Berlin, 6 September, 2024 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, will participate in the EBRATS 2024, a three-day exhibition and conference at the São Paulo Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, São Paulo, Brazil, at booth 136 The event will be held on September 11‒14.
EBRATS (Exposição Brasileira de Tratamentos de Superfície) is Latin America’s premier event for the surface finishing industry, held every two years over four dynamic days. As the most extensive showcase and forum in the region, EBRATS is renowned for its comprehensive display of cutting-edge products, innovations, and industry trends.
Organized by IEG in collaboration with ABTS – the Brazilian Association of Surface Treatments – EBRATS offers a diverse range of product launches and in-depth content tailored to the needs of the market.
As a leading developer of cutting-edge process and manufacturing technologies for advanced surface finishing, MKS’ Atotech will feature its latest sustainable coating technologies at the upcoming EBRATS. These innovative solutions, including Cr(VI)-free and non-PFAS coatings, are designed to meet stringent environmental regulations by reducing energy use, waste, and emissions, thereby offering significant cost savings and environmental benefits to the industries. We will also showcase advanced two-component cleaning solutions that operate efficiently at low temperatures, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Our non-PFAS zinc flake base and topcoats provide a seamless transition for industries, seeking environmentally friendly coatings.
