Contecolor, with over fifty years of experience in formulating and manufacturing paints, is a trusted partner for companies operating in the sporting goods industry. In this sector, where use is intense and environmental conditions are often extreme (such as high humidity or water sports), it is essential that finishes ensure not only an attractive aesthetic, but also superior protection and long-lasting durability.
We develop industrial paints specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Our offering includes paints for plastic, metal, and glass, with a particular focus on technical and composite materials.
High-performance paints for plastics, metals, and composites
Modern sports products, from ski boot components to cycling gear, require paints that adhere perfectly to a variety of complex materials. Our solutions are ideal for lightweight metals, plastics, and composite materials.
We provide paints designed for products made of:
- ABS, PU, polystyrene, nylon, and many others
- Metals and alloys
These paints are designed to adapt to, protect, or decorate any type of material, maintaining their aesthetic and functional characteristics over time.
Functional protection: resistance in hostile environments
In the world of sports, durability is crucial. Our paints act as a true protective shield, ensuring objects remain in perfect condition despite intense use.
A key focus is resistance to rust and corrosion. The high-quality industrial paints developed by Contecolor create a protective barrier that prevents the formation of rust and corrosion, an essential requirement in hostile environments or in water sports, where high humidity is present. Furthermore, our metal finishes are specifically designed to ensure maximum adhesion and increase the product’s technical performance.
Unlimited customization: the tailor-made color
Our strength lies in our ability to create custom paints in every aspect, built from scratch around the client’s specific needs. This service ensures that the desired aesthetic perfectly matches the technical and performance requirements of the sports industry.
We offer a wide range of colors and customization options. We can develop both shades from the main reference charts (RAL, NCS, and Pantone) and completely new colors. Furthermore, each enamel created will have its own dedicated code, ensuring product replicability and traceability over time. Our efficient research and development laboratory supports clients from the analysis phase to translate their needs into top-notch technical solutions for various sports sectors, such as:
Industrial paint for cycling
The cycling industry, which ranges from bicycles to protective helmets and components, requires finishes that combine lightness, aerodynamic resistance, and extreme durability. We use paints for various plastics (such as ABS, PU, and nylon), ideal for ensuring durability and longevity on frames, handlebars, and protective shells.
Our customized cycling solutions ensure that the finish maintains its integrity even under mechanical stress and adverse weather conditions, typical of long rides or competitions. The wide range of customizable colors is perfect for branding and creating unique frame designs.
Industrial paint for skis
In the ski and winter sports industry, products are exposed to harsh climate conditions, including low temperatures and high altitudes. Items such as ski goggles, boots, and their components require paints that guarantee high resistance.
We develop treatments for steel and plastics that offer resistance to extreme climate conditions, protecting materials from humidity and daily wear. Our formulations are designed for application on technical plastics (such as ABS and PU) and lightweight metals, ensuring that the quality aesthetic appearance lasts over time.
Industrial paint for tennis
Tennis accessories and sports equipment, such as rackets, shoes, and technical details, are subject to severe abrasion and wear. For these items, often made of plastic, fibrous materials, or lightweight metals, Contecolor’s industrial paints offer a solution to preserve them despite heavy use.
Thanks to our experience in formulating paints for plastics and metals, we develop products that guarantee scratch and abrasion resistance, as well as providing the desired aesthetic appearance, essential for sports equipment as well.
Industrial paint for sports eyewear
The eyewear industry (including protective eyewear and goggles for sports) is a demanding sector in terms of quality, innovation, and safety. Coatings in this field are essential for the creation of designer frames and high-end fashion accessories.
Finishes must ensure a striking visual impact and seamless integration with the materials, ensuring adhesion to both metallic and plastic materials. For this sector, Contecolor has developed specific solutions such as the F140FF coating, a single-component, transparent, glossy product distinguished by its high gloss and resistance to scratches and abrasions.
The F140FF coating is an example of conscious innovation, being formaldehyde-free, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. Its performance is certified: the coating has passed rigorous tests, including the ISO 12870:2016 standard for sweat resistance and the nickel release test (UNI EN 16128:2015), essential for accessories that come into direct contact with the skin. Choosing specialized paints guarantees uniqueness, durability, and environmental sustainability to the final product.
