With this certification, Chemtec reinforces its leadership in industrial finishing, providing customers with innovative, high-performance, and sustainable solutions.
Chemtec, a global leader in industrial finishing technologies, has received the prestigious QUALICOAT certification for its innovative PRONORTEC pretreatment solution. This recognition underscores PRONORTEC’s superior performance
and reliability in aluminium pre-treatment, further solidifying Chemtec’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable surface treatment solutions.
PRONORTEC is an advanced, eco-friendly pre-treatment solution that leverages nanotechnology to outperform traditional phosphating methods, including tricationic and microcrystalline phosphating, particularly zinc phosphating. Unlike conventional treatments, PRONORTEC is a no-rinse technology, significantly reducing chemical usage and environmental impact while enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Using organic phosphorus compounds, PRONORTEC creates a highly hydrophobic and adherent nanometric coating - approximately 50 nanometres thick – thus offering enhanced corrosion resistance and superior paint adhesion. This nanometric structure sets PRONORTEC apart from other nanotechnology solutions available in the market.
The PRONORTEC process forms a uniform coating composed of carbon, phosphorus, and oxygen on treated metal surfaces, delivering:
- High Hydrophobicity: exceptional corrosion resistance, safeguarding metal substrates from environmental damage.
- Optimized Reactivity: enhanced paint adhesion for improved durability and aesthetic quality of coated surfaces.
Applicable to metals that have been degreased, deoxidised and rinsed, PRONORTEC can be applied using various industrial techniques, including spraying, immersion, and nebulization, offering versatility to meet different manufacturing requirements.
Key Advantages of PRONORTEC
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: ensures long-term protection against environmental factors, prolonging the lifespan of aluminium products.
- Exceptional Coating Adhesion: enhances the durability and aesthetic quality of treated surfaces.
- Environmental Sustainability: developed with cutting-edge, eco-friendly technology to minimise the ecological footprint of industrial finishing processes.
- Efficiency & Cost-Effectiveness:
Streamlines pre-treatment processes, reducing production time and operational costs while maintaining high-quality results.
QUALICOAT Certification: A Mark of Excellence
The internationally recognised QUALICOAT certification confirms PRONORTEC’s compliance with the highest industry standards for aluminium coating processes. This milestone highlights Chemtec’s dedication to research, development, and innovation in industrial finishing technologies.
