Pioneering solvent-free systems and efficient material recovery, Cetec sets a benchmark in ESG-focused industrial painting solutions.
Electrostatic powder coating is increasingly recognised as one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible methods for industrial painting. With no need for solvents and zero emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the technology significantly lowers environmental impact, improves air quality, and enhances safety in manufacturing environments. It also eliminates the use of water during both application and cleaning phases, thereby preventing the production of contaminated wastewater.
Thanks to its high material recovery rates and energy-efficient operation, electrostatic powder coating not only meets but often exceeds environmental regulations, contributing to corporate ESG targets and supporting certifications such as ISO 14001.
Companies like Cetec, a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial painting systems, are playing a key role in promoting this sustainable approach. Cetec supplies both manual and automated solutions, designed to boost operational efficiency while minimising ecological impact.
“Electrostatic powder coating technology delivers more than just productivity. It plays a direct role in improving sustainability and workplace safety. By uniting performance with environmental responsibility, it becomes a strategic asset for industry. It’s a clean, safe and effective technology,” commented Eduardo Cernic, Director at Cetec.
Among its key benefits is the ability to recover up to 98% of unused powder through dedicated recovery systems. Cetec has developed equipment such as the Penetec line and the CRT Vortex, specifically engineered to maximise this capability. Beyond reducing waste and emissions, the coatings applied electrostatically offer superior durability and wear resistance, reducing the frequency of repainting and extending product life cycles.
