Dörken: PFAS-free solutions at SurfaceTechnology Germany 2026

The regulatory requirements for coating systems are growing - and with them the pressure on manufacturers to quickly provide practical alternatives. Dörken is responding to this development with a clear approach: using restrictions as a driver of innovation. And so the focus of the trade fair presentation at SurfaceTechnology Germany is clearly on PFAS-free systems with confirmed market readiness and OEM approvals. Dörken already offers PFAS-free solutions that meet the high requirements of the automotive industry. These include approvals from Volkswagen and Volvo. For example, the topcoat Delta-Protekt TC 502 GZ has been approved in the VW TL 245 Ofl-t647 specification, while Volvo has approved several system combinations in the VCS 5737.41 specification: Delta-Protekt KL 100 or Dörken Base 120 combined with Delta-Protekt TC GZ Silver as well as Dörken Base 120 together with Dörken TOP 500 Black. Further sampling at well-known OEMs, particularly in the automotive and wind industries, is currently underway. The company is thus underlining its innovative strength and its role as a pioneer of sustainable coating technologies and demonstrating that its PFAS-free systems are suitable for industrial use.

Another highlight is Delta-Protekt KL 170 RT - a 1K zinc flake base system that cures at room temperature. The solution is used on wheel bearings and brake discs, among other things, and offers significant advantages in processing: more flexibility, simplified processes and reduced energy requirements, as no curing process in the oven is required. Dörken cordially invites all trade visitors to Stuttgart to find out in person about PFAS-free corrosion protection systems, room temperature curing coating solutions and the latest innovations in the zinc flake segment. The corrosion protection experts from Dörken will be available to visitors to the trade fair for direct exchanges and individual consultations at SurfaceTechnology Germany in Hall 1, Stand C42.
