Planting trees – we live environmental protection
We plant trees – as a sustainable measurable action in the battle against climate change and to secure ecological functional relationships. At the same time, it is inspiring motivation for us as employees: if we save nature, we save ourselves!
Because climate change and biodiversity are related to each other, the strongest natural mechanisms of the CO2 cycle can be repaired by the ecosystems themselves! Knowing that each tree binds many kilograms of CO2, and that solutions through nature conservation are safe, tested, immediately implementable and initially superior to technical solutions, we have planted more than 30 trees.
We are convinced that the resilience of nature is not strengthened by compensation payments or by state-imposed levies, but by active climate protection. This requires understanding of nature at all levels, not enforcements. The laws of nature have grown over millions of years and are therefore on the long run much more effective.

High Zinc dust prices: COST SAVINGS!!!
Because of the fact that the Zinc dust price increased about more than 50% during the last months, we would like to present the possibility to save costs by replacing a part of Zinc dust in Zinc rich coatings by micronized MIOX®. Compared with the current Zinc price, which is already above 3 EUR/kg, the cost savings are around 30% with this partial replacement. The facts at a glance are:
- A replacement up to 50% by mass is possible, our recommendation is 30%
- The replacement rate is 1:1
- There is no change in the anti-corrosive performance
- The technical advantages are a better adhesion on the substrate and a reduction of Zinc salt building
- Product recommendations are: MIOX® Micro 30/40/50 for grey applications, MIOX® Micro 20/15/10 for ultrathin reddish applications
Please do not hesitate to contact us (g.kert@kmi.at), if you have some additional questions, we would be happy to assist you; also if you need some samples.
