UniShield16
Sustainable and Durable Surface Protection
UniShield16 is an advanced coating technology developed by Unilamp to provide superior surface protection for outdoor and architectural lighting. Engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, this innovative technology combines exceptional durability with eco-friendly formulations, free from toxic chromates. As part of Unilamp’s UniGreen initiative, UniShield16 supports sustainable practices while offering long-term value—enhancing fixture longevity, reducing maintenance costs, and setting the benchmark for premium luminaire protection.
Key Characteristics of UniShield16
1. Exceptional Durability in Challenging Environments
UniShield16 provides robust protection against moisture, salt spray, dust, and ultraviolet radiation. Its corrosion resistance has been thoroughly validated across a variety of demanding environments—such as coastal regions and industrial areas—where exposure to extreme elements can lead to rapid fixture deterioration. This ensures long-term structural integrity and visual consistency.
2. High-Performance Coating System
UniShield16 is built upon a meticulously engineered three-coating-layer system, delivering a total coating thickness of 120 microns. Each layer is specifically formulated to enhance durability, environmental resistance, and long-term aesthetic performance:
- Nano-Ceramic Coating
This environmentally friendly coating is developed without the use of toxic chromate compounds, in line with modern sustainability standards. Using advanced nano-ceramic technology, it creates a chemically stable barrier that offers excellent corrosion resistance and enhances substrate passivation. The coating also improves the surface properties to promote strong adhesion of additional layers and provides outstanding chemical resistance, making it highly effective in coastal, industrial, and other harsh environments.
- Anti-Corrosive Primer Coating
Applied over the nano-ceramic base, the primer serves as a key bonding agent between substrate and topcoat. It improves mechanical strength, reduces the risk of delamination, and enhances resistance to impacts, scratches, and micro-cracks. This layer significantly extends the protective performance of the overall system, especially under harsh environmental stressors.
- Polyester Topcoat
The outermost layer is a UV-stabilized polyester coating designed for exceptional color retention, gloss stability, and weather resistance. It protects the fixture from ultraviolet degradation, moisture, and surface erosion while preserving visual appearance over time. Its resilience to thermal expansion and contraction also ensures continued performance across a broad range of temperatures.
Together, these three-coating-layers form a comprehensive, high-performance coating system that provides outstanding corrosion and environmental protection, enhanced mechanical durability, and long-term retention of color and finish.
3. Eco-Friendly Formulation
As part of the UniGreen initiative, UniShield16 avoids the use of toxic chromates. Its nano-ceramic technology provides outstanding corrosion protection while minimizing environmental impact, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable lighting solutions without compromising on performance.
4. Proven Long-Term Performance
With over 31 years of real-world application, UniShield16 has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness across a wide range of lighting projects. It maintains both mechanical integrity and visual appeal—even under severe environmental conditions—making it a trusted choice for projects requiring long-lasting reliability.
5. Cost Efficiency Through Extended Service Life
Fixtures coated with UniShield16 benefit from significantly reduced maintenance requirements and extended service intervals, even in the most demanding environments. This enhanced durability directly contributes to a lower total cost of ownership, offering long-term savings and a strong return on investment beyond the initial installation.
With UniShield16, Unilamp delivers lighting solutions you can depend on and service you can trust—engineered for reliability, performance, and enduring value.
6. Advanced Protection Features
UniShield16 significantly enhances the smoothness and uniformity of surface treatments, resulting in a visually superior and aesthetically consistent finish. This high-quality surface appearance is especially valuable in architectural applications and other installations where components remain visible and contribute to the overall design. By minimizing surface imperfections and ensuring even coating distribution, UniShield16 helps achieve a premium look that aligns with modern design expectations and elevates the perceived value of the finished product.
