Who invented it?

6.4.2023 Wil - Switzerland, Roth - Germany

The leading manufacturer of innovative powder coatings, IGP Pulvertechnik AG from Switzerland and SCHLENK Metallic Pigments GmbH from Roth in Franconia, Germany, have agreed to intensify their cooperation. The focus of the collaboration will be to identify and exploit the synergies between the two companies' innovative technologies, with the aim of opening up new worlds of effects previously unattainable with powder coatings.

One representative example is the liquid paint look, which is always in demand by architects and for which SCHLENK's patented metal interference pigments make an important contribution. This generation of effect pigments is marketed under the brand name ZENEXO® and was awarded the Bavarian Innovation Award in 2022.

The cooperation was officially launched last week at the SCHLENK booth during the European Coatings Show 2023. The picture shows representatives of the management team of both companies as well as powder-coated facade parts with the innovative liquid paint look.
