INNOVATIVE COIL COATING TECHNOLOGY

MSC’s Coated Coils Support the Door Industry

Steel door manufacturers rely on pre-painted steel coils that meet the growing demand of overhead, entry and service door industries. Customer satisfaction that builds brand equity is of the utmost importance to our clients.

Pre-painted and embossed coils are now the standard in the industry in a multitude of colors. MSC’s coil coating lines are capable of providing superior coatings and embossing that save clients time and money, while eliminating the need for post and/or field painting.

A major benefit of MSC’s pre coated coils are uniform, edge-to-edge coverage of pre-treatment, primer and finish coats. MSC’s process ensures superior paint adhesion, paint flow, color consistency and corrosion-resistance over a post painted door.

MSC provides electrogalvanized/bonderized materials, which can be differentially coated (different amounts of zinc on each side of strip).  We can also provide post-plating treatments that are functional and can improve performance with specific applications.

Materials to Eliminate Sound at the Source

HVAC manufacturers are confronted with a real dilemma. On the one hand, today’s discerning consumers are extremely sensitive to environmental sound levels. On the other hand, the large, flat surfaces of many HVAC products are natural sound amplifiers. Silencing your products with premium materials and add-on treatments represent add-on costs while often creating manufacturing and assembly issues.

MSC offers a better alternative with a series of unique material solutions that damp annoying noise and vibration directly at the source. MSC can deliver coated, painted, and laminated materials to satisfy virtually any functional requirement while meeting the designer’s goals for style and visual impact.

Quiet Steel® is widely used in the HVAC industry for both mechanical components such as fan and motor mounts, as well as sound-damping enclosures. It can be supplied with a broad range of surface treatments including paint and one or two-side electrogalvanizing.

MSC Quiet Aluminum® has the same Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) damping performance as Quiet Steel, but with a fraction of the mass. Similar to Quiet Steel, Quiet Aluminum uses an engineered viscoelastic layer laminated between two sheets of aluminum to meet application-specific damping, temperature, stiffness and operating environment needs. It can be supplied as continuous coil or blanked sheets with a variety of coatings from forming lubricants to pre-paint.

MagnaDamp® offers the damping benefits of Quiet Steel in an easy-to-implement magnetic package. Available in coil and sheet in a variety of material thicknesses, MagnaDamp is an excellent way to address resonances or vibrations that are transmitting through the HVAC equipment case.

Sound Damping Solution for Metal Roofing

Consumers love the look of metal roofs, until it rains and the sound of a metal roof gets all of their attention. The premium materials and add-on treatments required to dampen an ordinary metal roof can add cost and complicate the installation. Even then, many buildings such as schools, hospitals, airports and municipal offices won’t even consider a metal roof because of the noise.

MSC offers a better alternative known as Quiet Steel®. This unique metal solution cuts wind noise up to 20% and rain/hail noise up to 40%. By eliminating add-on sound deadening treatments, consumers get the sound protection they require for a fraction of the cost and installation time.

Quiet Steel is a unique Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) damping material that uses an engineered viscoelastic layer laminated between two sheets of steel to meet application-specific damping, temperature, stiffness and operating environment needs. It can be supplied roll-formed to any panel shape in virtually any desired color and works with all paint systems in common use.

A Quiet Steel roof is 100% recyclable and meets existing building codes for fire, wind and snow loading and impact resistance. Quiet Steel can be used in current production processes. If weight is a concern, Quiet Aluminum® offers the same benefits in a lightweight package.

Sound Damping Alternative to Stainless Steel

As an alternative to high-cost stainless steel in escalators, elevators, and other interior architectural applications, MSC recommends Deco Steel®. This laminate solution consists of a thin stainless steel surface, a vibration-damping viscoelastic core, and a cold-rolled steel or electrogalvanized substrate.

Metal Coatings and Laminates

Along with our metal-to-metal laminates, MSC specialty coil coatings and film laminating technologies can be used in a number of cutting edge building products, including zinc and aluminum roofing or decorative wall panels using plastisol coatings or decorative films. MSC industry experts have the ability to help you create breakthrough products quickly and cost-effectively. Metal surfaces are used extensively in the building and construction industry, both for performance and decoration. MSC’s specialty coating and metal laminates offer a unique portfolio of products to serve this market.
