Products for construction and industrial applications

colofer® complies with the following certifications and regulations: EPD, DGNB, BREEAM, LEED, RoHS, REACH.

More than just maximum protection, a master at all levelsExcellent corrosion protection (RC5) and best values in scratch resistance (40 N) and UV resistance (RUV 4). Up to a 40-year warranty and special guarantees for exceptional loads.

colofer® ROBUST

More than just extremely scratch-resistant, nomen est omen. This product is extremely resistant to scratching thanks to its special surface. The high level of UV resistance (RUV 4*) and a guarantee for altitudes up to 2100 meters are also important features.

colofer® ROBUST RAIN

More than just extremely resistant, just like water off a duck's back. Specially developed for drainage systems, this product has excellent forming properties and is extremely resistant to scratching and corrosion (RC 4).

colofer® MATT

More than just aesthetic roof design, aesthetics meets function. Three different matt surface types, the highest degree of UV resistance (RUV 4*) and automatically guaranteed for altitudes of up to 2100 meters.

colofer® VARIO – Linie Design

The colofer® VARIO Design Line can be ordered with a 3D effect that looks amazingly authentic in a range of different variations. Of course this is combined with the unique and convincing properties of colofer®.

colofer® VARIO Linie Unidecor

Inspired by nature and versatile in its application, VARIO Unidecor perfectly imitates many different surfaces and structures. Original or not original. That is the question.

colofer® VARIO Linie Metallic

The metallic effect with its multifaceted reflections underlines the value and quality of the components. Special metallic pigments create a shiny effect and make the material look different with nuances in color and fascinating optics.

colofer® VARIO Line Iridescent

Is it real or magic? An optical phenomenon is caused by the light diffraction on the surface coating. Depending on the angle of view, the surface colors vary and create an iridescent effect

colofer® CASING

More than just overall protection and aesthetics. The efficient replacement for powder-coated housings in indoor applications, colofer® CASING is characterized by particularly high scratch resistance and can be processed without the use of any protective film

colofer® CLASSIC

More than just standard—the classic choice for outdoor applications features a high level of UV resistance (RUV 3) and an automatic warranty up to 20 years. As a substrate, corrender provides additional corrosion protection.

colofer® UV

More than just brilliant colors, and appearances do not deceive. Thanks to its high-quality PVDF-A coating, this product features exceptional UV resistance (RUV 4) and is automatically guaranteed for altitudes of up to 2100 meters.

colofer® INDOOR

More than just high quality—elegance and functionality in indoor use. The high-quality two-layer system consisting of primer and polyester paint in combination with corrender has significant advantages when compared with conventional products for indoor applications.

colofer® REVERSE

More than just reverse-side protection, colofer® REVERSE is specially adapted to each individual application with additional functionality. The back side is coated with a single layer of colofer® REVERSE for extra protection.

PROTECTIVE FILM

The protective film protects the colofer® product during processing and assembly and highlights the high quality of the product.

Types of atmospheres (according to EN 10169)

Country (C2)

Atmosphere prevailing in rural areas and small towns that contains almost no corrosive substances such as sulfur dioxide and/or chlorides

City (C3)

Polluted atmosphere prevailing in densely populated areas without significant industrial activities. It contains moderate levels of corrosive substances such as sulfur dioxide and chlorides.

Industry (C3-C5)

Atmosphere polluted by corrosive emissions from local or regional industrial operations (mostly sulfur dioxide). Industrial atmospheres are divided into three categories according to SO2 levels (low, medium and high content).

Ocean (C3–C5)

Atmosphere prevailing in coastal regions. Marine atmospheres are divided into the following three categories depending on salt content and distance to the coast: low salt content (10–20 km from the coast), medium salt content (3–10 km from the coast), high salt content (0–3 km from the coast).

Varying geographical locations and altitudes

Northern

Locations north of the 37th parallel (recommended UV resistance class: RUV 3)

Southern

Locations south of the 37th parallel (recommended UV resistance class: RUV 4)

Up to 900 m
