Metal Rims in any colour
How come Vlukon Rims have such a long lifetime?
Together with our powder coat supplier, we tested numerous paint methods. Over 30 years Vlukon has developed unique processes of pre-treatment and coating, which guaranteed the highest quality paint on our rims.
Why is powder coating preferred over wet paint or zinc electroplating (electrogalvanization)?
Powder coating gives a superior hardness, durability and long protection against corrosion and creates an esthetic and decorative high finish look of the product.
After the process of degreasing, phosphating, washing and drying the rims, the coating is applied as a dry powder. Because an electrostatically current in the line, it sticks to the metal rims and transported to the oven. The curing process heats the dry powder allowing it to flow and form a tough, solid film.
Applying coating powder
Result: long-lasting corrosion protection even in the hardest acid and ammonia environments, like farms.

Our ambition is to have the longest lifetime powder coating.
To ensure optimal lifetime of our rims Vlukon B.V. has for many years used a very modern method of corrosion protection finish painting and application by means of a powder coating process.
Powder coating Process:
Degreasing -> Phosphating -> Washing ->Drying -> Powdering -> Harden in oven.
We really stick it to our rims:
