Sustainable energy solutions
The much talked about revolution in the supply and use of energy is in full motion. The phasing out and gradual reduction of fossil fuels will remain to be one of the central topics in the energy industry for the next few years. TIGER Coatings supports this with tailor-made coating solutions in the solar and photovoltaic sector, for photovoltaics, storage systems, wind power plants, and charging solutions (charging stations and wall boxes).
Depending on the area of application, different materials such as aluminum or steel are processed and resistant surfaces in a wide range of different designs are required. In addition, wallboxes made of fiber-reinforced composites are alsoprocessed with TIGER Powder-In-Mould Coatings, as they have excellent mechanical and structural properties.
Wind turbines and wind energy
Wind energy can be generated on-shore and off-shore. This form of energy is one of the pillars of energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable forms of energy production in the coming years. TIGER supplies this industry with special products that contribute to the longevity of wind turbines.
Charging solutions (charging stations and wallboxes)
For public charging stations and wallboxes, weather-resistant or highly weather-resistant coating solutions are commonly used. Customers in this field prefer fine structures for surface refinement. The extensive selection of TIGER colors, with over 1,600 standard products, and the ability to create Corporate Identity colors are of great importance to customers. As the transition to electric vehicles progresses, the demand for charging stations is steadily and significantly increasing. Charging solution customers appreciate TIGER for the quick availability of custom colors, consistent quality, scratch and weather resistance, as well as the required cleaning stability of the applied powder coating surfaces.
Solar thermal and photovoltaics
Montage rails for PV modules or enclosures of inverters are frequently coated with powder coatings to ensure long-lasting durability of the products. TIGER ensures smooth integration of specific requirements such as adhesive tests into industrial production through a collaborative development process with customers. The weather-resistant or highly weather-resistant properties of the utilized powder coatings are of utmost importance, as inverters are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations ranging from -30°C to +45°C.
Customers in this industry appreciate the excellent adhesion of TIGER powder coatings, which adhere to the components with a higher extent than average. Moreover, consistent coating thickness, batch-to-batch quality, coverage at low layer thicknesses, and efficient, high first-pass yield at the facility are reasons why customers have trusted TIGER for years.
Storage systems and battery storage
Energy storage systems are becoming a part of our daily lives. In residential households, intelligent energy storage systems help provide power and capacity during nighttime hours for heating or electric vehicles. In the energy and industrial sectors, large storage systems are utilized to cover peak demands and supply significant amounts of electricity for short-term needs.
For outdoor applications, a 2-coat system with primer and topcoat is often employed. Depending on the surface preparation and substrate used, this system provides corrosion protection ranging up to corrosion class C5-H. Additionally, customers prefer TIGER's batch-to-batch quality, consistent low coating thicknesses, and the vast product selection, making TIGER the preferred choice for surface finishing products.
