Bonding - Equal to Any Challenge

The Benda-Lutz bonding process is known worldwide as the best and most reliable method for the production of high quality and perfectly processable metallic powder coatings. This process, which is continually being further developed, guarantees users problem-free processability even with extremely challenging color tones and designs.

This is, naturally, only possible due to our close and open collaboration with all of the well known manufacturers which put their trust in Benda-Lutz. The bonding process can be explained by means of a simple illustration. The fine metal pigments are bonded with the coarser powder coating particles (see picture). With this proven principle, properties are achieved which are otherwise only known in conventional powder coatings.

Therefore, you can confidently depend on the best bonding process and also the most experienced team: Benda-Lutz.
