Sustainability

The RAL Quality Mark (Gütezeichen) of GSK means safety, durability and sustainability to all who think ahead. The RAL Quality Mark (Gütezeichen) RAL-GZ 662 guarantees a tested, flawless, high-quality coating and therefore a futureproof and durable solution for the supply network of drinking water, waste water and gas.

Quality-assured valves and fittings

  • offer excellent corrosion protection and are therefore extremely durable
  • save costs, raw materials and energy due to their durability
  • are economically interesting due to raw material efficiency and resource conservation
  • do not release any solvent emissions during the coating process
  • are up to 100% recyclable

Sustainability in the Context of Corrosion Protection – The Bad Bentheim Test Series

The reliability of water supply systems depends largely on the durability and resistance of their components. In particular, valves and fittings, which are essential elements of every water infrastructure, are under constant stress from water, chemical substances and mechanical loads. To ensure the long-term resistance of these components, corrosion protection plays a central role. In this context, the Bad Bentheim long-term Test Series has set new standards. Read how the Bad Bentheim Test Series has impressively proven that epoxy powder coatings represent an outstanding solution for long-term corrosion protection of valves and fittings, thus significantly contributing to the sustainability of water supply systems.

About the Bad Bentheim Test Series

We are committed to each other and feel a high sense of duty to each member in our industry network

Our sustainability mission

We can change the world if we help each other. Not only by using the quality mark, but by communicating it’s importance and reason of existence. Within our companies as well as to our customers. Are you with us?

We can make a change in the world when we help each other.

We all want to have save drinking water and a healthy environment as a basis for life. Unfortunately,  not all of the world's population has access to clean water. We still have a long way to go, but every step is a step in the right direction. We are proud to be a small part of this journey.

Imagine: You have clean and save drinking water and want to get it from one place to another. No problem, right? You just need to get the transportation right. In a sustainable way. Year after year. This is where high-quality epoxy powder coating comes into play. It extends the service life of the products and prevents corrosion on the products. The worldwide drinking water approval of epoxy coating technology proves that these coatings do not release pollutants into drinking water. For this reason, it is essential to maintain the high quality of epoxy powder coating worldwide.
