Unleashing Innovation in Paints & Coatings

Epoxy-enhanced coatings and paints have revolutionised many sectors, delivering unmatched performance and technical advantages. From construction to shipbuilding, water treatment to home appliances, epoxies are the secret behind increased efficiency and enhanced materials.

An Array of Applications

Epoxy coatings come in various forms, each tailored to specific needs:

1

Primers

2

Anti-corrosive coatings

3

Industrial coatings

4

Topcoats

5

Abrasion-resistant coatings

6

Chemical-resistant coatings (ideal for tanks and flooring)

7

Fire-resistant coatings

8

Heat-resistant coatings (withstand temperatures up to 230ºC)

From Industry to Everyday Life

Epoxies are the cornerstone of industrial applications across diverse sectors.

01

In transport,

they protect and insulate ships, aircraft, and spacecraft, ensuring longevity and resilience.

02

In renewable energy,

they safeguard wind turbine poles and blades and hydroelectric power station structures.

03

In construction,

epoxies reinforce structural parts, engineering adhesives, and paints, guaranteeing durability and reducing the need for frequent repainting.

04

In hygienic flooring,

in shopping malls, hospitals, schools, and more benefits from epoxy coatings, ensuring cleaner environments with enhanced aesthetics.

05

In the food industry,

lining cans and packaging to shield contents from corrosion and preserve flavours. These applications uphold the highest standards of food safety.

06

In our homes,

epoxies work wonders as functional powder coatings on household appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and tumble dryers. These coatings resist chemicals, food acids, pollutants, and harsh conditions, safeguarding devices while enhancing aesthetics. Thanks to epoxy resins, today’s appliances boast an extended service life and maintain their pristine appearance for years.

Did you know?

Construction reigns as the largest end-user sector for epoxy applications in Europe. With a combined turnover of €1,556 billion and 10.5 million jobs, European construction and engineering firms heavily rely on epoxies to replace mechanical fastening. This industry accounts for up to 60,000 tonnes of epoxy resins produced annually by Epoxy Europe members. Epoxy’s impact is undeniable, shaping industries and driving progress across the continent.
