Our company, PULVERIT, is specialized in the development, manufacturing and sale of thermosetting powder coating since 1973. Our extensive experience and constantly search for innovative products and new applications has enable us to be leaders in the powder coating sector in Italy. Our main product lines comprise epoxy, epoxy-polyester, polyester and polyurethane powder coatings for general metal finishing, architectural applications, household appliances and industrial vehicles.
PulverCoat is an innovative project with the objective of industrializing a powder coating curing at low temperatures (110ºC-130ºC) for short curing times, enabling the use of powder coatings on heat sensitive substrates (like wood and plastic) and yielding important energy savings for our customers. Furthermore, our coating has excellent outdoor resistance, anti-scratching and anti-graffiti properties.
In order to confirm the feasibility of our project, we, PULVERIT, have carried out a 4-month study focusing our efforts on 3 main areas:
In order to confirm the feasibility of our project, we, PULVERIT, have carried out a 4-month study focusing our effort on 3 main areas. Technically, we have reviewed the specifications of Pulvercoat and defined a set of tests, parameters and target values that will be used during Phase 2 execution. We have improved the viscosity of the polyamide resin and defined the optimal mixing, extruding and milling parameters. We have also prepared a complete Execution Plan for the development of PulverCoat products, including planning, organization, risk analysis and budget. Commercially, we have assessed the existing and new targeted markets, including the competition, to consolidate our marketing strategy. A technology watch and patent search has been performed to ensure our Freedom-to-Operate. Finally, on the economic side, financial forecasts, based on the marketing and price policy, have been drafted to evaluate on a 5-year-projection.
