Powder coating is the greenest and most effective coating technology currently available to the industry. Solvent-free baking enamels are processed in a multi-stage production process into a fine powder coating that is applied using an electrostatic spray device and then melted and chemically bonded in the subsequent curing process at temperatures of 150 to 200 °C.
The success story of powder coating in industrial surface finishing started in the 1960s, has been subject to constant innovations since then and continues to impress its users today with numerous advantages:
Solvent-free
Protection and decoration
Durable surface
Almost 100% material utilization
Best results in one-coat
High mechanical properties
Easy and clean to work with
Can be used on numerous substrates
Green Lab
Sustainability impacts all the research and development activities at the modern TIGER R&D Center.
Our current research focus is on:
- Lowering the curing temperatures
- Reducing the film thickness
- Maximizing the lifespan of the coating
- Developing solar reflective coatings to reduce building temperatures
- Enabling the product´s reuse (recycling)
- Searching for substitute materials for CMR components (CMR = carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reprotoxic)
- Using bio-based raw materials
