Nine chemistries,
one formulation bench.
Each system is chosen for the substrate, the application method and the end environment. We don't sell a one-size-fits-all product line.
PU Systems
Polyurethane systems form the backbone of DPI's range: base coats, top coats and clear coats used across wood, metal, plastic and rubber. PU can be formulated anywhere from a hard, chemical-resistant industrial finish (see DPI Polyurethane Paint for machinery and equipment) to a flexible, high-adhesion soft-touch coating for consumer products like mobile back covers.
N.C. Lacquer
Nitrocellulose lacquer is one of DPI's wood-finish chemistries. It's fast-drying, used where a quick production turnaround on furniture or cabinetry matters more than the highest chemical resistance, and sits alongside PU and melamine types in the Wudfeel interior wood finish line.
Acrylic
Acrylic systems give a durable, colour-stable finish where UV exposure and weathering are a factor, a common requirement for anything that spends time outdoors or under direct light.
Epoxy
Epoxy primers are DPI's answer to corrosion on metal. Gates, railings and fabricated structures get a rust- and corrosion-preventing primer coat before any topcoat goes on. We choose epoxy specifically for its adhesion and chemical resistance on metal substrates, not as a generic base.
Stoving Finishes
Stoving (oven-cured) finishes are baked on rather than air-dried, giving a harder, more durable film for components that go through a controlled cure cycle in production. This is typical for metal hardware and fittings manufactured at scale.
2K Systems
Two-component (2K) systems cure through a chemical reaction between resin and hardener rather than solvent evaporation alone, giving higher durability and chemical resistance than a single-component system. We use it where the end application demands it.
Auto Refinishing
DPI supplies auto refinishing coatings, the paint systems used to refinish or touch up vehicle components and parts, distinct from the OEM factory-line coating process.
Designer & Wood Finishes
DPI Wudfeel exterior and interior wood finishes (PU, melamine and N.C. types) sit alongside DPI Designer Finishes: metallic, pearlescent and textured decorative effects applied across metal, plastic or wood, for products where the finish itself is part of the design.
Specialty Coatings
Primers, pre-treatment chemicals and hardeners: the supporting products that make the main topcoat systems actually adhere and cure correctly on a given substrate. This is the less visible half of a coating job, and it's often where an adhesion problem actually gets solved.
E-Coat / Electrophoretic
SCOPE TO BE CONFIRMEDFive ways a coating
meets its surface.
The application method shapes the formulation. Viscosity, cure time and flow all change depending on how the coating goes on.
Brushing
Manual brush application, used for touch-ups, small production runs, or intricate parts where spray coverage would be wasteful or imprecise.
Roller coating
Roller application for flat or near-flat surfaces at production scale, giving even film thickness across large areas faster than brushing.
Spraying
The most common method for even coverage across complex shapes. Used across most of DPI's automotive, hardware and consumer product work.
Spinning
Centrifugal application used for small, symmetrical parts (caps, knobs, small components) where the part is spun to distribute the coating evenly by centrifugal force.
Calendar coating
Roll-to-roll application for continuous sheet materials. Used for rubber sheets, belts and similar flat, continuous substrates rather than individual parts.
