REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT IN PRODUCTION

Environmentally friendly and process efficient paints represent the current coating market trend. Thus, Ultra-High-Solid Coatings and waterborne coatings, low temperature-cure powder coatings and efficient e-coat systems are the preferred paint systems for manufacturers of heavy machines and equipment. ACE coatings need to meet many quality requirements for different surfaces, for example steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, plastic parts.

Helios provides custom-made coating systems for each producer. They particularly meet higher quality or ecological demands, increase productivity and fulfill other specific needs. Because of our wide range of wet paints, powder coatings and gel coats we are your specialist for perfect color matching between different types of coatings, including gel coats for composites. Helios is one of the leading companies in Europe in monolayer coatings (DTM) solutions. These products increase productivity for almost 50% in comparison to standard 2-layer systems.

Trucks and trailers have high requirements regarding durability and abrasion resistance in actual use. Helios offers advanced coating solutions for the manufacturing and maintenance of medium and heavy-duty trucks, including tank trucks, dump trucks, cranes, and concrete mixer trucks, as well as truck bodies, truck chassis, truck cabins, truck upgrades, and truck trailers. For the outer components of vehicles, different coatings are required, because the surfaces can be made of various materials, e.g. ABS, PP, PE laminate, steel or galvanized steel sheet metal. Following installation, the cab of a truck has to look even and consistent, regardless of the base materials and varnishing technology.
