Optionally, we can deliver Webnet Frames with a paint coating based on the RAL-Classic color palette.
Stainless steel products are often to be colored in architectural and other design applications. The following
describes the techniques of spectral coloring and electrostatic wet painting for Jakob Rope Systems customers
and explains their advantages and disadvantages.
Webnet products from Jakob Rope Systems can be colored in
shades of black using spectral coloring. Fundamentally, spectral
coloring is not a color coating, instead it is a modification of the
material surface. The workpieces retain their exact shape and
the colors are robust.
In electrochemical coloring, the thickness of the natural chromium oxide passive layer of stainless steel is changed in its thickness between 0.02 and 0.36 µm, so that the light is refracted
differently and a different color effect is created. No dyes or pigments are added.
The electrochemical process is subject to variations, because
the color effect depends directly on the material and surface properties of the workpieces. Ropes, sleeves and Frames from our
Webnet products cannot therefore have the exact same color.
The colors of ropes, sleeves or other fittings can have different
shades.
RAL-tones cannot be achieved with spectral coloring.
No aging of the color occurs from exposure to UV light. The materials can be formed or bent. Nets and connecting ropes are not
damaged during installation.
Limits
For technical processing reasons, stainless steel parts can be
colored up to a maximum length of 50 m, Webnet up to around
100 m2 area or a weight of maximum 150 kg. The coloration may
be compromised at the suspension points.
