Glass-like coatings offer environmentally friendly alternative to chrome plating
Strict REACH regulations require a rethink, and many customers are looking for environmentally friendly coating processes. EPG-AG will be presenting its products and new developments at the Surface Technology trade fair in Stuttgart from June 21 - 23. We are looking forward to finally meet our customers again in presence.
For more than 15 years, EPG AG has been developing coating solutions based on sol-gel technology that can provide an alternative to chrome-plated surfaces. With the products Nanoseal® for the high-temperature range and Saphiral® for the low-temperature range, ultra-thin coatings are accessible that allow the look and feel of the metals to be preserved, and many color nuances set interesting and fashionable accents that are appreciated by customers.
Both Nanoseal® and Saphiral® are REACH-compliant coatings. Since they are mainly made of glass, they do not contain any substances relevant to health or the environment and are even suitable for use in the food industry. The advantages are obvious, offering customers a good alternative to chrome-plating processes and other environmentally harmful coatings.
Coatings on plastic surfaces and with biocidal effects are currently under development. The first tests present good results and show that the sol-gel technology can also offer solutions for these areas.
After four years, EPG AG is looking forward to its first visit to the Surface Technology Germany trade fair in Stuttgart from June 21-23. Come and talk to us and visit us at booth H47.
