Coatings, inks and sealants

Over 550 products across 28 categories, grouped below by the kind of work they do. A large part of the range was developed to a customer brief rather than taken from a catalogue, so if nothing here matches, describe the problem and our laboratory will formulate against it.

MAIN CATEGORY

Heat-seal, easy-peel, retort and protective lacquers roll coated on aluminium foil and lidding.

MAIN CATEGORY

Metal Packaging and Closures

What a can, tube, aerosol or closure maker applies: internal linings and external coatings, the decorating inks printed between them, and the compounds that make the end and the closure hermetic.

Wire enamels, impregnating resins, casting compounds and insulating varnishes for windings.

Energy and Electronics Coatings

Functional coatings for battery components, electronics and solar assemblies.

MAIN CATEGORY

Application Technologies: Powder and Electrocoat

Two application technologies rather than two markets, kept separate because powder and electrocoat are chosen by how the coating is applied and cured and are used across the markets listed above.

Powder Coatings

Thermosetting and thermoplastic powder for metal and, in low-cure chemistry, wood-based board.

Electrocoat

Waterborne e-coat deposited by immersion and current, reaching recesses spray cannot.
