About DK Coatings
DK Coatings GmbH, headquartered in Bad Zwischenahn, was founded in 1998 and specializes in surface protection. The company, with 15 employees, develops and manufactures coatings, hydrophobizing treatments and optimizing additives, especially for mineral building components such as concrete and fiber cement. The product systems include the DK Coatings concrete system, the fiber cement system and the UV coating system Digital Printing System for digital printing on various surfaces. The range of services covers individual product development from needs analysis and requirement specification through to implementation in the customer's production process. Analysis and consulting are performed on site or via remote analysis. Quality assurance and testing are handled by the company's own laboratory and technical center, which conducts weathering tests, cross-cut and abrasion tests, among others. Together with well-known raw material suppliers, DK Coatings offers customers in five countries a broad portfolio of surface protection.
