Coating Systems for Generations
Water-based 2-comp. coating systems
Water is life – and at the same time the source of wefa’s holistic product
philosophy: water-based coating systems on a two-component basis. Our
products are perfect when it comes to meeting very strict requirements
in terms of performance, health and the environment; and they do so at a
consistently high level.
Product quality is naturally not everything. Supporting our customers is just
as important to us. We identify with your challenges, think along the same
lines and ask you questions, and are personally committed to fi nding the
best possible solution. We do this hand in hand with you because successful
customer relationships need at least three components: competence,
experience and passion.

wefa – water-based 2-comp. coating systems
Safety, quality and sustainability are the three
pillars of production at wefa. This enables us to
produce reliable coating systems which can be
used flexibly worldwide, in nearly all industries,
and if desired just in time. Our warehouse
(2000 m2) is often just a logistical stone’s throw
from our customers.

Superior properties distinguish our coatings. wefa has for decades repeatedly set
standards with improved formulas and enhanced product benefi ts, allowing metal and
plastic surfaces to be reliably protected even under extreme conditions. The range of
product benefi ts is just as broad and diverse as the areas in which our customers use our
products. And this has always been the case because wefa coating systems can be used
for a wide range of applications and can be smoothly integrated into practically any
production process.
Our customers’ expectations are rightfully very high because the statutory requirements
and environmental standards of international markets are constantly increasing. And here
we stay ahead of the game: internal control systems and external inspections, audits and
approval certifi cates repeatedly confi rm the high product and workmanship quality of
our coating systems; a consistently good result which also supports the reliability of our
customers’ processes.
Quality has top priority

We are happy to support our industrial customers with individual modifications
to optimise their production processes. The earlier our customer advisers
are actively involved in project planning, the more successful this is. This
enables us to make the right adjustments in due time and contribute to
increased production efficiency.

Brilliant qualityWhether for metals or plastics of any kind,
matt or glossy, with or without effects,
wefa coatings are available in practically
any shade. Our products are authorised
for use in countries including Germany,
Austria and Switzerland and meet strict
environmental standards.
Robust protectionEven under extreme conditions, wefa coating systems retain their colour and gloss stability, provide reliable corrosion protection and
durability under mechanical stress, maximum resistance to chemicals, aerosols and UV rays and are flame-retardant. wefaPolyseal offers
optimal anti-graffiti protection with an easy-to-clean effect.
Multilayer coating systems are essential
for durable, robust surface protection.
With wefaPur, wefaPox, wefaDur and
wefaProtect, we offer you perfectly
matched coating systems, which can
be flexibly combined, from primer to
clear coat.
More than 500 customers in a wide range of industries. Worldwide.
Machines, vehicles and mobile plant
equipment must function reliably
all over the world in a wide range of
deployment situations. Our product
solutions are so high-performan-
ce that in 2015 wefa was the fi rst
manufacturer of industrial liquid
coating systems to be approved by
QIB and Quali Steel Coat.
Whether in large-scale industry, on major construction sites,
in quarries or mines, in ports or off shore, regardless or wind
of weather conditions, even subject to pressure washing, the
mechanical and chemical infl uences to which surfaces are
exposed can be extreme. We off er special corrosion-resistance
coatings which have a proven track record worldwide, even
under extreme climate and deployment conditions such as high
humidity or salty sea air.
Metal and plastic surfaces of all kinds are provided with intensive colour and eff ective protection
by wefa coating systems, even against the most hostile of external infl uences. wefa product quality
complies with the highest standards internationally and often exceeds these. The most important
product features are:

wefa – water-based 2-comp. coating systems
For more than twenty years, wefa has been a certifi ed partner
of Deutsche Bahn and an authorised supplier of the European
railway industry. Besides aesthetic requirements such as
perfect gloss and colour stability, the coatings used also have
to satisfy functional demands and protect the substrate from
mechanical and chemical infl uences. Corrosion protection and
easy cleaning, especially removing graffi ti, are the focus here.
They have to be just as easy to integrate into production
processes, must guarantee excellent workmanship, dry quickly
and be storable without any adverse eff ect on quality. Our
coating systems meet all of these requirements.

The requirements of ren-owned manufacturers such as Bombardier, Siemens, Stadler or Alstom are not only wide-ranging, but also very high.
Everyday life in a kitchen involves chopping, cook-ing, wiping and cleaning, both chemical and me-chanical, all of which wefa coatings can withstand.
Worktops in modern kitchens have to withstand heat, fat splashes, fruit
acids, coffee, tea and red wine stains, as well as bacterial residues.
Even if you clean your work surfaces daily using aggressive chemicals and/or
abrasive cleaning agents, they can still look perfect after many years. wefa
coating systems for the kitchen furniture industry are extremely resistant
and completely free of solvents. They naturally meet the strictest food
safety standards, are odourless and easy to clean with just warm water and
washing-up liquid.

Coatings on military vehicles and mobile equipment have to meet an
extremely long list of requirements. Precisely defi ned IR measurement values
also have to be complied with for the F9 category (three-colour camoufl age
painting used by the German Army).
All traditional product features, such as perfect adhesion or lasting corrosion
protection, naturally also have to be guaranteed here. The coating systems
used also have to be able to reliably resist attacks with chemical weapons, as
well as chemical cleaning agents for decontamination. wefa coating systems
are prepared for this.

Better is always possible – the key is in the details. This is precisely why
our teams take such a close look; in the testing laboratory, in Research &
Development and in quality assurance. They work tirelessly on new solutions,
improvements and cutting-edge coating systems: sometimes in operative
partnerships with renowned raw material suppliers, and always in dialogue
with our customers.
The challenges for Laboratory & Development are varied and interesting.
Complex tests and meticulous analyses such as salt spray tests or graffi ti
removal are all part of day-to-day business. This not only requires profound
knowledge of chemistry and materials science, but above all a great deal of
experience and a high level of precision, and often creativity when it comes
to reproducing “exotic” practical situations or constructing unusual testing
installations in order to meet customers wishes. To date, there has hardly
been a single hurdle which our specialists have not been able to overcome,
not least because with regular trainings they also have the tools to deal with
future challenges.
Latest technologyOur teams are supported by high-
performance measurement equipment
and software which effi ciently process
all important data for them relating
to procurements, audits, formulas,
production, quality control, storage, sales
and logistics.

wefa – water-based 2-comp. coating systems
One step at a timewefa coatings are manufactured in
numerous, fi nely-tuned steps. Incoming
raw materials are (if they pass quality
checks) carefully weighed and mixed
using secret formulas in elaborate
procedures, accompanied by syste-
matic controls of measurement
values and tolerances. This
guarantees the quality of wefa brand
products.
Experience & know-howCoating formulas are made up of
numerous diff erent raw materials
that give the fi nal product its special
characteristics, the extent of their eff ect
depending on their concentration and
combination with other components.
Profound knowledge and many years
of experience are essential for achieving
the desired product characteristics
exactly.
Permanent monitoring All batches are repeatedly checked during the entire process within the scope of our quality management
according to DIN EN ISO 9001. No product leaves our company until its quality has been approved.

wefa’s environmental management in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001 is anchored in its
corporate policy any goes far beyond just compliance with statutory regulations. It regulates
the responsible handling of hazardous substances and wide-ranging requirements relating to
health protection, noise control, air pollution control, environmental protection etc.
Our Environmental Management Offi cer would be happy to provide you more detailed
information on wefa’s environment policy.
At wefa environmental protection is a top priority. As early as the 1980s,
we fi rmly placed our focus on ecological 2-comp. coating systems which
are thinned with tap water and essentially produced without solvents.
Today, wefa coating systems are so harmless to health and friendly to the
environment that we ourselves for the most part only use water to clean
mixing tanks. Some of our coatings are even exempt from special label-
ling in accordance with the German Hazardous Substances Ordinance. All
information regarding content and composition naturally complies fully with
REACH requirements.
Global climate change has further strengthened our resolve to implement
environmentally friendly processes. This is also why we have had our company
certifi ed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001 This ensures that we meet our
responsibility to customers, employees and society in the best possible way and
actively protect nature.
We already ensure the reduction of
environmental impact during pro-
duction by using the latest processes
and having complementary measures
in place, e.g. by avoiding emissions,
reducing waste and sustainably
conserving resources. wefa coa-
tings also increase the customer’s
economic effi ciency by reducing
disposal and follow-up costs.
Improved life cycle assessment, new savings potential
First across the fi nish linewefa is one of top suppliers to leading
rail vehicle manufacturers and is the
world’s first liquid coatings producers
to be approved by QIB and Quali Steel
Coat.
