How to access this technology
Equipment supplied · exclusivity availableTractive’s own technology, supplied as production equipment together with the process know-how to run it. Because the know-how is ours, exclusive arrangements are available to a customer in a market.
Overview
The Ceramatek process applies high-resolution, photorealistic imagery directly to coated steel and aluminium, with permanent UV-resistant durability and no adhesives or overlays.
The Ceramatek process transforms metal surfaces with photorealistic images that never fade. Using an advanced UV-resistant coating, images maintain clarity and vibrancy even in harsh outdoor environments.
The industrial-grade process eliminates traditional adhesives and overlays, delivering seamless, scratch-resistant finishes directly onto aluminium, steel and stainless steel. It serves construction, memorial, signage, transportation and creative industries seeking cost-effective alternatives to traditional metal finishing methods.
Where it is used
- Garage, roller and sectional doors
- Architectural facades and cladding panels
- Industrial and retail signage
- Memorial plaques
- Automotive and transport panels
- Artistic installations
