Duralux Solar Coatings is a complete range of paints for solar mirrors designed and tested to meet the strictest durability and resistance standards for the latest Solar Heating System technologies. Solarlux paints are designed to guarantee: - High chemical resistance to corrosion and UV radiation; - The best performance under thermal and environmental stress; - Exceptional resistance to abrasion. The paints are available in different types: copper and copper-free, zero-lead or low-lead mirrors and for different application methods: - 2 coatings (basis + top) - 3 coatings (basis + intermediate + top)
Testing is central to innovation. Solarlux solar mirror paints are so much on the cutting edge of the world’s chemical world that new parameters had to be developed for their specific testing. Fenzi, along with other industry players, took part in the drafting of these parameters, as tangible proof of its extraordinary innovation-oriented focus.
Strict tests set a lower than 1% loss of reflection of the silver metal film and simultaneously the achievement of the maximum chemico-physical strength.
Reference tests where Solarlux paints have demonstrated their extreme under the most diverse and critical stress conditions are: - high resistance to sand abrasion (ASTM D968) - high resistance to humid-static tests (EN-1036-1 for 480 hours) - high resistance to saline mist (EN-ISO-9227 for 480 hours) - high resistance to CASS Test (four cycles for 480 hours in total, EN-ISO-9227) - high resistance to exposure to climate cycles (EN-1279-2) - high resistance to UV rays (QUV test for 3000 hours) - excellent performance under Blue M test (85% RH – 85° for 120 hours) - high resistance to weather fluctuations (Weather Ometer WOM for 3,000 hours)
