About Acratex® AcraShield® Aluminium
Acratex® AcraShield® Aluminium is a mid build, pigmented, low sheen finish that shifts and changes with the sun throughout the day. AcraShield® Advance Aluminium has excellent durability particularly as the pigment interlocks in the film to reduce moisture permeability and improve resistance to degradation by UV light.
