Expanding expertise and exchanging experiences 24 February 2020

The annual ‘Dörken Days’ once again took place at Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on 28th – 29th November 2019, and saw over 180 experts receive a comprehensive overview of current trends and challenges in corrosion protection.

Once a year Dörken MKS invites customers, market partners and corrosion experts from throughout the value chain to ‘Dörken Days’ and interest was once again great at this year’s event – the 9th to be held. At the beginning of the varied programme the participants received a market overview of the global corrosion protection activities of Dörken MKS and learned about new developments regarding the new seminar programme at ‘The Corrosion College’.

A further focus was the latest quality offensive of Daimler Trucks and the new MBN 10544 specification of Daimler on the subject of coefficients of friction. Insights into coating practice were also delivered, including presentations on the requirements satisfying coating of large components such as car chassis and the use of the colourless lubricant DELTA-LUBE® 50 with self-tapping aluminium screws. In addition, participants also embarked on a journey through time through the ‘evolution of the corrosion test’ and learned the latest regarding audits at Dörken MKS.

“We experienced two highly successful days. The experts participating were able to use the opportunity to network intensively throughout the value chain and interact avidly. We would like to thank the participants for their interest and the speakers for the wonderful, extremely practice relevant presentations,” said Dr Martin Welp, managing director at Dörken MKS.
