WB Coatings on the world's largest telescope
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT for short) of the European Southern Observatory ESO is considered to be groundbreaking for space exploration. The giant telescope is currently being assembled in Chile, where it is due to go into operation in around five years' time. It will then be the world's largest telescope for visible and infrared light.
For the coating of the steel structure, ESO opted for paints from WB Coatings (a brand of the Mipa Group since 1 January 2023). The biggest challenge in selecting the right paint was to create the deepest possible black, dull matt surface to minimise scattered light and prevent disruption during operation. With a robust epoxy primer, a PU topcoat and the matching clearcoat from WB Coatings, it was possible to fulfil the extensive requirements. Because the construction was carried out by an international consortium, the WB products were supplied to two participating companies in Spain and Italy. The individual steel components were coated there before being delivered to Chile for assembly.
When planning the steel structure, the focus was on keeping the telescope stable under all conditions, including strong winds or earthquakes. The structure must be absolutely stable to keep the components and equipment precisely aligned. At the same time, however, it must be light enough so that the gigantic ELT does not collapse under its own weight.
The ELT will have a ground-breaking optical design with five mirrors, including a huge 39 metre main mirror consisting of 798 hexagonal segments. Another mirror will adaptively adjust and correct distortions caused by air turbulence by changing its shape around a thousand times per second. The telescope is located on Cerro Armazones, a 3046 metre high mountain in the Chilean Atacama Desert. Engineers and craftsmen are currently working there to assemble the structure of the telescope dome. In the meantime, the steel dome has already taken on the round shape, which is typical for telescope domes. The six laser sources, another key component in the ELT's optical system, have now also been manufactured and delivered to ESO for testing. According to ESO, all other systems and components required for the completion of the ELT are also currently making progress in their development or production.
Construction of the ELT began nine years ago with the ground-breaking ceremony in Chile. The remaining 50% of the project is expected to be completed much faster than the construction of the first half of the ELT.
The first light images are expected in 2027.

Information on the Regulation on the Restriction of Diiscocyanates
Dear Sir or Madam,
The European Commission has amended Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation (EC) (new No. 74) with Regulation (EU) 2020/1149, which entered into force on August 24, 2020.
After August 24, 2023, diisocyanates shall not be used industrially or commercially, either as a substance or as a constituent in other substances or mixtures, unless,
- the concentration of diisocyanates individually and in combination is less than 0,1 % by weight or
- the employer or self-employed person ensures that industrial or professional users have successfully completed training on the safe use of diisocyanates prior to using the substance(s) or mixture(s).
In the last months FEYCOLOR has revised the delivery programs of FEYCOLOR and WB-Coatings regarding the fulfillment of the above mentioned point 1. and therefore many products do not require training.
Below you will now find an overview of all products that contain less than 0.1% by weight of diisocyanates.
No training is required for these products!

FEYCOLOR protects the highest carousel in the world
The world's highest carousel was opened last week in the Skyline Park, the largest amusement park in Bavaria. With a height of 142 meters, the “Allgäuflieger” is higher than the Frauenkirche in Munich (99 meters) and almost as high as the Ulm Minster (161 meters). The coating of the carousel was carried out with FEYCOLOR protective coatings. This means that the „Allgäuflieger“ is ideally protected against corrosion and impacts such as wind and weather.
