Economical and Eco-Friendly Single-Coat High-Gloss UV Clear Lacquer The latest development from Berlac is a coloured, high-gloss one-coat UV clear lacquer with an appearance similar to piano lacquer, which is intended as an attractively-priced and highly-resistant alternative to multi-coat piano lacquers
with high covering power. This black pigmented single-coat high-gloss clear lacquer offers a visually appealing alternative which – in combination with a high-gloss black substrate – comes very close to the effect achieved by piano

Lower Drag due to “Sharkskin” Surface The riblet coating system can reduce the surface frictional resistance of large objects such as aircraft, ships, and wind turbines by up to 8 %. This allows the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and costs to be reduced and, in case of wind
turbines, the energy output to be increased. The coating has a microstructured surface which mimics sharkskin. The system consists of a UV-curable, nanoparticle reinforced coating and a roller applicator which automatically applies, structures and cures

E3 - Energy-efficient Electrodeposition Coatings Surely, anodic electrodeposition coating systems baked by 130 degree object temperature exist for more than ten years. But until now, considerable cut-backs with regards to mechanics and corrosion protection had to be accepted. FreiLacke has taken another
step towards energy efficiency by developing a 140-degreesystem. It is not only characterised by a reduction of the baking temperature by 30 degree, but also the corrosion protection data – amongst others – have been considerably improved. Due to this, a
lacquer. It can be applied easily and without waste in an economical and ecofriendly process. Thanks to outstanding resistance to abrasion, scratching and the effects of chemicals, this lacquer system meets the highest demands of the automotive sector in all respects.

the paint/lacquer. It can be readily used for coating 3-dimensional, curved surfaces. The coating can withstand very demanding conditions, for example temperatures of -55 to +70 °C and aggressive UV radiation.

longer load period could have been achieved – what can be demonstrated for example by salt spray testing. But not only can the reduction of the baking temperature lead to savings, also a matching system structure can essentially contribute. In praxis, there are already facilities running in which the anodic EC priming is initially cross-linked at 100 degree and after a following powder-coating both are baked in a topcoat dryer.
