Berlin, April 17, 2026 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of jmÌìÌùÙÍøInc., is excited to announce its participation at Surface Technology GERMANY 2026, taking place in Stuttgart, Germany from May 5 to 7, 2026.
Surface Technology GERMANY 2026 focuses on the drivers shaping modern surface engineering, with climate? and environmentally friendly processes, resource efficiency, and sustainability taking center stage.
As a leading innovator in advanced coating systems and surface?enhancement technologies, including electroless and electroplating processes, we place sustainability at the core of our development efforts. We are committed to providing products and services that help our customers adapt to ever-stricter environmental regulations. Our sustainable solutions help minimize the environmental impact of coating processes by using less energy, being more efficient, and producing less waste. Our portfolio features Cr(VI)-free, non?PFAS decorative and functional coating solutions, alongside next?generation two?component cleaning systems engineered to perform at exceptionally low temperatures, helping reduce both energy use and carbon emissions. In response to the rising global focus on PFAS, we will also showcase our non?PFAS basecoat and topcoat zinc flake technologies. Additionally, our Compact Membrane Anodes (CMA) for alkaline zinc?nickel electroplating¡ªtogether with the CMA Closed?Loop System¡ªdeliver major advancements in wastewater management by virtually eliminating waste and enabling a fully closed?loop, more sustainable production process.
This year¡¯s highlights are:
Cleaning and pretreatment solutions ¨C Modern Cleaners
UniClean? A101/B201 ¨C Ultra-low temperature emulsifying, immersion soak cleaner system with ultrasonic compatibility that advances oil degradation, extends bath life and excels in conductivity control, suitable for steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and zinc.
UniClean? A102/B301 ?¨C Sustainable, low-temperature cleaning system for ferrous substrate preparation. Delivers medium-alkaline cleaning performance without phosphates, hard chelators, or amines. Versatile cleaning solution for steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, zinc, and other industrial metal substrates.
REACH-compliant solutions for decorative coating
Covertron? 600 ¨C Cr-free pretreatment for plastic metallization suitable for the ABS, ABS/PC, and 2K/3K/ selective materials that are currently produced with Cr(VI)-based processes.
TriChrome? family ¨C Cr(VI)-free decorative chromium processes that expand the choice of colors and designs.
High performance corrosion protection solutions
