These enhancements include:
	Good roll formability without the need for oils
	Excellent transit and field-storage performance without darkening or staining
	The practical eliminations of fingerprinting and footmarking during installation
	Long-term surface brightness when exposed to the environment to help retain heat reflectivity

ACRYLUME® is produced by applying the organic polymer film directly over the zinc-aluminum coating of the GALVALUME® Coated Sheet using roll-coating equipment. Following application of such liquid film treatment, the strip is dried in an oven to provide a clear, dry acrylic coating on the surface of the GALVALUME® Coated Sheet. The coating is clear and flexible and is approximately 1.0 micrometer thick. It also provides lubricity that improves the roll-forming characteristics.

The use of roll-coating equipment to produce ACRYLUME^® provides a uniformity to the surface treatment that is not available by other less complex means of application. Mon Valley Works and Fairfield Works have state-of-the-art equipment that completely covers both sheet surfaces with a clear, uniformly thick acrylic coating.

Performance
ACRYLUME^® has been processed on a number of different roll-forming lines with complete success. The roll-formed profiles included difficult standing-seam types. It is not necessary to add oils to either the strip or the forming rolls. The performance with respect to the job site storage, hand marking and non-uniform darkening has been equally impressive. ACRYLUME^® will exhibit the same spangle variations normal to GALVALUME^®. Roofing panels may therefore exhibit color variation.
