Car buyers will not notice any difference in the paintwork of their new car. PDF-Download

The Latest Trend: Matt Clearcoats

BASF Coatings GmbH

Demand for matt automotive clearcoats is expected to rise in the future. They are less sensitive than glossy clearcoats, as soiling is not as noticeable as on a glossy finish. Unfortunately however, matt clearcoats cannot currently be applied using a standard OEM coating process. PDF-Download

Monolayer Coatings for Commercial Vehicles

Herwig Brietzke

The desire to reduce the number of coating layers exists not only for the coating of cars but also in the commercial vehicle industry. A new monolayer coating now makes it possible to coat agricultural and construction machinery attractively with just one instead of the previous two layers and to protect them reliably against corrosion, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.

Tailor-Made Compact Booth

J. Wagner GmbH

Based on standardised components, a new compact quick colour change booth has been developed with a modular design that can be flexibly adapted to any requirement. PDF-Download

Looking to the Future with Dense Phase Technology

A southern German manufacturer of industrial lighting has replaced its 32-year-old electroplating machine with a modern powder coating system that uses dense phase technology. This is a far-sighted investment; the aim is for the new system to keep pace with technological developments over the next 30 years. PDF-Download

Solving Three Problems with One Product

Karl Bubenhofer AG

A fan manufacturing company has chosen an ultra thin film powder for exterior use for the first time. The low temperature system allows the company not only to reduce its energy consumption, but also to meet its own strict environmental standards. PDF-Download

Steffen Decker

Instead of conventional drying with acetone, a manufacturer of ceramic products now dries parts safely, quickly, gently and energy-efficiently in a specially modified condensation dryer. PDF-Download

Megawatt Pulses for Better Coatings

Hüttinger Elektronik GmbH + Co. KG

Hard coatings applied using High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering feature a high density and very good adhesion to the substrate material. Generators developed specifically for this coating process help to ensure that the potential of this process is optimally used. PDF-Download

Electronic Documents Replace Paper

Softec AG

A special business management software package for surface finishing companies simplifies document management and makes the process more efficient, in particular when it is used to replace traditional paper-based archives. The example of one metal finishing firm shows that the software can also be integrated easily into existing administration systems. PDF-Download
