IBA Powder Coatings at PaintExpo 2026: Powder coating for wood-based materials

Truefuze from IBA Powder Coating combines classic powder coating technology with high-precision press curing for the first time. Coating, curing and surface structuring take place simultaneously in less than a minute. The result: maximum process reliability and precise control of gloss level and feel - from ultra-matt to high-gloss - with virtually unlimited decorative embossing and texturing options. The system is characterized by consistently high performance across all colors and gloss levels and offers excellent scratch, chemical and moisture resistance. Depending on the respective formulation, Truefuze also enables extended functionalities, including: antibacterial surfaces according to ISO 22196, food contact conformity according to EU 10/2011, antistatic or electrically conductive properties (EN 61340) as well as - flame retardant and fire tested solutions according to EN 45545-2.
