Specialist Coating FAQ's

  • 1. How do I compare the costs of specialist coating systems?

    It is important to consider many other factors besides just the price per litre/kg. 


    Does the product require an activator or hardener? How many coats are required to achieve the necessary durability and/or finish quality? What will it cost to dispose of any waste? What application/drying/curing facilities are required? 


    Make sure you assess the cost of the whole coating process, not just the direct material price. 

  • 2. Which specialist coatings give the best performance?

    Wherever possible, evaluate coating options according to the relevant industry standards such as BS476 Pt 2 or the Euro Classes for Fire Retardant systems. 


    It is critical to ensure that the coatings are approved for use for the substrate and purpose you require. 

  • 3. What are the common specialist coating problems?

    This is a broad consideration in this sector as there is such a wide range of coatings and substrates. 


    Pay good attention to the relevant surface preparation, film thickness and drying process advice given on the coating data sheet for optimum results.

  • 4. How easy is it to move to water-based coatings?

    Most industries are moving towards more user-friendly and sustainable coatings and there are water-based options for most substrates and environments. 


    There are a number of factors to consider but it doesn’t need to feel daunting as Kortec have the experience to support our clients through this process. A basic spray equipment changeover process can be found here WB to SB Instructions.

  • 5. What is your typical lead time?

    Our broad stock holding enables us to typically deliver goods ordered in 1-2 days. However, non-standard products may take 3-5 days to order and ship to you.

The Foundation & We Provide The Flawless Finish

The KolorteqTM process enables accurate and consistent reproduction of standard and bespoke colours. This is vital for batch-to-batch consistency optimising client satisfaction and minimising remedial works.


Every colour/batch produced is checked against the respective control sample. These strict procedures have enabled us to achieve a client colour batch rejection rate of less than 1 in 2500.
