The surface technology sector encounters an array of escalating challenges, mirroring the broader landscape of industries. Pressures intensify from environmental mandates, geopolitical complexities, and the continuous evolution of materials and technologies. These dynamics present a multifaceted terrain for companies to navigate in today's landscape.
Against the backdrop of these challenging circumstances, SurfaceTechnology Germany, taking place from June 4 to 6 at the Messe Stuttgart, emerges as a vital forum. Recognising these hurdles as avenues for growth, the trade fair facilitates close-knit conversations among partners, customers, and industry stakeholders. Attendees will have the chance to delve into current trends and advancements, engaging directly with experts to gain valuable insights.
PFAS in focus
DÖRKEN, renowned for its microlayer corrosion protection systems, returns to SurfaceTechnology Germany this year. As a German supplier, the company will showcase its offerings at booth C26 in hall 1. With over 130 years of expertise in coatings, their knowledgeable team will be on hand to address inquiries. Alongside their zinc flake solutions, which effectively protect diverse components from corrosion, they are also highlighting their commitment to addressing chemical restrictions. Notably, DÖRKEN has been proactively developing PFAS-free products even preceding the proposed ban by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) on perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS).
The DELTA-PROTEKT® TC 502 GZ topcoat with its very narrow coefficient of friction window on bolts and nuts is one of these PFAS-free products. With this innovation, which was presented last year, DÖRKEN has been nominated for the Stuttgart surface technology award “DIE OBERFLÄCHE”, which honours innovative applications and technologies. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony on June 4.
The DÖRKEN team is excited to welcome you and invites you to enjoy a refreshing cold drink at booth C26.
