Applications & Coatings.
These articles cover how coated aluminum coil is specified for a given job: roofing, gutters, cladding, ACP skins, rolling shutters, signage, license plates, and truck and trailer panels. Orbit offers PE, HDPE, PVDF, PU, PUPA, Epoxy, Acrylic and Epoxy-PE coating systems, and the right one depends on the exposure and on how the part is formed. Each article ends with links to the product and application pages it relates to, so you can move from a question about one application to the coil and coating that serve it.
