Oxyplast Belgium NV, the Belgian part of the Canadian Protech – Oxyplast Group, is the first powder coating producer to have succeeded in achieving the Qualicoat label (P-1030 PE40) for its low-curing and degassing powder coating, under the brand name Ag-Kote.

Never before has Qualicoat approval been granted for this type of energy friendly technology that actually cures at 150°C.

Ag-Kote was launched in 2009 following demand from industry for energy saving technology and increases in efficiency. Since its launch, this powder has won several innovation prizes and experienced unparalleled success.

The Qualicoat approval is a significant next step in this success story.

This architectural quality label confirms that Ag-Kote can now be approved for the coating of aluminum profiles.

Protech – Oxyplast is convinced that the trend to continually use lower curing coatings is here to stay. Ag-Kote proves that this doesn’t have to be detrimental to the quality of these innovative and energy friendly powder coatings.
