#FocusSustainability

For KANSAI HELIOS, sustainability is not just a promise, but a fundamental principle. As a key player in the chemical industry and a driver of innovation, it is our responsibility to promote sustainability at all levels. That’s why we focus our research and development on sustainable paints and coatings and actively work to reduce our own carbon footprint. At the same time, we support our customers in achieving the optimal balance of ecological and economic goals. For decades, we’ve specialized in industrial coatings, crafting a diverse range of products that additionally to their technical properties directly or indirectly contribute to environmental protection and sustainability across various sectors.

We would be happy to support you on your green transition!
Protective Coatings to extend Service Life

KANSAI HELIOS has been a leader in industrial coatings, offering a wide array of products that play a crucial role in environmental protection and sustainability across diverse sectors.

 

Our anti-corrosion coatings provide enduring protection against corrosion for objects, infrastructures, and products. With our expertise in both liquid and powder coatings, we deliver water-based and high-solid options, as well as super durable coatings and anti-corrosion powders, extending the lifespan of coated surfaces and promoting sustainability.

 

In addition to our standard offerings, we specialize in tailored coating systems for photovoltaic systems, electric motors, wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants, and infrastructure objects, laying the groundwork for sustainability in various industries. Our commitment to sustainable coating techniques is exemplified by our introduction of the first chrome-free coating for transformers, a testament to our dedication to eco-friendly solutions. Additionally, our innovative coating technologies such as cathodic dip coating (CDC) and powder coatings play a pivotal role in promoting sustainability by enabling the reuse of residual paint in production, thus contributing significantly to the circular economy.

Our Focus

  • We operate a global supply chain with a local presence to minimize environmental impact by optimizing operations across our extensive network.
  • We offer environmentally friendly alternatives to standard products using bio-based raw materials to support our customers’ sustainable practices.
  • We promote energy- and resource-efficient application methods by developing innovative coating technologies.

Bio-based Raw Materials

Sustainable alternatives for both wet and powder coatings are increasingly available and sourced from organic or biodegradable materials. Tests demonstrate that these alternatives, such as coating raw materials derived from organic or biodegradable sources, maintain or even optimize efficiency, functionality, and quality.

Recycled Raw Materials

Our “Green Powder” represents a revolutionary powder coating crafted from innovative resins and additives derived from renewable and recycled sources. Nearly 100% of this powder coating can be seamlessly recycled back into the application process.

Energy and resource-saving Coating Systems

Several of our coating technologies facilitate reduced curing temperatures (such as low-temperature powder coatings), quicker curing durations, and consequently, decreased energy consumption. Our coatings are engineered to support resource-efficient production methods and minimize waste generation and environmental footprint.

Let’s pave the way together for a more sustainable future, where paint innovation and responsibility go hand in hand. We would be happy to support you in your ecologically sustainable transformation!
