Appliances

AquaEC™, our electrocoat range, has excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance and offers superior corrosion protection. This product is particularly valuable to prevent corrosion on parts with sharp edges. The primer is based on a lead- and tin-free, waterborne formula, which makes it more environmentally-friendly as well as REACH- and HAPS-compliant. Another advantage is its great throwing power, which makes hard-to-reach areas easy to coat. This helps with complex parts configurations, as well as high rack density. AquaEC™ is the ideal solution to be applied on a variety of substrates. The result? A smooth surface finish thanks to its wide application window and high contamination resistance. AquaEC™ is available as an anodic and cathodic technology.

Anticorrosion

Sustainability, life cycle, cost and materials efficiency: these are the issues our industry must consider today to prepare for the future. 

An everyday challenge faced by our powder coating market is finding a good solution for the corrosion of metal substrates. Corrosion is the electrochemical interaction between a metal and its environment, leading to alteration or degradation of aesthetic quality, functionality and integrity. To protect metal substrates against corrosion, an adequate system must be selected and applied effectively, bearing in mind the environments the system will face during its lifetime.
