Salchi has a long tradition as a pioneer of research into UV coatings, with a particular focus on colored UV coatings. Indeed, in 1986, Salchi introduced "Aton", the market’s first range of colored UV coatings for curtain-coater application, which went on to revolutionize the wood coatings industry.

Over the years, Salchi's continuous research into cutting-edge technical solutions and its collaborations with leaders in the coating systems industry have allowed it to produce both transparent and pigmented UV coatings that cater effectively to the industrial coating requirements of manufacturers of a wide range of products (cabinet doors, doors, profiles, frames, etc.).
