‘Satellite’ – Powdertech’s unique lustrous fi nish with an iridescent gleam


P


owdertech (Corby) Ltd has launched its latest powder coating Collection, ‘Satellite’.


The range is made


exclusively for Powdertech to the company’s visual and technical requirements and conforms to BS EN 12206-1 standards and Qualicoat specifi cations. These fi nishes have mesmerising metallic and pearlescent effects with a depth of colour unrivalled in a one-coat application. The mid- sheen fi nish, with vibrant fl ashes of light set in a rich colour, is so intense that it looks like a million satellites in the sky, hence the name. Development of the range arose from a casual conversation between Powdertech and Amron Architectural, one of the leading players in metal mesh for architecture and interior design. Richard Besant, Director at Powdertech, explains: “Amron mentioned the frustrations of


anodic coatings and the diffi culty in


fi nding a powder coating that offers a similar depth of colour and layered iridescent

effect to anodising. That set us thinking, and the result was the Satellite range, launched this month.”


Amron is delighted with the range and


used it, pre-launch, on the profi led sheet walls of the company’s stand at the Surface Design Show in February. Using ‘Callisto’ from the Satellite range, the undulating surface of the profi led sheet was wonderfully enhanced as light bounced off the glittering fi nish. Satellite fi nishes are suitable for internal and external applications and can be applied to most metallic substrates. It is a range that stands alongside anodising, bronzes and golds as a high-quality, fl exible, unique and economic fi nish with excellent durability and colour stability.

ROCKWOOL®


launches NyRock®


s pressure mounts on the construction industry to deliver more thermally efficient


buildings while preserving


standards of fire and acoustic performance, ROCKWOOL has launched NyRock technology, an evolution in stone wool composition that delivers the lowest lambda stone wool insulation available in the UK. Created using a new patented production


process, this next generation stone wool insulation has a more efficient fibre structure that can deliver thermal conductivity as low as 0.032 W/mK. Critically, this means that U-values can be met with comparatively thinner constructions, which in the case of external wall applications, creates the potential for additional interior floor space over a given building footprint.


Alongside its improved thermal efficiency, NyRock technology still delivers all the additional benefits of stone wool insulation including durability,


the ability to be recycled indefinitely, and acoustic and fire ADF09_Rockwool_Insulation_HPAdv.indd 1 WWW.BUILDINGCONSTRUCTIONDESIGN.CO.UK

ease of install, performance. Comprising naturally non-


combustible volcanic rock, ROCKWOOL solutions powered by NyRock technology achieve Euroclass A1 – the highest possible rating – and can withstand temperatures in excess of 1,000°C.


NyRock technology will be rolled out across a range of ROCKWOOL insulation solutions during 2022. Paul Barrett, head of product management


at ROCKWOOL UK said: “To limit the impact of climate change and support the delivery of net zero carbon in the UK by


2050, it’s the responsibility of manufacturers like ourselves to go further, re-inventing and improving on existing solutions. NyRock technology does just that.”


“While stone wool insulation is already known for its proven benefits such as longevity,


circularity,


and non-combustibility that is crucial for protecting people and properties, our patented technology builds on these advantages further.”


“Whether specifiers need a solution to the lower U-values of England’s new Approved Document L that also maximises floor space, or a non-combustible option for a high-rise property with enhanced thermal and acoustic performance, NyRock technology’s industry-leading lambda value for stone wool and ability to reduce the thickness of a construction element support those requirements.”
