International. Adapta Powder Coatings, a representative company in the manufacture of powder coatings, presents a new bonding technology in response to the increasingly demanding levels of metallized effect finishes.
The latest bonding technologies, the process by which metal-effect pigments are fixed to powder particles, make it possible to increase the percentage of pearlescent or metallic pigments more and to reach finishing levels unthinkable ten years ago.
For Adapta, a company focused on the market of special products and functional paints, the continuous improvement of metallized effect finishes, both in its formulations and in its production processes, has been one of the main strategic commitments.
Currently, according to the company, it has a highly qualified human team for the control and execution of these processes that, together with a strict policy of invariability in the allocation of products to the mixers, allows a great homogeneity in each batch and a very high degree of reproducibility.
According to the company itself, the latest evolutions of the Adapta Bonding System bonding technology, in response to the increasingly demanding levels of metallized effect finishes by some of its most innovative customers, have led it to achieve bonding levels very close to 100%.
The company warns that the achievement of some metallic effects or duplicates of varnishes already developed are incompatible with high levels of adhesion such as glossy finishes or "sparkles", which incorporate large metallic effect particles.
The current trend of the market, where this type of finishes with metallic effect, are increasingly demanded, makes it increasingly common to find proposals for products with a guarantee of gluing.
