Everything from the material substrate, to the configuration of the primer coat, right through to the external finish that is uniquely embossed with the Steon® emblem has allowed for the evolution of organically coated steel in way that has not been seen in a generation.
Mission XP40® brings a newlevel of performance that not only extends the life of your investment but reduces your carbon footprint at the same time. Tomorrow’s external finish for today.
