Surface Protection
Perfectly Resistant!
What could be better than a product that captivates your customers with look, feel, and functionality? How about longevity, durability, and sustainability, achieved with our surface finishing as well. This, too, can be achieved with our surface finishing. We use special coating formulations to increase the resistance performance of products. Individual surface specifications can be created for each substrate to ensure the best possible protection.
- Abrasion resistance, UV and corrosion protection, durability, resistance to chemicals, reflective properties, protection against emulsions and even insects
- For indoor applications: Protection against moisture in wet rooms, heat and lipids in kitchens, scratches, shocks, impact damage, etc.
- For outdoor applications: Protection against exhaust gasses, wind and weather, temperature fluctuations, UV, etc.
- Extra hygiene protection with KURZ BIOFENSE®
Sustainable Surface Finishing
Designed with Sustainability in Mind, and Committed to Sustainability
Reducing the carbon footprint, closed-loop economy, Lifecycle Thinking: Behind these somewhat abstract terms is a very specific desire - for our blue planet to remain a green earth. All our concepts and processes pursue this by, for instance, using direct product finishing instead of leaving foil on the substrate, and minimizing coating quantities without compromising on consistent quality. These are just two of many examples that reflect our long-term commitment to the environment and society.
