A PFAS-free future? Already a reality at NOF Metal Coatings Group

At NOF METAL COATINGS GROUP, a PFAS-free future has already been a reality for Many Years, thanks to our existing coating solutions.

 

While discussions in Europe on a potential broad PFAS restriction under the REACh regulation for coatings seem to be progressing slowly, we are Already Ready to Comply!

 

How?

 

✔️ By offering proven, high-performance solutions:

 

GEOMET® 321, GEOMET® 430, GEOMET® 360 Zinc Flake basecoats, along with many water-based topcoats such as PLUS™, PLUS 10™, PLUS M™, GEOKOTE® WL, GEOKOTE® Black WL and TOPERF®, are already PFAS-free. They offer excellent performance in terms of corrosion protection, chemical resistance, and stable, controlled friction.

 

💬 “We are taking steps today to ensure a solid foundation for all our GEOMET® License Applicators and Customers in order to minimize risks and avoid disruptive changes in the future.”

 

✔️ By continuing to innovate with new PFAS-free solutions:

 

  • EXOMET™ 100: a sprayable technology providing sacrificial protection and UV resistance, curing at low temperatures (70°C-120°C).

 

  • GEOMET® LT: a low-VOC basecoat offering high corrosion protection and ductility at low curing temperature.

 

  • PLUS VLh™ 2 Silver/Black, PLUS ML™ 2 Silver/Black, PLUS XL™ 2 Silver/Black…: A new generation of PFAS-free topcoats designed to target friction efficiency.

 

What do you think the future of coatings will look like?
With or without PFAS?
