Current voices of those shaping the future
Our modern water-based lacquers have now achieved a high level of quality. There are now sustainable alternatives for each application involving interior fittings. Many of our customers have realised this. Here are a few examples from people who talk freely about their transformation experiences.
Both proprietors as well as lacquering operatives and planners report in detail about hurdles and successes with the introduction of Hydro lacquer into their companies.

Step by step transformation
Sustainability in industry
Efficiently into the future
Legal provisions mean that industrial lacquer processors in Germany have for years had to verify their solvent consumption. Self-interest in VOC reduction is therefore very high in this sector. The incentive for industrial companies varies greatly in international comparison depending on the legislation in individual countries.
A transformation to greater sustainability doesn’t need to consume a lot of time and money; here are just two examples of this.
VOC content reduced by 79 %
Within 4 weeks
Switching to HYDRO-UV lacquer enabled the yacht-builder to reduce the VOC content of its spray application by 79 per cent within a month. It therefore succeeded in reducing its VOC emissions from production in 2021 by around 17,000 litres compared to 2020.
