In line with the current market situation, Dörken brought its expertise in PFAS-free solutions to Surface Technology Germany 2024. The ECHA's planned PFAS ban was a concern for many people who came by the stand. Dörken already has PFAS-free products in its portfolio, for example the hybrid topcoat Delta-Protekt TC 502 GZ. Thanks to the very narrow friction coefficient window, the silver topcoat is ideal for metric components such as screws or nuts. Dörken was nominated for the Stuttgart surface technology prize 'Die Oberfläche' with this innovation and came fifth.
Properties of zinc flake coatings
In addition to the topic of chemical restrictions, Dörken's expertise in the field of zinc flake coatings was also in demand. Visitors to the stand were not only interested in the high-quality corrosion protection, but also in the diverse multifunctional properties that can be achieved with such a solution. The possibility of phasing out combustion engines and e-mobility in general also provided plenty to talk about.
