New Plostic Finish

Kaiser Aluminum has announced a new plastic flnish for its low maintenance residential siding products, called KaI-ShieId.

When Kaiser Aluminum introduced its first aluminum house siding 18 years ago, it initiated what is now considered to be the industry's longest continuous evaluation program for aluminum siding finishes. On the basis of comparisons with other finishes, only one finish met the established requirements of durability.

This new finish, Kal-Shield, is moleculary interlocked with Kaiser aluminum siding alloy in the coating process at a temper- ature of 400 degrees F., bonding the plastic finish to the metal. The proven result is a finish that lasts up to ten times as long as oil base housepaint of the same color.
