Industrial Coatings Solutions
In Industrial Coatings, BASF Coatings has two souls: Precoatings and
Postcoatings.
The Precoatings segment comprises Coil and Foil Coatings.
The coil coating process offers a whole raft of benefits compared with unit
coating. Coating takes place as a continuous process in a closed system and all
surfaces are coated before industrial forming of the steel and aluminum
substrate takes place. Lower material input for cleaning, pre-treatment, and
paint application are some results which not only save costs but are also
better for the environment at the same time. Furthermore, the non-stop, uniform
coil coating process delivers visually perfect surfaces of consistently high
quality.
Foil Coatings include radiation- and acid-curable systems for functional
applications such as doors or floor coverings and coatings for decorative
furniture foils, an area in which BASF Coatings is the world leader. Coating
takes place also as a continuous process in a closed system with all the named
advantages of the coil coating process. Substrates are paperfoils and
plastics.
The Postcoatings side of Industrial Coatings is dedicated to the whole set
of technologies aimed at protecting and improving the functional and aesthetic
characteristics of all surfaces coated after their industrial forming. The
offer of coating products spaces from electro-deposition coatings, both for
anodic and cathodic applications, to all the traditional technologies for spray
and dipping applications, meeting all possible requirements of our challenging
and demanding industries; plastics and metal, solvent and water based, spray or
dipping, high solid or low VOC, you name it! With its leading role in all
different segments of Domestic Appliances and Home Comfort industries BASF
Coatings grants its customers high professional experience and outstanding
reliability.
