DÖRKEN gives PFAS-free updates 18 February 2025

DÖRKEN, a manufacturer of high performance corrosion protection systems, will be presenting its updates on its PFAS-free portfolio this year’s Fastener Fair Global.

The German-based company is addressing the issue of PFAS with its DELTA-PROTEKT® TC 502 GZ topcoat, which features a silver finish – making it ideal for use on numerous metric components and other fasteners. Visitors to Fastener Fair Global can also find out about the results of series trials and projects generated with various PFAS-free prototypes. DÖRKEN will also be presenting the first specification entries with PFAS-free systems. 

As well as this, the company will be presenting its zinc flake systems during the show, to help protect components against external influences and the associated signs of corrosion. Thanks to the modular structure of these systems, additional properties such as friction coefficient requirements or different finishes can be added to a basecoat with a topcoat.

DÖRKEN would also like to extend a special invitation to the information event organised by EIFI (European Industrial Fasteners Institute) on the subject of PFAS on the opening day of the trade fair (25th March) from 16:00 to 19:30 on the exhibition grounds. High-level speakers from the fields of chemistry, users and OEMs will provide insights with regard to the possible PFAS regulation, as well as DÖRKEN presenting the current status of the possible PFAS restriction and the chemical background.
