News - NEA POWDER COATING NEWS

In the past few years, the powder coatings market has been developing in a variety of market spaces with growth and innovation. The main driving force for technological development is the growing demand for sustainable solutions and meeting customer demands for enhanced performance. Powder coatings are viewed as a sustainable option in many industrial coating applications. Environmentally friendly powder coatings are a continuing trend and will become more and more important. Powder coatings have obvious environmental benefits. Their VOC content and carbon footprint are generally far better than those of liquid coatings. In recent years, HELIOS has been intensifying its activities for environmental protection. We developed and designed solutions, which not only protect objects, but also extend their lifetime significantly.

Helios Coatings Italia offers epoxy and hybrid powder coatings, polyester for architecture, superdurable polyester, polyester in economic and industrial quality as well as PVC thermoplastic coatings. Due to the large number of different materials to be processed, the selected manufacturing equipment is of particular importance. For example, some materials are very temperature sensitive. Even in summer in northern Italy the ICM Grinding System allows us a very gentle grinding for temperature critical materials. In addition to decorative and protective powder coatings for application in interior and exterior, we provide the right solution and technical support for market needs. Our powder coatings represent one of the most perspective programs and open up a completely new perception for functional coatings of the future. Depending on the application, a modern coating can be resistant to chemicals, anti-bacterial, conductive, thin-layered, non-slip, textured, metallic, or pearlescent. The number of variations is almost endless. We have perfected the ability to produce common as well as custom-made powder coating solutions in outstanding quality and shortest production times. As already mentioned, 900 different products - require shortest possible cleaning circles. Whenever it comes to cleaning and access to product contacted parts a superior designed grinding system provides essential and tangible advantages.

Plant automation will accompany us in the future. Currently we are working intensively to further upgrade production technologies and safety. NEA recognized the potential to automate powder coating plants when they founded the cooperation "NEA by Niverplast". Employee safety is an important reason for achieving industrial automation. Technologies in the industrial manufacturing change extremely rapidly in order to deliver products faster and create a more flexible production process. The size of our group allows us to draw on a pool of experience and integrate it into our production processes in line with our growth strategy. Best practice learnings, new technologies and optimized processes are steadily entering all our entities and operational fields.
