Ral Color Sheet For Hydraulic Cylinder Painting
Description
The 4-digit RAL color system has been the standard for color selection for 70 years. Initially, it included only 40 different colors, but it has since expanded to 200 colors. The basic standard for matte colors is RAL 840-HR, while the basic standard for glossy colors is RAL 841-GL. Both of these color samples include shades developed by major research institutes to meet the long-term, large-scale demands of industry. They also contain registered colors used in design applications, as well as safety and signal colors that comply with DIA standards.
Why RAL Color Selection Matters for Hydraulic Cylinder Painting
- Brand Identity & Professionalism
Consistent use of RAL colors aligns cylinders with a company’s branding (e.g., machinery fleets in signature hues), enhancing recognition and conveying professionalism. - Corrosion Resistance & Durability
RAL-approved coatings often incorporate additives to withstand oil, chemicals, UV exposure, and abrasion—critical for hydraulic cylinders operating in extreme conditions. - Safety & Visibility
High-visibility RAL colors (e.g., RAL 1023 “Signal Yellow”) can highlight moving parts or hazardous areas, reducing accident risks. Darker shades (e.g., RAL 7021 “Black Grey”) may hide wear in rugged applications.
- Environmental Compliance
Certain RAL coatings meet eco-friendly standards, minimizing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and complying with regulations in regions like the EU or North America. - Global Compatibility
Using RAL codes simplifies international procurement, ensuring color consistency for replacement parts or multi-country projects. - Aesthetic Longevity
Fade-resistant RAL colors maintain a “like-new” appearance, even after years of exposure to heat, moisture, or hydraulic fluids.
