the product has been shown to reduce energy consumption and<br />
costs. KABE Farben has a large range of low-temperature products<br />
in many other areas and applications, where they greatly benefit the<br />
customer.<br />
Reducing Hazardous Emissions in Pretreatment and Paintshops<br />
At Kluthe, innovative new products and product advancements are<br />
based on sustainable raw materials, reduced chemical consumption<br />
and lower application temperatures. The aim here is to decrease customers’<br />
energy needs and associated CO2 emissions as far as possible.<br />
Thin-film technology and low-temperature zinc phosphating<br />
systems from Kluthe, for example, do more than just save energy and<br />
cut CO2 emissions – they also conserve limited resources, reduce<br />
waste and lower costs. „Continuous optimisation allows us to reduce<br />
our consumption of scarce resources, become more energy efficient<br />
and lower our emissions of CO2 and other pollutants, both at our facilities<br />
and at those of our customers,“ says Stefan Lenzer, Head of<br />
the Pretreatment Global Business Unit at Kluthe.<br />
The company will also be presenting DECORRDAL at PaintExpo<br />
<strong>2024</strong>. This thin-film technology makes efficient use of resources<br />
and is the key to designing an environmentally conscious and sustainable<br />
pretreatment process. With products for the paintshop such<br />
as CYCLOSOL, a flushing medium characterised by its efficient circulation<br />
and its suitability for recycling, Kluthe is actively helping to<br />
reduce waste and make full use of resources. Sustainable CONTROX<br />
paint removers are VOC-free and can be used sparingly, which helps<br />
to significantly reduce harmful emissions. In addition, Kluthe also<br />
sells NIKUTEX, a water-based cleaning agent that is not only economical<br />
but also highly effective when it comes to minimising environmental<br />
impact.<br />
Customers can also make use of innovative sustainability tools<br />
that calculate the environmental impact of their processes and offer<br />
advice on how to reduce emissions, waste and costs.<br />
Sustainable Recycling for Powder Coating Waste<br />
As a specialised recycling company, Nelco from Belgium, annually<br />
recycles around 10,000 tonnes of the powder coating waste that remains<br />
in the filters and extraction systems of powder coating plants.<br />
„There‘s no other company like ours in Europe, because we give new<br />
life to waste powder, treating it so that it can be reused as moulded<br />
parts for the automotive or machine industry,“ explains CEO Arnd<br />
Nelde. After the second life of these materials, the moulded parts<br />
can be recycled yet again.<br />
As part of the upcoming PaintExpo, Nelco will present its sustainable,<br />
environmentally friendly process which has been operated<br />
successfully by the company for 22 years and is used by around 800<br />
partner companies for the environmentally safe disposal of used<br />
powder. In recent years, Nelco has been investing heavily in research<br />
and development, using modern presses for testing new formulations<br />
and blends that are expected to expand the scope of application.<br />
„We’re happy to take back all sorts of used powder, including fine<br />
dust, overspray, fresh powder, overdue product, overstocks and cyclone<br />
powder. These can include all common types of powders, such<br />
as epoxy powder, epoxy-polyester, polyester, acrylic and PUR and<br />
we can take them in their original packaging, as a blend or in bulk<br />
bags,“ says Nelde. At PaintExpo <strong>2024</strong>, interested parties are welcome<br />
to visit him and his experts to learn about how to turn their waste<br />
powder into sustainable components in the future.<br />
Powder coatings from plastic bottles<br />
and trend powder coatings Vision 2<strong>03</strong>0<br />
Sherwin-Williams is showcasing an outstanding innovation at PaintExpo<br />
<strong>2024</strong> with its Powdura ECO line of powder coatings. The company<br />
takes plastic bottles (post-consumer rPET) and converts them<br />
into a durable, high-performance polyester resin. Every kilogramme<br />
of Powdura ECO coating contains the equivalent of 35 recycled plastic<br />
bottles and cuts CO2 emissions by one kilogramme. The properties<br />
of Powdura ECO are the same as those of conventional polyester<br />
powder coatings. Powdura ECO coatings are suitable for indoor and<br />
outdoor use. Furthermore, they provide increased flexibility and impact<br />
resistance as well as an outstanding balance of mechanical properties,<br />
excellent colour fastness and solvent resistance. Coatings<br />
created using this method can be adapted to any requirements and<br />
are suitable for certification by third parties such as LEED, GRE<strong>EN</strong>-<br />
GUARD and BIFMA Level.<br />
The company will also be exhibiting its new Vision 2<strong>03</strong>0 powder<br />
coating collection, which expresses the modern Syntha Pulvin style<br />
in four inspiring colour palettes. All 48 coatings meet the requirements<br />
of GSB Florida 3 and Qualicoat Class 2 quality associations.<br />
Inspired by nostalgia and the impact of technology on cities, nature<br />
and community, the colours evoke emotions, define global cultures<br />
and stir the imagination.<br />
