BUILDINGS THAT ARE BUILT TO LAST
Colorcoat Prisma® by Tata Steel is a high-performance pre-finished steel product, used in building envelope applications due to its durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic finish. Used for roof & wall profiles and composite panels, Colorcoat Prisma® is one of the most popular in terms of architectural beauty while also being built to last.
It utilises a three layer manufacturing technology to create an optimised, robust, chrome-free pre-finished steel product that offers enhanced aesthetics, long-term performance and durability. Additionally, the use of the advanced Galvalloy® metallic coating ensures outstanding corrosion resistance and cut edge protection.
Colorcoat Prisma® come in 0.5mm - 0.7mm gauge.
Colorcoat Prisma® Colour Availability
The three-layer coating system consists of primer, coloured layer with polyamide beads, and protective clear coat layer. Colorcoat Prisma® offers a wide, visually rich colour palette: Solid, Metallic, Matt and Matt‑metallic finishes. It also offers textured finish and is especially well-suited for architectural facades (see separate properties for this). Some special metallic colours are exclusive to the Colorcoat Prisma® range, including Ephyra, Atlantis and Zeus, among others.
Tata Steel’s testing regimes have allowed Colorcoat Prisma® to be available in a wide range of colours and effects, along with their Confidex® Guarantee for up to 40 years for industrial and commercial buildings, and colour stability for the standard 29 colours on the colour card for up to 20 years.
