Industrial coatings perform a wide variety of functions in different applications and contribute to decoration as well. The polymeric binder as the backbone of such coating formulations plays a decisive role. Whether it is the protection of metal against corrosion or the weather resistance of wood: with our water-based polymer technologies, we offer reliable and at the same time environmentally conscious solutions for a wide variety of problems and substrates. Our portfolio includes products based on both anionic and cationic waterborne acrylate or polyurethane dispersions for paper, wood, metal, concrete and plastics.
Appearance, haptics, durability: wood products are subject to the highest demands, which can usually only be met by a high-performance coating. For the formulation of such coatings, Zschimmer & Schwarz offers water-based polymers as universal binders and for special applications, such as stain-blocking primers or matte coatings.
For the sustainable use of metal as a material, a coating is essential to protect it from corrosion. In addition, a metal coating allows for decorative designs. Zschimmer & Schwarz offers specialised aqueous polyurethane (PUD) and acrylic dispersions for use on substrates made of metal or metal alloys, which are used for corrosion protection or chrome-free surface passivation.
Concrete is considered a universal material, but it is only with the appropriate coating that concrete surfaces achieve the resistance and optical properties that make it virtually without alternative in a wide variety of applications. Whether industrial or home application: our water-based polymer technologies help you to develop excellent and at the same time economical formulations for a wide variety of concrete coatings.
We encounter plastics in many areas of daily life in a wide variety of shapes, colours or surface textures. While good formability is an important property of the plastics themselves, the important visual or haptic impression is often significantly influenced by coatings. Our product portfolio offers water-based polymers to realise your formulations, and specialised solutions for a wide variety of plastic substrates and application types.
Paints and varnishes for exterior use place high demands on durability, weather and UV resistance as well as adhesion to various substrates. Discover our water-based acrylic dispersions for use in architectural paints and plasters for example in roof coatings and stucco.
