Coatings Premium lacquers for the automotive industry, functional coatings for wind power facilities or protective coatings for the marine industry – innovative coatings combine functionality with aesthetics. Lacquers and paints Cathodic dip coating (CDC) The dip coating is performed in a basin and applies a base coating for the application of subsequent lacquer coats. It can only be used on metal. Primer Serves as an adhesion agent, but also as rust protection and insulation between different coats. Powder coating This industrial coating method is used mainly for applying primers, primer fillers...

The most important sanding applications Sanding off Clear coat rework Fine sanding

Composites Composites are considered materials of the future providing a wide range of applications, e.g. in automotive engineering, the wind power industry, aerospace or machinery and plant construction. The 3 most important types of fibre Glass fibres Carbon fibres Aramide fibres Glass fibres are the most frequently used reinforcement material. They are economical, resistant to ageing, weathering and chemicals, and non-flammable. Optimum sanding enables further finishing and preserves the original unique functions. Carbon fibres are used above all for rigid constructions. They not only help...

Open matrix constructions Mats Fibreglass mats are fibre-reinforced synthetics in which the fibres consist of reinforcement materials and casting resins or thermoplastic polymers, and in which the individual spinning threads or yarns are woven with one another. Fibreglass mats are available off the roll, and are used for example in construction parts. Fibre spraying In fibre spraying, a cutting tool is used to cut continuous fibres (rovings) to the desired length, and introduced into the mould together with resin and hardening agent by means of a fibre spraying gun. As with manual lamination,...
