Corrosivity categories for façades: DIN 18516-1/2024-10 sets new standards

For the first time, precise requirements for the corrosion resistance of façade materials have been defined - tailored to the ambient air (categories C1 to C5). Architects and planners benefit on several levels: 

• Material efficiency: Optimum adaptation reduces costs and avoids oversizing. 
• Durability: Less corrosion, lower maintenance requirements. 
• Optimised protection: High-performance coatings such as FEVE 3L prove themselves even under extreme conditions in categories C4 and C5. 
• Conformity to standards: Planning reliability thanks to tested products. 

ALPOLIC^TM - Maritime quality as standard: 

ALPOLIC^TM composite panels (fr, A2, NC/A1) set new standards in corrosion protection, aesthetics and durability - perfect for industrial, urban and coastal applications. 

• FEVE coating: three-layer coating for maximum corrosion protection. 
• Technical perfection: Brilliance and reliability for extreme conditions. 
• Sustainable performance: Reliable even in demanding environments. 
• Tender documents incl. corrosivity classes
