Our Commitment to Quality

Cutting Edge Testing Procedures & Machines to Test the Best Roofing Products.  

Quality is our Pride

Our unfailing commitment to quality – all raw materials are tested for integrity before being processed. After the manufacturing process tests are conducted again, to assure the integrity of our finished products.

Quality Assurance Tests

Raw Materials Testing

1. Mechanical Test - Assures raw materials compliance to tensile strength of 80,000 PSI

2. Base Metal Thickness Test - Assures raw materials compliance to thickness

Quality Compliance Tests

These tests assures APO Galfan’s compliance to various International Standards

1. Coating Mass Test - Monitors the weight of the Galfan coating

2. Coating Mass Composition Test - Ensures the 95% zinc & 5% aluminum alloy composition

3. Reverse Impac & T-Bend Test - Assures that the galfan coating meets superior adhesion qualities

Quality Assurance Tests

Physical tests conducted for Paint’s Dry Film ( After processing in the CCL, all prepainted coil are tested.)

1. Reverse Impact & T-Bend Tests - Are the ultimate tests that ensure paint adhesion and flexibility.

2. Paint Inspection Gauge & Micrometer Test - Ensures the desired paint thickness is achieved.

3. Accelerated Weather & Environmental Exposure Test - Determines total paint performance in different weather.

4. Chemical Resistance & Solvent Resistance - Are reliability tests that monitors and evaluates the reaction of the Total Paint system when exposed to various hazardous & chemical environments.

4. Gloss meter & Hunter Lab UV Test - Ensures the aesthetic consistency of the painted product for its designed life cycle.

APO Galfan's Superior Quality

Local and International Tests done to prove the superiority of Galfan® over normal GI & Galvalume

APO Galfan's Actual Corrosion Performance
in a 5-Year Actual Exposure

In 2007, the Industrial Technology &Development Institute- Dept of Science & Technology (ITDI-DOST) conducted a 5-year actual corrosion performance test.

ITDI-DOST gathered samples of Galvanized Iron, Galvalume, and APO Galfan and exposed it to the environment for a period of 5-years. The photos on the right shows that the Galvanized Iron samples displayed corroded the most and next, the Galvalume samples also showed a lot of rest rust while the APO Galfan samples showed the least amount of corrosion.

Galfan® Superior Attributes

In 2015, Bronx International Australia did a comparative study and released a paper entitled Galfan®-Low Cost, High performance Metallic Coating. The table on the right summarizes and highlights the superiority of Galfan® over other coating such as Regular Galvanized and Galvalume.

Galfan®- Low Cost High Performance Metallic Coatings

Corrosion Test Conducted in Japan

A 1000 Hour Salt-Spray Exposure test was done by Nisshin Steel of Japan. The Test show that Galfan has superior corrosion resistance among other types of Galvanized steel coatings such as GI ( Galvanized Iron) and Galvalume.

1000 Hour Salt Spray Test

180° or Zero T-Bend Test

A sample of GI (Galvanized Iron), Galvalume and APO Galfan was taken and bent at 180° to mimic the stress applied to the galvanized coating during bending or performing.

After the test, GI and Galvalume both had severe existence of microscopic cracks on the coating. For APO Galfan had no signs of cracks.

This proves the superior adhesion and flexibility of Galfan coating to the base metal even under extreme bending pressures giving the strongest corrosion resistance.
