The coating systems of EPG AG can be used for geometrically complex components. Individual colour requests can be realised and reproduced.
The coating systems of EPG AG based on the sol-gel technology are used today with a variety of metals and plastics, not only for the automotive sector, but also in the household or sanitary sector. They can protect a wide variety of surfaces - whether brushed, blasted or high gloss polished - against dirt, scratches or aggressive chemical influences, offer high corrosion protection and are temperature stable.
Today, coloured coating lacquers, which are produced to customer specifications, are particularly popular. By suitable mixing processes of different colour pigments and measuring the corresponding colour values, reproducible, customer-specific coloured coatings can be delivered. Different degrees of gloss, whether matt or high gloss, can also be adjusted according to the customer's wishes.
These individual colour layers are reproducible for different metal or plastic surfaces, so that even the coating of geometrically complex components is possible. This creates a uniform colour image on different surfaces.
EPG coatings are distinguished by very thin application layers, but these layers nevertheless feature extremely high resistance to corrosion and environmental influences and a high level of scratch resistance. The layers are so thin that they can hardly be seen by the naked eye, and as a result the characteristics of the metallic surface are retained both in terms of touch and feel as well as optically.
Yes, we develop customized solutions for our customers’ products.
If requested by our customers, we are also able to coat samples – including original components. Our experts will be delighted to offer you their advice for this purpose.
Our coatings are subjected to all the quality tests which are important in the relevant industrial sector: e.g. mechanical tests such as abrasion and scratch resistance tests, salt mist tests and tests to check resistance to chemicals. The results can also be seen in our publications.
In addition to anorganic-glass-type systems which are extremely stable even at high temperatures up to 600 °C, EPG can offer hybrids with an anorganic-organic matrix, which display better characteristics when compared with purely organic systems.
