Serica™ Tightly controlled low surface waviness SericaTM is a premium hot-dip galvanised surface finish, providing finely balanced surface characteristics that result in a minimized waviness of the metallic coated surface. The guaranteed low waviness after forming of less than 0.40 μm enables an excellent paint result, even when thinner or fewer paint layers are used, and allows a lower total cost of ownership for large, exposed panels like hoods, doors, fenders and bodysides. Serica™ is available on formable and bake-hardenable grades in widths up to 1850mm. Surface aspects Zinc layer Pure Zinc (GI) Coating weight Coating thickness double sided single sided 90-140 g/m2 7-10 μm Oiling The material surface is oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oils are available upon request. The amount of supplied oil ranges from 0.5 g/m2 to 2.0 g/m2. Other oiling levels are available upon request.
