Care instructions for powder-coated elements
Powder-coated elements are characterized by a high-quality and decorative coating that gives the material an attractive appearance and additional protection. This coating protects the surfaces from the effects of the weather and mechanical stress.
Why does the material need to be cleaned?
Powder-coated elements are constantly exposed to environmental influences such as smoke, industrial fumes and aggressive airborne dust. These substances can be deposited on the surfaces and, in combination with rain or condensation, corrode the coating, resulting in visual deterioration and possible damage. Regular cleaning helps to maintain the decorative appearance and prolong the life of the coating.
Mechanical damage to the powder coating, for example by forks, shovels or horse's teeth can result in separation of the coating at the edges. These separations can subsequently increase in size. The powder coating must therefore be repaired quickly to prevent infiltration and subsequent reactions.
How is cleaning carried out?
Clean the powder-coated elements with clean water and, if necessary, a small amount of neutral detergent (pH value 7). Use soft, non-abrasive cloths, rags or industrial absorbent cotton and avoid vigorous rubbing. For greasy, oily or sooty soiling, aromatic-free white spirit or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can be used. Residues from adhesives, silicone rubber or adhesive tapes can also be removed in this way. Rinse thoroughly with cold, clean water after cleaning.
The elements must be protected from soiling and damage during construction work after the stable equipment has been installed. Soiling caused by mortar, paint, concrete etc. must be removed immediately.
