Ease of application and excellent batch consistency
In order to apply TIGER Drylac® 3D-Metallics, no changes need to be made to the usual coating process - the powder coating can be sprayed on electrostatically and cured in the oven as usual.
In addition, TIGER Drylac® 3D Metallics powder coatings in 138 chemistry are characterized by high batch consistency and cycle stability. Their insensitivity to changes in system parameters and changes in the proportion of fresh powder to reclaimed powder make them a sustainable alternative to liquid coatings: for MORE surface finishing in just one coat.
Spectacular effects
TIGER Drylac® 3D metallics are available in different gloss levels as well as in smooth and finely textured surfaces and impress with maximum homogeneity in their effect. In this way, complex part geometries can be enhanced with a special, weather-resistant design.
Discover a wide range of fascinating effects in the TIGER webshop and create unique metallic finishes according to your ideas.
This can be measured in terms of the intensity and area of the visible effect at different angles. The following graphic compares TIGER Drylac® 3D Metallics with an effect powder coating conventionally produced using the bonding process. Despite the identical pigment type and concentration, the standard product shows the typical effect flop: At an angle of 15°, the metallic look is easily measurable and visible, while at others it is difficult to detect. TIGER Drylac® 3D metallics are characterized by striking effects at all measured angles.
Environmentally friendly technology
Like all TIGER powder coatings, TIGER Drylac® 3D Metallics are free from solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, our company has the technology to manufacture TSR-optimized products.
For green building certifications such as BREEAM, LEED or DGNB, we can provide you with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and manufacturer declarations.
