PETER / LACKE offers an extensive range of water-based coatings. Waterborne coatings are environmentally friendly in terms of emissions and are being developed as an alternative to solvent-based coatings because a part of organic solvents is replaced by water. The binders in water based paint systems are divided into water soluble and water dilutable systems. These categories form the basis for our water-dilutable coating systems in specific markets.

At PETER / LACKE, waterborne coatings are available as adhesion promoters, primers, fillers, topcoats and effect coatings for automotive, electronics, lifestyle and glass across all industries. Our goal is to provide economical and ecological coating systems for these markets.

The PETER / LACKE range of UV-based coatings can be used in a wide variety of areas and industries. Among other things, UV coatings are used as primers for furniture parts, in the automotive industry and generally for surfaces such as plastic and glass substrates. The curing time is only a few seconds so that process sequences can be accelerated and made more efficient. In addition, UV-cured surfaces are durable, abrasion and scratch resistant.
