About CENARIS
CENARIS GmbH, headquartered in Bremen, was founded in 2013 by Michael Hauptstock and within a few years has become one of the leading suppliers of powder coatings in Germany. The company develops and distributes powder coating systems based on epoxy resin, epoxy/polyester resin, polyester resin and polyurethane resin – from epoxy primers for high corrosion protection requirements to polyester façade qualities and Super Durable systems through to polyurethane powder coatings with anti-graffiti, anti-poster and anti-slip properties. The products are designed for substrates made of steel, galvanized steel and aluminium and are used, among other things, in shipbuilding, structural steelwork, agricultural and construction machinery, household appliances, furniture, lighting, urban street furniture and wind turbines. CENARIS operates a powder coating warehouse, a powder coating line for sample coatings and a laboratory for application technology and customer testing in Bremen. It supplies Germany and neighbouring countries, with delivery usually on the next working day for orders placed by 15:00.

Binders and Coating Systems
Epoxy resin (MEGAPOX® Series 100, MEGAPRIMER® EP Series 110)
Epoxy resin powder coatings for functional interior applications with high chemical resistance as well as primers for high corrosion protection requirements on steel, galvanized steel and aluminium.
Epoxy/polyester resin (MEGAMIX® Series 120)
Systems for interior use with very good mechanical properties, high chemical resistance, good scratch resistance as well as metallic and conductive variants.
Polyester resin (MEGAPOL® I/F Series 130/140, N-CURE 141)
Marking-free systems for outdoor use with very good weather stability, façade quality, low-cure processing from 150–160 °C and suitability for galvanized substrates.
Polyester resin Super Durable (MEGAPOL® F SD Series 150/151)
Super Durable quality with excellent weather stability, suitable for metal façades and combination with wet paints on the same object.
Polyurethane resin (MEGATANE® AGF Series 160)
Powder coatings with very good anti-graffiti effect, excellent scratch resistance and surface hardness for urban street furniture, traffic light systems and aluminium wheels.
Degassing additive (amide-modified polyethylene wax)
Additive that prevents the coating surface from closing too quickly during the curing process and is used for galvanized substrates.
Steel (substrate)
Substrate for epoxy primers and corrosion protection systems in shipbuilding, structural steelwork and mechanical engineering.
Galvanized steel (substrate)
Substrate that can be coated with suitable polyester systems thanks to the included degassing additive.
Aluminium (substrate)
Substrate, for example for aluminium wheels and metal façades with polyurethane and polyester systems.
