ANZAL actively selects products and processes that minimise impact on people and the environment. They were early adopters of ultraviolet (UV) painting technology for its cleaner air and higher surface quality compared with traditional solvent-based processes. And in September 2018 — following another major investment in UV technology by parent company Bates Surface Solutions — Fenta top coats became 100% UV-cured in addition to Anzal's primers. Cleaner, greener and more durable, this is a huge leap forward in UV technology for building panel products in Australasia.

Fit-for-purpose in commercial wet areas

Fenta is a pre-finished, washable commercial ceiling tile, made with a quality James Hardie fibre cement-composite board. Finished with a UV-cured white gloss or satin finish, it’s ideal for use where hygiene is critical. Tiles are nominally 595 x 1195 x 4.5mm with sealed backs. Scope of use includes commercial kitchens, commercial bathrooms, changing rooms, laundries, utility areas, healthcare, and laboratories.

Hygienic and fire resistant

Fenta ensures the highest levels of hygiene and sanitation. Water and moisture resistant, its hard, smooth surface is impregnated with an antimicrobial additive to minimise the spread of bacteria, mould and mildew, ensuring compliance with B2 Durability and G3 Food Preparation requirements in the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). The tiles fit into all standard suspended ceiling grids and meet the maximum standard in fire safety: Group 1-S.

Scratch-resistant UV coating

Fenta features a durable UV-coated surface. UV-cured coating systems are harder than conventional coatings and offer excellent impact and scratch resistance. The Fenta surface will last longer than most architectural paint systems, so requires less maintenance over its lifetime.

VOC-free paint

With UV technology, coatings are instantly dried on the UV line with no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. UV curing complies with international environmental standards, such as Global Green Tag, and the coating is manufactured under the ISO 14001 environmental standard.

Highly light-reflective for brighter spaces

Fenta’s high-gloss surface has high reflectivity to maximise light reflectance and light distribution in interiors for improved working conditions and energy efficiency. Service spaces are often windowless, and whenever Fenta has been retrofitted into an existing space, the staff are delighted by the better lighting conditions, making their work easier.
