Berlin, 10 Februrary, 2025 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, is pleased to announce its participation in this year’s NATM Convention & Trade Show, organized by the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM). The association represents manufacturers producing light- and medium-duty trailers, suppliers, service providers, trailer dealers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The NATM Convention & Trade Show provides an invaluable opportunity for the trailer industry to convene, network, explore new products, and expand technical expertise. This year, key priorities driving the industry include the search for cost-effective, high-performance alternatives to shot blasting and hot-dip galvanizing and solutions that improve durability, reduce costs, and enhance aesthetics.
MKS’ Atotech addresses these challenges by offering solutions that deliver improved corrosion protection, greater sustainability through lower heat requirements, and comprehensive expertise in the complete corrosion protection process—from plating to treatment. Unlike traditional techniques like shot blasting and hot-dip galvanizing, which can be expensive and visually limited, our solutions are designed to optimize performance, longevity, and appearance while keeping costs in check.
Take advantage of this opportunity to visit us at Booth 1109, West Hall, in the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, where we will showcase our sustainable paint pretreatment solutions. Our industry experts from the paint technology team will also be available for technical discussions, helping attendees explore how MKS’ Atotech’s innovative approaches can meet key industry needs and challenges.
Solutions that we will be showcasing:
UniPrep® ‒ Long life, low temperature degreasing solutions requiring less frequent cleaner make-ups, reducing energy consumption and wastewater treatment burden.
UniPrep® AC ‒ A line of sustainable weld and laser scale near-neutral removal solutions improving part quality and employee safety.
Master Remover® ‒ Sustainable paint removal solutions for various paints from a multitude of metal substrates.
UniCoat® CTR ‒ A single-step zirconium cleaner coater offering improved cleaning and enhanced paint performance.
Interlox® ‒ Zirconium-based, phosphate-free conversion coatings with superior paint adhesion and corrosion resistance for powder coated products.
Zinc flake coatings ‒ A comprehensive portfolio of non-PFAS zinc flake coating processes, including high-performance silver and black basecoats and sophisticated organic and inorganic topcoats.
CP3.0® — An innovative approach, that allows to utilize all three corrosion protection technologies—corrosion-resistant coatings, zinc flake coatings, and paint support technologies—in diverse combinations to achieve new standards in extreme corrosion protection.
