QUALISTEELCOAT approval

QUALISTEELCOAT is an international quality label for organically coated steel. Within this quality framework, requirements are defined for process control, coating materials, installations, and pretreatment.

Chemical pretreatment is a critical process step within this framework. It has a direct impact on the performance of the total coating system, including paint adhesion, corrosion resistance, and long term durability in practice.

What is QUALISTEELCOAT?

QUALISTEELCOAT is an international quality organization for coated steel. The organization works with technical specifications, inspections, and approvals to safeguard the quality of coating processes and coating systems.

The specifications include requirements for, among other things:

• installation and process design

• coating materials and coating systems

• end product quality control

• chemical and mechanical pretreatment
