RAL 6013 Reed Green Double-Sided Painted Aluminum Coil

RAL 6013 Double-Sided Painted Aluminum Coil for Construction

RAL 6013 double-sided painted aluminum coil is a prefinished aluminum material developed for gutters, roof flashing, fascia, cladding, ventilation components, architectural trim and general metal fabrication. Both surfaces can be finished in RAL 6013 Reed Green where two visible or protected faces are required.

PE polyester and PVDF fluorocarbon coating systems are available according to the required exposure environment. Coil thickness, width, inner diameter, roll length, gloss level and other production parameters can be specified in metric or imperial units to match North American fabrication equipment and project drawings.

For construction and fabrication projects in the United States and Canada, the aluminum substrate, coating performance, color tolerance and test documentation can be supplied according to the confirmed purchase specification and applicable project requirements.

RAL 6013 Reed Green Color

Official RAL 6013 Reed Green Reference

RAL 6013 is officially designated Reed Green in the RAL Classic color system. It is a muted architectural green suitable for exterior trim, rainwater systems, cladding details, equipment housings and other applications requiring a subdued natural appearance.

Physical Color Approval Before Production

Computer screens and printed images should not be used as the final color standard. For color-sensitive projects, RAL 6013 should be confirmed using an approved physical reference or production sample before mass coating.

Matte and Gloss Finish Options

Matte, semi-gloss or glossy appearance can be discussed according to the selected coating system. Color and gloss should be approved together because the same RAL shade can appear visually different at different gloss levels.

Technical Specifications

Specification note: Alloy, temper, coating thickness, substrate tolerance, color tolerance, gloss and coating performance should be defined in the purchase specification. North American project requirements vary by application, so compliance should be confirmed against the specific material and test standards required by the project.

Double-Sided Coating for Two Visible Surfaces

RAL 6013 on Front and Reverse Surfaces

Both surfaces can be finished in RAL 6013 where the reverse face remains visible after installation or requires a finished protective appearance. This configuration is useful for trims, flashing, ventilation parts, exposed metalwork and other folded components.

Separate Front and Back Coating Control

For technical orders, front and reverse coating thickness, gloss and appearance should be specified separately. A product described as double-sided does not necessarily require identical coating builds on both faces unless this is stated in the purchase specification.

Color Difference Control

A production sample or approved master reference can be used to control front-to-back and batch-to-batch appearance. Where color matching is critical, the permitted color difference can be defined instrumentally as an agreed Delta E tolerance rather than described as absolute zero color difference.

PE vs. PVDF Coating for North American Projects

PE Polyester for Mild or Sheltered Exposure

PE polyester is an economical coating option for many trims, sheltered building components, indoor fabrication and moderate-service applications. It offers broad color and gloss flexibility and practical forming performance.

PVDF for Long-Term Exterior Exposure

PVDF is generally preferred for exterior cladding, flashing, roofing accessories and other applications exposed to stronger sunlight and weathering. Required color retention, gloss retention and corrosion performance should be matched to the exact coating formulation and project environment.

Coastal and High-Salinity Locations

For coastal locations in the United States or Canada, the complete coating system should be reviewed rather than selecting PVDF by name alone. Pretreatment, primer, topcoat thickness, reverse coating, cut edges, fasteners and chloride exposure all influence corrosion performance.

North American Construction Applications

Gutters and Rainwater Components

Prepainted aluminum coil can be slit and roll-formed for suitable gutters, rainwater trim and related drainage components. Alloy, temper, gauge and width should be selected according to the gutter machine and finished profile.

Fascia, Roof Edge and Flashing

RAL 6013 coil can be fabricated into fascia covers, drip edges, flashing and architectural trim where a coordinated green finish is required across roofing and exterior-building components.

Cladding and Architectural Trim

For cladding or exposed exterior trim, coating selection should consider UV exposure, orientation, local climate and required appearance retention. PVDF or another architectural coating system may be preferable for demanding long-term exposure.

Ventilation and Duct Components

Double-sided painted coil can be used for suitable ventilation covers, duct panels and folded sheet-metal components where both sides may remain visible. Coating selection should reflect indoor or exterior exposure.

Industrial and Custom Metal Fabrication

Other uses include equipment panels, outdoor housings, signs, decorative strips and fabricated components requiring a factory-applied green finish and repeatable coil processing.

Imperial Gauge and Width Customization

Thickness Specified in Inches or Millimeters

North American buyers can specify material thickness in inches, decimal gauge values or millimeters. For example, 0.025 in is approximately 0.635 mm. The purchase order should state the required nominal thickness and tolerance rather than relying only on an informal gauge description.

Custom Slit Width

Coil can be slit to match gutter, flashing, trim or roll-forming lines. Providing the finished profile or machine feed width helps confirm the correct slit dimension and reduce downstream material waste.

Coil ID, Length and Weight

Inner diameter, roll length and coil weight can be discussed according to the customer's decoiler, material handling equipment and production batch size.

Roll Forming and Fabrication Performance

Slitting and Cutting

Prepainted coil can be slit or cut to suit downstream fabrication. Edge quality, slit tolerance and protective-film requirements should be specified where the finished component has visible edges.

Bending and Roll Forming

Coating flexibility depends on the complete paint system, film thickness, aluminum alloy, temper and bend radius. Normal fabrication can be supported with an appropriate specification, but tight hems and severe profiles should be evaluated using a T-bend test or actual production trial.

Protective Film for Visible Surfaces

Protective film can be supplied where additional scratch protection is required during slitting, bending, assembly, transport or installation. Film adhesion and removal conditions should be matched to the coating surface and fabrication sequence.

Color and Coating Quality Control

Inspection can be carried out against the approved project specification before shipment. Where repeat orders or multiple project phases are planned, an approved master color sample is recommended.

• Aluminum alloy and temper verification where specified

• Substrate thickness and width measurement

• Front-side coating thickness measurement

• Reverse-side coating thickness measurement

• RAL 6013 color comparison against approved reference

• Color difference measurement where an agreed Delta E tolerance is specified

• Gloss measurement where required

• Coating adhesion testing according to agreed method

• T-bend or forming evaluation where required

• Salt-spray or accelerated-weathering testing according to project requirements

North American Project Documentation

Material Certificate

An MTC can be supplied for the confirmed aluminum substrate where required. If the project specifies ASTM B209/B209M or another material reference, the required alloy, temper and dimensional requirements should be stated before production.

Coating Inspection Documentation

Coating-thickness, color, gloss, adhesion and other inspection records can be discussed according to the confirmed project specification and applicable test methods.

Project-Specific Requirements

Building codes and material requirements vary by project, jurisdiction and application. Buyers should provide the required material standard, coating test standard, documentation list and acceptance criteria before order confirmation.

Export Packaging for US and Canada Shipments

Coils can be wrapped with moisture-resistant plastic film and kraft paper, with edge protection added where required. Finished coils can then be secured to export-grade wooden pallets according to coil diameter and weight.

Packaging should be selected to reduce moisture exposure, surface rubbing, edge damage and movement during ocean freight and inland transportation. Special packing requirements can be included in the purchase specification.
