Devanét® has concluded an agreement with Coniex to promote their superb range of enamels in the UK. After significant testing in a production environment, not only did these enamels perform above similar compeititors, but the ease of application with both large and detailed areas to colour fill was more than impressive. Colours are pre-mixed and supplied in a range of primary colours, which can then be blended to easily form other colour mixes. Being a two part system, the ratios are easy to follow. We have been colourfilling with enamels for over 5 years and Coniex has been exceptionally easy use and they have produced a range of catalysts from the straight forward to products which have pronounced curvature. With curing rates in 30 minutes possible this makes the problems of air curing issues with winter conditions affecting curing a thing of the past,

 

CONIEX  manufacture their own enamels,  Esmaltex.  They are available in a wide range of colors including opaque, transparent, fluorescent and pearl. Its excellent quality provides a high gloss finish and great resistance to light, impact or abrasion. They also have several types of enamel so that you can adapt it to any piece or surface, be it curved, flat, with edges or that requires greater flexibility.

 

The products in the Esmaltex  range  are the only enamels without  Bisphenol A  (BPA) on the market. The  BPA  is an organic compound present in the majority of products made of plastic and which is associated have many negative effects to the health of living beings, including mismatch endocrine system, cancer or diabetes. You can visit  this post  to know more about it.

 

Enamels that can be applied to curved products are now possible, enamels that are flexible and other enamels including flexible doming resins for promotional gifts, logod keyrings and badges.

 

Coniex enamels are designed for the user, easy to apply, free flowing or thixatropic and even an enamel to help with application of crystals.
