Waterborne coating materials

The introduction of the VOC guideline meant that the users of paints had to face an enormous challenge: the reduction of solvent emissions. The most obvious solution was to switch to waterborne products, whose solvents consist mainly of water. As long as 35 years ago, GEHOLIT+WIEMER, as a trendsetter and technological leader in the field of waterborne coating materials, accepted the challenge and transferred its development know-how in the field of waterborne coatings from industrial applications to typical corrosion protection. For almost the same period of time we have been cooperating with well-known users like Deutsche Bahn AG and BASF SE, who are particularly convinced of the advantages of our waterborne coating materials.

• Compliance with the VOC guidelines (31.BImSchV/Decopaint guideline)
• Efficient corrosion protection systems approved according to the TL/TP-KOR-Steel Structures regulations
• Can also be used as an innovative hybrid system (combination of waterborne coating materials with solvent-based or high solid coating materials)
• Quick-curing, therefore short processing times
• Excellent processing in factories/shop and on construction sites
• Excellent colour tone and gloss stability
• Very wide compatibility with existing old coatings

High solid coating materials

A further way to reduce the amount of solvents is to use high solid products, which have a solid content of over 75%. Depending on the customer's requirements concerning substrate, corrosion protection and visual impression, GEHOLIT+WIEMER has the right solution.

• Low VOC content of max. 25 %
• Suitable for substrates where optimum surface pre-treatment is not possible
• Compliance with the VOC guidelines (31.BImSchV/Decopaint guideline)
