From Pain Points to Paint Points – Coatings to a Custom Recipe

Paint manufacturer Mankiewicz will be addressing the pain points of the painting industry at this year's PaintExpo in Karlsruhe. "How can we help you today?" is the slogan with which the long-established company based in Hamburg, Germany is presenting its products and services to visitors at the trade fair. The focus is not on a specific ailment or a technical painting challenge, but on a holistic view of the respective customer processes and the demands of their surfaces.

The exhibition stand interprets the aspects of anamnesis and diagnostics with a wink to the medical profession, with two garden gnomes as unusual patients included.

Seeing Clearly – Anti-Glare Coatings

Being able to focus correctly and see clearly is not only essential for people. It is also a must for optical devices, which are increasingly finding their way into various spheres of our lives.

From microscopes to autonomous driving, they are becoming vital for our increasingly automated world: For cameras and assistance systems to function smoothly and accurately, their housings must be free of stray reflections.

Mankiewicz offers anti-glare coatings for reflection-free surfaces with a portfolio of various levels, to satisfy the requirements and intended use. The two garden gnomes on display, one with a glare-free coating and the other classically coated, illustrate how paint can influence the degree of reflection in different ways.

Chemical Detox – Sustainable Chrome Look

In many areas of application, chrome surfaces are popular as a timeless design element. As a high-quality and elegant alternative to environmentally harmful chrome plating, coatings with a chrome effect also score points with the range of tints they permit.

The costly and toxic chromate process is replaced by an efficient and safe painting process using standard equipment. Lean in terms of production, which is attractive for the end customer.
