The Altered RAL Service

All our RAL shades but with special effects and added functionality

The Polychem Altered RAL Service allows any of the 200 RAL shades to be given a special effect or functionality. They’re all pre-formulated and ready to go!

Just select the required RAL color in our online shop, together with the required special effect or texture. Note that the special effects are called 'Alterations' in the Polychem shop.

Please remember, its very difficult to show real sparkles and many of the special effects on a screen. For best results, order a free sample chip today.

Add any of the special effects that are shown below, to any of the 200 RAL shades that are listed under our RALs Menu

Special Effects

Below you will see some example 'Altered RAL' Products. We have applied some of our special effects to RAL 5002, to demonstrate the different appearances.

Online representation of color/effect may vary from physical panel. Request a free sample panel before purchase.
