Plascoat Systems Ltd

Plascoat Systems Ltd manufactures thermoplastic coating powders specifically for metal protection applications. The company is part of Axalta Coating Systems, which describes itself as the world's leading supplier of thermoplastic powder coatings. Their portfolio includes products like Plascoat PPA 571, Abcite, and Talisman designed for various anticorrosion projects.

The company offers Plascoat PPA 571 as a universal solution, Abcite for demanding environments, and Talisman for the appliance market. They also provide Plascoat PPA 742 primer, which is designed to be overcoated with Alesta topcoat even on parts with strong thermal mass differences or sharp edges.

According to their website, thermoplastic coatings are functional rather than just decorative. They are characterized by being a one-layer system, thick film starting from 300 µm, flexible, extremely tough, resilient to mechanical and chemical stress, having a warm touch, and being environmentally responsible with no VOCs.

Their products are used to coat domestic white goods like refrigerator shelves and freezer trays, metal fences including chain link and ornamental types, and battery boxes. They are also applied to handrails, oil and gas pipelines, wirework items, and structural metalwork such as rebar mesh and girders.

The company highlights Abcite® 2060, which utilizes Flame Spray Technology. This is the only system that can apply powders on site without needing a coating line, depositing semi-molten polymer particles onto a heated surface to fuse into a cohesive coating.

Customers are told they can expect excellent corrosion protection in demanding environments, long-term savings on maintenance costs, and lower material costs. The coatings also allow for more effective and faster coating production lines while minimizing environmental impact.

Several reviewers highlight the top-notch quality of the products and the excellent service provided. They frequently mention that the team is professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to go above and beyond to meet customer needs, often describing the experience as highly recommended.
