Powder polyester
DSM has been pioneering powder coatings technology since the 1960s when powder coatings made the first inroad into the market in Western Europe. We continue to lead the market today and have an unrivalled reputation for commitment and consistency.
Using our Bright Science we develop and supply polyester resins for high performance, high quality coatings that are cost effective and energy efficient. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, so the main focus of our innovation is on reducing the environmental impact on our planet. Polyester powder coatings are inherently sustainable. However, we’d like to improve their CO2 footprint even further by lowering curing temperatures, reducing layer thickness and replacing resins and crosslinkers that are harmful to human health and the environment.
DSM’s polyesters for powder coatings are making life brighter in a wide range of markets from automotive and architectural to domestic appliances, furniture, and other industrial applications. Durable coatings formulated with our resins protect and considerably extend the service life of the metal goods, thereby helping the planet. So the contemporary designer furniture you buy will retain its immaculate, aesthetic finish. And you can be sure that you’ll be taking fresh smelling clean laundry from your durable, non-corrosive washing machine for years to come.
Our Bright Science will contribute to a brighter future too. As we continue to make new discoveries in materials science we will create new opportunities for powder coatings to be applied to other substrates such as wood and plastic. For designers that means countless possibilities to create new and exciting products. And for the rest of us that means a brighter living with cleaner, greener products that make a positive contribution to our planet.
