What we do
Enamelling is an industrial process which provides a surface with an enamel coating (based on borosilicate). This coating has protective, water-repellent, anti-abrasion, and hygienic properties.
Enamelling may be applied to the most diversified range of products, among others for coating the internal components of household appliances such as built-in ovens or free-standing kitchens (M.O.C.A. certified).
Metal enamelling is particularly recommended for outdoor environments as it resists to atmospheric agents (particularly salt) and proves the lowest possible bacterial proliferation.
Enamelling is different from painting as it fuses with the metal and changes its chemical and physical properties. In other words, enamelling produces a brand-new workpiece which benefits from both the properties of the original metal (solidity and non-deformability), as well as the properties of the enamel (hygiene, resistance to oxidation, high temperatures and abrasion).
The ideal support for enamelling is a decarburised metal sheet (EK for traditional enamelling, ED for direct enamelling) (i.e. a metal sheet with low carbon content).
