Coating technologies
The two core competences of Bekaert are related to material properties. Through metal transformation we influence the properties of steel such as strength, ductility, fatigue, and shape. With our coating technologies we adjust the surface properties of our materials and hence we provide corrosion protection, improve aesthetic appearance, optimize adhesion, etc.
The combination of the two core competences results in a broad range of high technological products.
- Provides corrosion protection
- Wire passed through molten zinc or zinc-aluminum bath
- Used for wire in exposed environments
- Adds the properties of other metals such as copper or zinc to wire
- Can improve aesthetics or processability
- For superior corrosion protection, conductivity and strength
- Combines the characteristics of two or more metals, such as strength and conductivity
- Plastic coating for aesthetics, anti-corrosion, fatigue and friction resistance
- A wide range of polymers
- Coating thickness from 20 to 500µm
- Aesthetics and anti-corrosion
- Offers a high-gloss, durable finish
- Champagne cork wire and other applications
- Dry coating, either fluidized or electrostatic
- Provides thermoplastic coating for aesthetics and weather-resistance
- Used to protect objects such as welded meshes against corrosion
