Providing the Right Technology for Challenging Environments
BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global manufacturer of
liquid and powder coatings, will attend the European Coatings Technology
Forum Coatings for Agriculture and Construction Equipment (ACE),
taking place in Berlin, Germany, on November 24, 2016 at 11:45 a.m. Dr.
Carlos Rodriguez Santamarta, Marketing and Strategy Manager for Axalta’s
Industrial Coatings business in Europe, Middle East and Africa, will
discuss trends and technological advances in coatings for the ACE
market, which has an estimated worth of US$1.5 billion annually.
Agricultural, construction and earthmoving equipment is often operated
in harsh environments and exposed to humidity, wind, weather and UV
radiation, which places tough demands on the coatings used to protect
and to enhance it.
Santamarta’s presentation, ACE coating technologies – the key to
choosing the right system, will explore not only the key
requirements of current ACE coatings performance level specifications,
but also the implication that financial constraints have for application
costs.
“As a global coatings manufacturer, we at Axalta see the need to offer
high-quality coatings while reducing overall costs in order to address
ACE manufacturers’ requirements,” Santamarta explains. “For many ACE
manufacturers, excellent gloss and color retention, combined with a high
degree of edge protection and corrosion protection, are high on their
list of coatings priorities. But they rarely specify whether they want a
one- or two-layer coating system to provide that protection. Axalta
offers a variety of one- and two-layer coating systems to meet the
standards set by many ACE manufacturers.”
Axalta provides an extensive portfolio for the ACE market including the
one-layer polyester powder ranges Alesta® IP and Alesta SD.
AquaECTM 5100, AquaEC 5500 and AquaEC 5700 are Axalta’s
well-established one-layer acrylic e-coat system.
For two-layer systems, Axalta’s PercoTop® CS381, an
epoxy-based solventborne liquid primer, is ideal for applications where
higher functional protection is needed. And PercoTop 9675 and PercoTop
771 are Axalta’s most popular polyurethane ACE topcoats.
The European Coatings Technology Forum this year takes place in Berlin,
Germany on 24 and 25 November 2016.
