Powder Coating with Oxsilan
Oxsilan was introduced to the UK as an alternative powder coating pre-treatment in 2006.
The introduction of the new Oxsilan technology was driven by factors such as increased environmental awareness, the need to reduce CO2 emissions, new legislation and increasing costs of raw materials. Leading metal fabricators like KMF are adopting the new pre-treatment technology for their powder coating process.
