Tata Steel has launched its new generation three layer Colorcoat Prisma® pre-finished steel, following a substantial investment
on the manufacturing line. New Colorcoat Prisma® offers superior ultraviolet (UV) resistance and durability. The latest
evolution is based on revolutionary three-layer technology, completely chromate free to be REACH compliant, that delivers
greatly enhanced aesthetics with superior color and gloss retention. The new Colorcoat Prisma® product pushes the boundaries
of pre-finished steel and is available with an extended Confidex® guarantee for up to 40 years. Colorcoat Prisma® is the result
of many years of product development with R&D support, which provided all R&D data required for the product launch,
including producing signed technical product specifications for all colors and trials. Working closely with the manufacturing,
marketing, commercial and business development teams, R&D managed and delivered all the technical requirements, which
enabled the enhanced guarantee package to be signed off by both Tata Steel Exco and back to back guarantee from the paint
supplier. In order to develop a profitable business from outside of Europe markets for Prisma®, R&D delivered full assessments
according to ASTM standards, performed externally which represent a distinct advantage.
