About HUELSEMANN Coatings
HUELSEMANN Coatings GmbH is a family-owned company founded in 1905, now in its fourth generation, headquartered in Wuppertal. The company develops and produces high-quality industrial liquid coatings, including 1K and 2K primers, epoxy and PUR topcoats, water-based coatings (ILEXAL), high-solid systems, stoving enamels, drum coatings, PTFE lubricant coatings, as well as effect and specialty coatings such as hammer-finish paint. Core competencies are the two product lines industrial coatings for industrial goods made of metal, plastic, wood and glass, and mini coatings for mass-produced small parts and bulk goods. A specialty is transparent protective coating systems for electroplated finishes on brass, zinc, copper and iron. The coatings are applied by spraying (airless, electrostatic, compressed air), dipping, centrifuging, rolling and drum coating. An in-house R&D department, a development laboratory and testing services (QUV weathering, salt spray testing) complement the offering. The products are exported to over 40 countries worldwide, including to industries such as mechanical engineering, fittings, switchgear, conveyor systems and pump manufacturing.

Coating Systems and Substrates
Industrial Coatings (liquid coating systems)
1K/2K primers, epoxy, PUR, water-based, high-solid and stoving enamels for industrial goods made of metal, plastic, wood and glass.
Mini Coatings (mass-produced small-part coatings)
Drum, dip and spray coatings for mass-produced small parts and bulk goods made of metal, wood, glass and plastic.
1K/2K water-based coatings
Water-based, VOC-compliant coating systems as an environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based coatings.
Drum coatings / 2K protective coatings
Mixed coating systems for the heated coating drum with good mechanical and chemical protection, compliant with EN 71-3.
Zapon lacquer
Fast-drying 1K protective coating against tarnishing of brass, zinc, copper and iron, applicable by dip-spin process.
Stoving clear lacquer
Alkyd resin clear lacquer with higher hardness and elasticity for the medium stoving range.
Topcoat clear lacquer
1K stoving clear lacquer with high scratch and chemical resistance for electroplated substrates.
2K protective coating
Flexible transparent protective coating for temperature-sensitive components, drying at 60–120 °C or at room temperature.
