Long UK Track Record

The name ‘Axalta’ is relatively new to the UK fabrication and shotblasting markets. But if we mention our previous names - Protega, Tikkurila, Kemira, Macpherson Heavy Duty - you may recognise that we have been a leading supplier to the UK protective coatings market for many decades.

Technical Support

Our highly experienced technical service personnel can assist with every aspect of your coating operations. Ask about our on-site process audit checks to help you optimise your painting processes.

Wide Product Range

Minimising VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds, or solvents) is an important part of caring for our environment. Government regulations such as SEO have meant the development of ever-lower solvent content in many typical primers and primer/finishes for steelwork. We have a wide range of products to supply the requirements of the fabrication and shotblasting markets.
