5V-PANEL CRIMP

What is SMP?

SMP stands for Silicone-Modified Polyester, a resin system that combines durable polyester polymers with silicone additives to improve gloss retention, flexibility, and weather resistance. SMP coatings provide a smooth, hard surface that resists chalking, fading, and scratching — maintaining a clean and consistent appearance over time.

While SMP systems do not offer the same chemical resistance or long-term color stability as PVDF coatings, they perform exceptionally well under normal environmental conditions and remain a preferred solution for cost-effective, durable metal finishes.

SMP Shield — Powered by Ceranamel™

Each coil coated with the Plyf™ Shield Paint System uses Axalta Ceranamel™ SMP technology, known for its consistent film quality, excellent adhesion, and weather-tested performance. The Ceranamel™ formulation enhances surface hardness, corrosion protection, and color uniformity — providing a finish that stands strong against UV exposure, moisture, and abrasion.

This system is engineered for versatility and durability, delivering the confidence of Axalta technology backed by the Quality Metals Shield standard.
