Corrosion attacks pipes, valves, seals and pumps. This leads to maintenance effort, follow-up costs, safety risks and avoidable downtime. With RACKSTAR®, we have developed a high-performance coating solution for demanding industrial environments where protection, reliability and technical resilience are critical.
RACKSTAR®
the smart surface protection
Patented coating system designed for high chemical, thermal and mechanical stress in demanding industrial environments.
RACKSTAR® is a certified, patented, PFAS-free and solvent-free coating system based on a fluorine alloy of PVDF + X. Developed for applications with high demands on durability, process reliability and technical performance, RACKSTAR® provides protection where conventional systems reach their limits. The result is more reliable processes, reduced maintenance requirements and a longer service life of critical components.
