ThermoForming prolongs visual appeal of Sil-Poly coated galvanized G60 substrate:PhotoCold forming of panel with G60 galvanizedsubstrate and siliconized-polyester topcoatingproduces tension-bend cracks in the siliconizedpolyesterpaint and galvanized coatings.(150x mag.)PhotoWith ThermoForming, note there are no cracksin the siliconized-polyester paint and galvanizedcoatings. This panel was ThermoFormed at124F. (150x mag.)ThermoForming adds life, looks and value to Sil-Poly coated galvanized G90 substrate:PhotoNot cracking as much as the other coatings, thesiliconized-polyester coated G90 substrate stillreflects tension-bend cracks in both galvanizedand paint layers. This panel was cold-rolled at72F. (150x mag.)PhotoThermoForming eliminates tension-bend crackingin G90 galvanized strata as well as in thesiliconized-polyester paint coating. This panelwas ThermoFormed at 133F.
