MetalSerie Metálica

The finish on our Metálica cabinets features a powder coating made from epoxy-polyester resins. The coating is applied in our painting tunnel using second-generation epoxy bonding powder, polymerised at 200°C. This improves penetration and adhesion, resulting in a more durable finish. The paint process does not emit VOC or polluting gases because it uses a zirconium-based treatment, an element that does not pose a danger to the environment. By contrast, conventional paint tunnels rely on amorphous phosphating, and phosphate is a highly polluting product. The parts are cleaned with water before they are painted, and this water is reused in a closed loop. Any paint not used in the painting process is recovered, thus minimising the amount of paint waste generated. Natural gas is also used as a source of energy rather than oil, to further reduce the environmental impact.
