FINISH WARRANTIES	
Dura Tech™ xl finishes are offered with a Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty and a 25 year Non-Residential Limited Warranty.	
COMPOSITION & APPLICATION	
Dura Tech™ xl coatings are factory applied, oven cured formulas applied by approved coil coaters. They utilize Silicon Modified Polyester (SMP) resins and inorganic, IR reflective pigments for superior long-term performance.	
PRETREATMENT	
All substrates are pre-treated in accordance with paint manufacturer’s instructions. The pretreatment is to provide a suitable surface for application of the recommended primer.	
BATCH SENSITIVE PRODUCTS - PEARLESCENT METALLIC & PRINTS	
For select finishes, minor differences in color and appearance are normal and to be expected, due to the use of variable color pigments or finish patterns. To minimize the possible visual effects from the minor variations in these products, an entire job should be sourced at one time.
Additionally, fabricated panels, flat sheets, and flashings should be orientated in the same direction for installation. Contact your ASC Building
Products representative for more information.	
1 Coated steel includes the following types of steel G90 hot dip galvanized, Galvalume®, and ZINCALUME®.
2 Fracturing or rupturing of substrate will rupture coatings. Heavy gauge and clad steel substrates impose limitations on formability.
