Drive me crazy! Innovative High-Solid and Ultra-High-Solid coating systems for gearboxes, engines and industrial applications

Why High-Solid or Ultra-High-Solid? For the sake of the environment! The use of high solids content coatings can significantly reduce the emission of organic solvents (VOCs). FreiLacke distinguishes between High-Solid coatings (HS for short) and Ultra-High-Solid coatings (UHS for short). The designations HS and UHS refer to the solids content of a coating. For FreiLacke, high solids means that the proportion of solids in the coating is 70 % (by weight) or more. If the solids content is 80 % or higher, the paints fall into the Ultra-High-Solid category.

Fast drying – great energy-saving potential High solids content in combination with a fast drying process is achieved with the primer UR1407 and the top coat UR1984. Thanks to intensive development work, HS and UHS coatings can be offered both as 2C polyurethane systems and as 2C UHS epoxy systems. All formulations are free of reactive thinners. Good for people and the environment. After drying for 90 minutes at room temperature, the coated parts are packaging ready and the drying oven can be switched off, thus enabling large quantities of energy to be saved. Or the oven remains in operation...

Thick layers? No problem! The 2C-PU-UHS primer UR1937 can also be applied very well as a single-layer coating. 750 h on shot blasted steel are passed without any problems in the salt spray test. The coating is available in all RAL colours, or also specially coloured according to customer requirements. Based on our 2C-UHS epoxy primer ER1936, layer thicknesses of up to 400 µm dry layer thickness can be achieved in a single operation. Thanks to better light resistance compared to epoxy systems, parts primed with UR1937 can also easily be stored outdoors and recoated after cleaning. This system...

The steadily growing requirements placed on surface coatings and the continuous reduction of the total VOC content in paints and coatings led FreiLacke to develop Ultra-High-Solid systems or UHS for short. In the field of conventional coatings, completely new coating systems with a solids content of up to 80 percent by weight and a VOC value < 350 g/l were developed and brought to series-production readiness for this purpose.
