Powder coatings are solvent-free varnishes that have been processed into fine coating powder in a multi-stage production process. This is applied to the surface to be coated by means of electrostatic spraying equipment and melted and chemically bonded at temperatures of 150 to 200 °C in the subsequent stoving process.
The success story of the environmentally friendly powder coating in industrial surface finishing began in the 1960s, has been subject to continuous innovation ever since, 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
