LUMITAL™ FINISH AND LUMISEAL™ LIGHTING GLOBE
FOR INCREASED RESISTANCE.

Whatever project you design, lighting fixtures should not be chosen solely on the basis of their illumination characteristics. A positive first impression is crucial, which is why the quality of the finish is so important. Lumec’s ongoing product improvement program has led to the development of a complete surface finish system for exterior applications: the Lumital™ process.

The Lumital™ textured finish consists of a specially formulated thermosetting polyester resin based powder coating that integrates hardening agents, pigments and modifying agents. The finish is applied to a well prepared surface utilizing our state of the art surface treatment and finishing system.

The Lumiseal™ coating, which is one of the four steps in the surface treatment process used for aluminium, is the catalyst for a chemical reaction during the electrostatic application of the Lumital finish. This reaction increases both the protective capacity of the coating and the adherence of the finish, creating a bond between the material and the finish. The surface treatment process for steel involves six steps, including hot phosphating. This process deposits a layer of zinc phosphate that will protect the surface finish against corrosion in case the surface finish is damaged.

The Lumital™ finish has enhanced resistance to ultraviolet rays, salt spray corrosion and extreme weather conditions. Our products meet both the ASTM B1 and ASTM D2247 68 standards.
