Novelis surface innovation Novelis - the european leader in aluminium coil coating attaches great importance to developing new and improved aluminium surfaces. Novelis has a dedicated development and innovation centre capable of carrying out all kinds of test methods ranging from formability and adhesion through weathering and scratch resistance to bondability etc. A completely new advance as springboard for a highly future-oriented coating generation is the new Novelis NWS coating system. Novelis NWS NWS is a new lacquer development. NWS widens the spectrum with an absolute matte (03/05...

NWS is corrosion-resistant. After 500 h of salt spray testing, no lacquer infiltration or blisters could be found. NWS is perfectly weather-resitant. No chalking after 2000 h of accelerated weathering test with UV-B radiation. So longlasting design is an outstanding performance of the NWS lacquer family.

NWS – Satina Plain Features The structured, matt surface makes the plain uni-coats especially vibrant. This must be taken into account when choosing colours. Colours All conventional colours are possible Degree of gloss 03 – 05 units Layer structure Special characteristics Two-layer system Protective foil Very good formability Very good weather resistance M etallic systems are possible and are to be processed according to the batch G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects Special protective foil on request. As the lacquer system has a durable surface the protective foil can...

NWS – Satina Pastel Features These pastel colours provide the surface with an especially satiny appearance. This is underscored by the surface haptics. All conventional colours can be produced. Combinations are possible by adding effect pigments Degree of gloss Because of the addition of effect pigments to the lacquer, colour changes depending on the viewing angle and the incidence of light can be achieved (flip-flop effect). This gives the surface a metallic-textile appearance. Special characteristics • S pecial coatings with effect pigments should be laid according to the batch 02 – 10...

NWS – Wood Optic Features The wood optics are printed surfaces. The combination of printing and a tangible effect gives the impression of a natural product. All conventional colours can be produced. Special lacquer effects are possible on request By using particular effect pigments, it is also possible to achieve special effects. Ranges from 03 units, depending on the design. Layer structure Special characteristics Multi-layer structure Protective foil G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects M etallic surfaces are to be processed according to the batch Special protective foil on...

NWS – Frost Optic Features The combination of the print and lacquer system creates the impression of a special frost structure. The integration of special effect pigments is possible. Colours In addition to white and silver, all conventional colours are possible. The use of effect pigments requires special co-ordination Degree of gloss 03 – 05 units Special characteristics • • G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects M etallic and effect pigments must be processed according to the batch Layer structure Multi-layer structure Protective foil Special protective foil on request. As...

NWS – Stone Optic Features The rough surface of the lacquer system gives the impression of a natural product. The surface printing increases the stone haptics. Colours Various colour schemes can be combined with different surface textures Degree of gloss 03 – 05 units Special characteristics • • • • G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects S ome surfaces can also be supplied in other lacquer systems (e.g. PVdF) Different colour schemes are possible S urfaces are to be processed according to the batch Layer structure Multi-layer structure Protective foil Special protective foil on...

PVdF – Stone Optic Features The PVdF lacquer system is well-known and has proven to be successful due to its excellent weather resistance. Combination of print and lacquer system enables creative stone designs. Colours Almost all conventional colours can be produced. In the case of prints, colour and design co-ordination may be necessary in particular cases Degree of gloss Special characteristics 20, 40 or 80 units are possible with fluoropolymer clear lacquer Layer structure G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects F or surface-stressed applications, special precautionary...

NWS – Metal Optic Features Different metal surfaces are available: Weathered or Antique Copper, Corten (imitation of a rusted steel surface) or Stainless Steel Design. Colours Various colour schemes can be combined with different surface textures Degree of gloss 03 – 05 units T he surfaces have a stable design and do not change T he surfaces are structured and have a textile touch T he system is weather resistant and scratch-resistant Special characteristics • • Layer structure Multi-layer structure Protective foil Special protective foil on request. As the lacquer system has a durable...

PVdF – Metal Optic Features Different metal surfaces are available, partly with a weathered appearance: zinc, copper and patina. The produced surfaces remain stable in design and colour and do not change. All systems are weather resistant because of PVdF lacquer quality. Special characteristics • • Colours See illustrations Degree of gloss Up to 80 units Layer structure Multi-layer structure Protective foil A special protective foil is recommended Good formability G uarantees can be arranged for particular objects

Metal Effect Optic PVdF or HDP The lacquered metal design gives the impression of a haptic and optic rendering coat. Structured textile optic with High Durable Polyester (HDP). Plain surface design in PVdF lacquer systems available. SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS Material developed for outside use Different finishes can be agreed LAYER STRUCTURE Two-layer lacquer system PROTECTIVE FOIL Protective foil on request
