Kluthe at PaintExpo 2024: Innovative products and process expertise

As an exhibitor at PaintExpo 2024, Chemische Werke Kluthe GmbH will be presenting its resource-efficient Decorrdal thin-film technology, Nikutex/Cyclosol rinsing media and sustainable Controx paint strippers, among other products.
Kluthe will be presenting its Decorrdal thin-film technology at PaintExpo 2024. The technology sets standards in the pretreatment industry: it is the key to designing environmentally conscious and sustainable pretreatment. Customers rely on Kluthe's proven expertise in pretreatment and support in achieving sustainability goals. The environmentally friendly thin film technology offers cost-effective, phosphate-free zirconium-based processes that replace conventional iron phosphating and zinc phosphating. It produces extremely thin, high-quality oxide and zirconium/titanium coatings on iron, zinc and aluminum substrates. Thin-film processes are already being used successfully in industries such as the automotive and agricultural machinery industries, both for passivation purposes and for optimum paint pre-treatment. The Decorrdal 900 and Decorrdal 600 series reduce chemical usage, energy consumption and operating costs.
Products such as Cyclosol, a rinsing medium that is characterized by its efficient circulation and recycling options, actively contribute to the reduction of waste and wastage of resources. In addition, Kluthe offers Nikutex, a water-based cleaning agent that is not only economical but also significantly reduces the environmental impact. The sustainable Controx paint removers are another pillar of Kluthe's commitment, as they are VOC-free and can be used sparingly, which contributes to a significant reduction in harmful emissions. As a globally active family business, Kluthe stands for customized, innovative products and comprehensive process expertise in all aspects of surface treatment. Chemische Werke Kluthe can be found at PaintExpo 2024 in Hall 3, Stand 3146.
