Each epx code, for example epx® xxx green, is a type of coating connected to a specific use: non-stick coating for a polyurethane glue fuser, non-stick coating for vulcanization moulds at temperatures of xxx°C xxx bar, non-stick coatings for baking bread with milk in the recipe ref.xxxx, etc.
Each code is associated with a:
- Technical data sheet (TDS) which describes the main chemical and physical characteristics of the coating and its most relevant properties.
- Food-safe certification for the coating, if any.
- Technical specifications, for internal use, containing detailed descriptions of all the steps to be taken when applying the coating.
Thanks to epx®, our clients have access to a wide range of coatings, broadly tested and with records of extensive applications. Give them a try!
