Biocoat® for CIRCULAIRSTAAL®!
Together with our partners, we have succeeded in developing a new generation of sustainable steel preservation. BIOCOAT® is the most CO2-efficient coating on the current steel market.
BIOCOAT® is the most environmentally friendly form of steel coating on the market today. This sustainable coating is a replacement alternative to the environmentally harmful wet painting of structures in indoor situations. The coating is low in CO2 and has a low MKI score. BIOCOAT® is therefore fully in line with our company's circular objectives!
Higher quality and longer service life
The BIOCOAT® coating is user-friendly, provides full coverage and is suitable for steel structures in indoor situations where the humidity is no more than 40% (load classes C1 and C2). The coating is also suitable as a primer for a 2-layer preservation system for higher load classes.
BIOCOAT® improves the quality and service life of a steel structure compared to an untreated structure or a steel structure that has been treated with linseed oil. The coating has a protective function during the construction phase, use phase and dismantling phase.
BIOCOAT® is environmentally friendly because it is applied to steel beams with less raw material consumption, energy, transport and waste. In addition, we also have two bio-based variants in our range!

Application of BIOCOAT® preservation
BIOCOAT® preservation is suitable for indoor situations with a maximum humidity of 40% and falls within corrosion classes C1 and C2 (in accordance with current classifications).
Range & preconditions
- Indoors, C1: heated rooms with a clean indoor climate and minimal pollution.
Examples: distribution centres, offices, shops, schools, hotels. - Indoors, C2: unheated or variably conditioned rooms where condensation may occasionally occur.
Examples: warehouses, sports halls.
Important points to note
- Do not use in the presence of aggressive vapours/chemicals or outdoors.
- Ensure a design without stagnant moisture zones (avoid cold bridges) and provide adequate ventilation.
- Follow the project-specific processing instructions (substrate condition dry/clean, correct layer structure and curing) for optimum durability.
Consciously chosen for BIOCOAT®
For the design of our new distribution center, we consciously chose BIOCOAT® for the steel structure.
The off-white finish makes the space visibly larger and lighter, exactly what the design required.
Because the structure remains visible, the sleek, uniform layer provides tranquility and emphasizes the design language.
Aesthetics were important, but equally important were the circular values: biobased, repairable, and traceable.
With a BIOCOAT® preservation, our steel structure received the appearance the design deserves and the sustainability we promise to our users.
