MT-D1036 Gloss/ Satin/ Matt is a range of durable powder coatings specially formulated without of TGIC for use on architectural aluminium components. MT- D1036 Gloss/ Satin/ Matt typically meets the performance requirement of AAMA 2603 , AS 3715 and Qualicoat 1 specifications. MT-D1036 Gloss/ Satin/ Matt is designed to provide excellent exterior durability and colour retention and conforms to the requirements of all the major Asia architectural finishing standards.
All MT-D1036 powders are lead-free available in a wide range of color in full gloss such as high gloss, satin and matt finishes. It is designed to produce texture, pearlescent and other special effects can be custom matched to the users' requirements.

For maximum protection it is essential to pretreat components prior to the application of MT- D1036 Gloss/ Satin/ Matt Aluminium components should receive a full multi-stage chromate conversion coating or suitable chrome-free pre-treatment or suitable pre-anodising to clean and condition the substrate. Detailed advice should be sought from the pre-treatment supplier. Galvanised steel requires surface preparation by either multi-stage pretreatment using either zinc phosphate or chromate conversion or controlled sweep blasting. Depending on the type of galvanizing, degassing or use of anti-bubbling additives may be required – follow the procedural advice of the pretreatment supplier. MT-D1036 products may also be used on cast or mild steel. For outdoor use, MT-PZ anti-corrosive primer over a correctly prepared substrate is recommended.
MT-D1036 Gloss (85) powders can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray or tribo-charging equipment. For solid shades, unused powder can be reclaimed up to a maximum of 30% using suitable equipment and recycled through the system. MT-D1036 powders should be applied at minimum 60µm. All powders can show small colour differences from batch to batch, this is normal and unavoidable. Applicators and fabricators are advised to use a single batch for parts that will be assembled together. Differences are more likely with special effect powders. Bonded products have better application properties than blended products (more stable) but attention should still be paid to line settings in order to avoid "marble effect"and changes in aspect after recycling. A constant ratio between virgin and recycled powders should be fixed by the coater in order to achieve a consistent effect. For more details it is suggested to read the "Metallic Application Guideline". Different substrates (aluminium, steel, galvanized steel…), use of primer, and big changes in film thickness may give a different aspect. Products with different codes should not be mixed even if same colour and gloss.
Powder coatings can be categorized by resin system (epoxy, polyester, hybrid, polyurethane), appearance (smooth, texture, hammer, metallic, pearlescent), or performance level (anti-corrosion, heat-resistant, UV-resistant, architectural grade, automotive grade).
Powder coatings offer thousands of colors in gloss, matte, satin, metallic, candy, texture, wrinkle, hammer tone, wood grain, fluorescent, and other custom effects. Special powders can create soft-touch, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, or anti-graffiti surfaces.
The process generally includes surface pretreatment (degreasing, phosphating, chromating, sandblasting), drying, electrostatic spraying, curing in an oven, and cooling. A well-controlled pretreatment and curing process ensures strong adhesion and long service life.
Powder coatings are environmentally friendly, solvent-free, and produce minimal waste. They offer excellent corrosion resistance, weather durability, mechanical strength, and uniform film appearance. The coating is tough, impact-resistant, scratch-resistant, and has a long lifespan.
Powder coatings are widely used in appliances, aluminum profiles, architectural components, automotive parts, bicycles, furniture, outdoor equipment, machinery, electrical cabinets, pipeline systems, and general industrial and consumer goods.
Powder coating is a dry finishing technology where finely ground powder is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal or non-metal surface and then cured at high temperature. After curing, the powder melts into a continuous, durable, and decorative coating layer.
Powder coating protects the substrate from corrosion, weathering, chemical attack, and mechanical wear. It also provides decorative appearance with rich colors, gloss levels, textures, and special effects.
In many industrial applications, powder coating outperforms liquid paint. It forms a thicker and tougher coating, resists corrosion and chemicals better, and does not contain VOCs. It also provides excellent consistency and cost-effective mass production.
It is called powder coating because the coating material is a solid powder instead of a liquid paint. The coating is formed by melting and curing powder particles under heat.
Powder coatings include several families depending on resin chemistry:
• Epoxy powders
• Polyester powders
• Epoxy-polyester hybrid powders
• Polyurethane powders
• Acrylic powders
• Fluorocarbon (PVDF) powders
Each type has its own performance features such as corrosion resistance, UV resistance, chemical resistance, outdoor durability, or decorative properties.
Powder coatings are based on thermoset or thermoplastic resins combined with pigments, curing agents, fillers, additives, and in some cases metallic or effect particles. Common substrates include steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, MDF, and certain heat-resistant plastics.
The lifespan depends on powder type, film thickness, application method, pretreatment, and service environment. Indoor coatings can last more than 10–20 years. High-grade outdoor polyester or fluorocarbon powders can last 15–25 years or longer under UV exposure.
