GSK conserves resources
Water is one of our most important resources. The GSK has set itself the task of protecting this resource. Due to the high quality and high corrosion protection offered by professional epoxy coatings, we ensure a long-lasting use (45+ years) in the water supply.
The GSK-certified components can be used in the highly sensitive area of drinking water supply thanks to the use of modern coating powders.
As the demands on environmental protection are constantly growing in modern times, GSK is also continuing to develop. The technology of modern epoxy powder coating helps to make pipeline networks for drinking water, waste water and gas more environmentally friendly due to durability. Using epoxy powder coatings, corrosion protection is carried out at the highest level so that renovation measures on pipeline systems are only necessary after decades of use.
Modern epoxy powder coatings require far less energy than other processes to protect against corrosion, as the components only neet to be heated to 200°C. GSK member companies rely on automated processes to guarantee a fast throughput process with optimum material utilisation.
This automated working process achieves a material utilisation up to 99% and no environmentally harmful solvents are released.
A product with an epoxy powder coated surface meets the following high requirements:
- Quality-assured valves and fittings offer excellent corrosion protection and are therefore extremely durable.
- They are economically interesting due to raw material efficiency and resource conservation.
- Coating materials meet national drinking water requirements and can be used in sensitive drinking water supply networks.
