Functional surfaces
Do you need a sustainable and permanent premium sealant with outstanding anti-fingerprint properties, excellent formability and excellent corrosion resistance? Then multicover® is the product of your choice.
multicover® is a multifunctional, almost invisible sealant (thin organic coating = TOC) on hot-dip galvanized steel strip (Z). Its outstanding properties make multicover® extremely versatile. It is alkali-resistant but can be removed with polar organic solvents. A tailor-made polymer matrix ensures highest corrosion stability, best formability, very good paintability and resistance to fingerprints (anti-fingerprint). Please see the EN 50979 standard for more information.
When using steel strip coated with multicover®, the oiled part must not be degreased, rinsed or dried. The direct formability properties of the material make it possible to directly powder-coat the material after deep-drawing. This results in a considerable reduction in process steps and costs.
Extensive material certification is naturally a minimum requirement at voestalpine in our effort to provide high-performance surcover treatments. Actual properties often go far beyond the standard minimum requirements. These high values in each category are achieved entirely without the use of substances that contain heavy metals or chromium.
multicover® can be applied to a wide range of products.
multicover®, our thin organic coating, is the number 1 sealant and perhaps the most versatile product in our portfolio. Combined with excellent corrosion protection, used as a forming aid and for direct coatability, multicover® is the true high-tech surface treatment.
