Synthatec is only available via our network of Approved Applicators and In-House Users. Each of the Approved Applicators and In-House Users has to pass a rigorous testing procedure to gain Approved Applicator status.

• All Approved Applicators and In-House Users must hold ISO9001 Approval
• Each potential applicator must pass a 12-week program of testing designed to ensure that Quality of Pretreatment, surface appearance, colour, gloss, curing, corrosion resistance and adhesion to substrate all meet our BS6496 and our own criteria
• Examples of the potential applicators previous work are examined for quality and durability
• A full audit of the potential applicators process and quality management systems is carried out by independent inspectors.

Following approval, each Approved Applicator and In-House User is audited at regular intervals by independent inspectors to ensure continued compliance with the requirements laid out in the Synthatec Technical Manual.

The difference between an Approved Applicator and an In-House User
An In-House User only applies Synthatec to products it manufactures or fabricates, ie glazing systems, curtain walling, etc. Approved Applicators do not manufacture products - they are specialist powder coaters who apply coatings to components supplied to them.
