Plant KTM is licensee of the European Association of Color Anodizing SANDALOR

On March 1, 2017, we received the license of the association of color anodizing SANDALOR (Switzerland) N 217, which allows us to participate in any European projects in the field of color anodizing - the most complicated type of anodizing.

SANDALOR is a certificate of quality of the highest category of complexity in the field of anodizing, because color anodizing is the most complicated type of anodizing.

Today there are only SEVEN valid licenses and only one license in Eastern Europe, it is the license of Plant KTM (2 in Germany, 2 in Austria, 1 in Switzerland, 1 in Spain and now 1 in Belarus)!!!

Thus, we are the only company from the countries of Eastern Europe who could do it!

If anodizing company does not have such license, no serious project will entrust to it.

This license is issued only to those enterprises that have European quality certificate for anodic coatings in architecture QUALANOD. Specialists of the applicant's enterprise must undergo special training in color anodizing, production equipment, control equipment. Anodizing technology of the enterprise must undergo inspection controls (primary and subsequent annual, at least 2 times per year).

All our inspections were carried out in the middle of 2016, the employees were trained in Germany and Switzerland since 2015, the second stage of training took place at our plant in 2016.

But that's not all, for this year the third and fourth stages of education are planned in Belarus and Switzerland-Germany.

Budprogress-2016

The JV "KTM-2000" Ltd. will participate in the forthcoming 24th international specialized building exhibition "Budprogress-2015" that shall take place on 6-9 September 2016 at: Minsk, Pobediteley Ave. 20/2, "Football Manezh".

We will be pleased to answer all your questions concerning the application of anode protective and decorative coatings on aluminium alloy products (elements of claddings of buildings: panels, cassettes, linear panels, finishing accessories, components, profiles, etc.).

You can get advisory assistance and consultations regarding the organization and preparation of new materials production from aluminum, profiles, manufactured using the extrusion technique (pressure casting) and also from sheet material while using the rolling mills.

After the inspection in 2016 we confirmed the quality of applied anodic coating and extended the international quality assurance certificate QUALANOD.

Moreover, we held preparatory works at the enterprise for getting the highest standard licensing in the area of anodizing - Sandalor Interoxyd (color anodizing for architecture) and we expect the Swiss certification inspectors on electroplating in December 2016.

We developed and introduced new technological processes at our factory over the past year and received new color schemes: patinated copper (ArtELOX-II), natural copper, stainless steel and titanium (advanced ClassicELOX technology).

The results of these new technologies and popular and demanded classic methods of anodizing will be showcased at the exhibition.

We are inviting you to visit the stand of the company "KTM-2000" on 6-9 September 2016, located at the site 2B!

You can get E-tickets on the website of organizers:

QUALANOD is considered to be the world-known quality assurance sign in the area of metal anodizing

The regular inspection of QUALANOD standard conformity and compliance was held at our enterprise on 25 May 2016.

The independent expert from the German IFO Institute (Institut fur Oberflachentechnik GmbH) M.Sc. Ang. Felix Dierolf was satisfied with the results of the verification of our manufacturing facility.

The international certificate is recognized worldwide and is treated as the only certificate in the industry confirming high quality of applied anode protective and decorative coating on aluminum alloys.

It is deemed as "de facto standard" for all companies that are involved in anodizing of aluminium elements for the contemporary architecture and construction.

The value of this certificate is very important as quite often customers and consumers do not have the appropriate equipment and expertise allowing them to verify the quality applied electroplating.

The quality assurance sign "Qualanod" ensures that enterprises providing the anodizing services strictly adhere to all technological processes and regulations.

The Qualanod certified inspectors strictly follow the compliance. The independent surveys, without prior notice, are performed from 2 to 5 times a year and in the event of detection of irregularities, the certificate is cancelled.

This certificate is trusted by customers from all over the world!

Imitation of patinated copper on anodized aluminum ArtELOX-II

Why we have chosen to showcase the imitation of copper patina at the exhibition Mosbuild-2016?

Because it is one of the most popular materials and the only thing that stops it from widespread application is its price.

And another very important issue is corrosion resistance.

In the midland (central) Europe where there is no nearby aggressive sea climate, where there is no large manufactures with hazardous air emissions, the copper has been used for a very long time and all of us remember the beautiful roofs of Prague of noble sea-green (aquamarine) color. It is easy to cut and bend the copper, it oxidizes with time and turns from a bright yellow metal into brown and then green. Nowadays, copper is already supplied "green" when it is artificially oxidised in a special manner.

We also can see appearance of copper imitation in the market manufactured by using the method of coloring and most often such staining is made on the basis of a pre-applied powder coating followed by thermal printing (sublimation) of color pigments. It is exactly these pigments that imitate the structure of patinated copper.

The technology owned by us is fundamentally different from those described above as it practically based only on electroplating processes and consequently it has all the advantages inherent to the standard anodizing rather than painting.

And, first of all, this is a natural metallic appearance as the anodizing itself is the application of a semi-transparent layer of aluminum oxide on the surface that acts both as a varnish (lacquer) enhancing the natural shine of the metal.

Secondly, the anodizing is a converted surface layer of aluminum that can't be separated from the base metal. In case of all other of paintwork and electroplating, this layer of foreign material is firmly "glued" to the aluminum base and there is always a possibility of its separation and development of corrosion. This is the same fundamental difference that allows the anodized aluminum to successfully withstand various aggressive environments: sea air, air of large industrial cities, negative impact of any petroleum products and at the same time successfully fights with the graffiti that can be easily removed by special or conventional solvents depending on the paints used by "contemporary artists".

Thirdly, the anodizing increases the surface hardness of aluminum for more than three times from 80-100 HV (units by Vickers method) up to to 350-450 HV that protects the coating from abrasive effect of sand grains contained in the atmosphere without causing the fading of building facades with time that is especially vital for cities located in the steppe and desert regions and also in the regions where there is a lot of dust in the air.

Our new ArtELOX-II technology opens a new chapter in the architecture, allowing progressive architects and designers to implement the most incredible projects from aluminum, starting from the widely spread and popular patinated copper, Corten steel and ending with some fantastic textures that may not even exist in nature.

To visualize our ideas we will prepare a special selection of photographs and images highlighting the trends of the development in modern architecture and some ideas from designers that were shared with us...

New anodic coating ArtELOX-II (Mosbuild 2016, Moscow)

We managed to improve the technology of decorative selective anodizing with chemical engraving ArtELOX-II and at the forthcoming exhibition Mosbuild-2016 in Moscow we will present a completely new coating that has no analogues in the world - ArtELOX-II.

This technology expands greatly the horizons for the application of anodized aluminum allowing architects and designers to use practically any textures of materials simulated by ArtELOX-II on conventional aluminum cassettes at a sufficiently low cost price.

This technology can successfully compete with the Corten steel in the market, patinated copper and many other expensive materials while having higher performance features of corrosion resistance and resistance to UV radiation (solar radiation) that is very essential for using the material on urban streets located not only in the central part of Russia but also in the coastal areas, areas with tropical and arctic climates.

The development of such coating demanded a lot of time from us and assistance of colleagues from Switzerland and Japan.

For example, just two weeks ago another stage of our specialists training ended that brought us much closer to our target and objective.

This stage of training took place at our production facilities where we were hosting a leading specialist in the area of aluminum alloys anodizing, Mr. Olivier Roche. He is a recognized and reputed expert in the area of color anodizing at the Swiss chemical concern Clariant and OMYA.

The training of engineers aimed at constant and continuous process of quality and staff qualification improvement becomes part of a long-term program approved in our company and, namely, of the production modernization program, capacities improvement and application of various electroplating (galvanic) processes.

Refreshing of tree looking coatings on interior profiles (thresholds)

A tree accompanies a man all his life, without a tree many things wouldn't exist in our world...

Every year popularity of interior profiles with wood structure is raising, people prefer natural wood, or most similar coating that looks like wood. Coating that has not only visual but also tactile likeness arouses pleasant sensations of touch.

Strength characteristics are very important in coating selection as well, because interior profile have to be be used for many years and no adversities such as the impact of footwear, detergents, accidental contact with falling objects and even "hard" kids games can prevent this.

Our company is constantly improving decorating coatings in interior profiles (thresholds), we choose only proven European suppliers of raw materials without seeking for cheapness of Asian Countries. We are not simplifying the coating processes and strictly observe technological regulations and quality control.

In January-February of 2016 we have updated the designs of most popular colors, added new colors in "Arctic series".

All products are already in stock and can be ordered:

Quite soon we will launch a new section of our official webpagend

Quite soon we will launch a new section of our official webpage and gradually, we will update the entire website in compliance with the new demonstrated design.

We decided to start with one of our "new" areas and, namely, anodizing of aluminum alloy products for the industrial use.

And despite the crisis and downturn of the economy in our country and in the neighboring countries, the industrial sector in Belarus exists and some Belarusian enterprises can pride themselves in supplying their products worldwide and, strangely enough, it is demanded not only because it is cheap.

Our company is constantly improving decorating coatings in interior profiles (thresholds), we choose only proven European suppliers of raw materials without seeking for cheapness of Asian Countries. We are not simplifying the coating processes and strictly observe technological regulations and quality control.

We are always happy to help our colleagues and demonstrate their products in the best possible light and "color".

You can find images of different variants of color anodizing in the photo gallery (album).

For more information about anodizing of finished and semi-finished products of aluminum alloys as part of the single system of protection against corrosion for the industry you can follow the link below:

Construction Exhibition Swissbau Baumesse Basel

The major construction exhibition Swissbau Baumesse Basel (http://www.swissbau.ch/) has started in the Swiss Basel.

Our partners, the Swiss company Mantel Digital and association of electroplating industry in Switzerland represented by its Vice-President Mr. Hermann Feissli, General Manager of the company "Aloxyd AG" are taking part in this event.

The visitors of the exhibition showed interest in the innovations in the area of digital anodizing of aluminum DigitELOX and options for its application in the architecture.

The provisional agreement was reached for the use of this technology while furnishing the ultramodern complex in Dubai.

During this event several conceptual options for the application of aluminium with digital anodizing was demonstrated.

"Images" on aluminum or rather inside it have all the features of the standard anodized aluminum: they don`t practically leave any scratches; they are not subjected to the destruction from the aggressive environments; they are easily cleaned using the ordinary detergents or solvents and the image ("print") is not damaged.

Thanks to our digital anodizing technology you can apply any texture to the aluminium that is available in the wild nature, imitate any material while preserving all the advantages of the aluminium (lightness, hardness, corrosion resistance and nonflammability).

You can even come up with your own texture that will be totally unique and the digital anodizing technology shall make it almost eternal.

The technology of digital anodizing DigitELOX significantly expands the possibility and potential of using aluminium in architecture and advertising.

The images applied with this method have not only presentable appearance but also create the additional depth of a hologram thanks to their special nanostructure of oxide layer. They refract and reflect the light, causing the inner glow effect.
