Anyone treating wastewater from phosphating and cathodic electrocoating (e-coat) knows the typical challenges. High oil and degreasing loads, complex-bound metals, and fluctuating compositions make treatment difficult and drive up chemical, sludge, and cleaning costs.

Our latest case study report shows, based on three real cases from our own lab, how the right reaction separating agents from our Clear product line reliably solve these problems, from a cloudy clear phase to an overflowing press. (...)

Färber & Schmid participated in Surface & Coatings 2026 in Bangkok together with its partner VR3 Chemical Co., Ltd. The exhibition is an important industry platform in Southeast Asia for surface finishing, coating technologies, electroplating, industrial processes and related environmental solutions. (...)

Färber & Schmid is expanding its international distribution network: with INTERCONTI from Brno, we have found an experienced partner in the Czech Republic and Slovakia who will make our products from the areas of wastewater chemistry and specialty cleaners & solvents available to industrial customers on the ground. (...)

High COD levels in wastewater are a costly problem for many industrial businesses. Find out how targeted chemical treatment helps you reliably meet discharge limits.

Chemical oxygen demand, or COD, is one of the most important parameters for assessing the quality of industrial wastewater. It indicates how much oxygen is required to chemically oxidise organic compounds in the water. High COD values indicate a heavy organic load and present a serious challenge across many industries: discharge conditions are not met, regulatory requirements tighten, or the municipal treatment plant reaches its capacity limits. (...)

From May 5 to 7, 2026, Färber & Schmid will be exhibiting at Surface Technology Germany in Stuttgart, one of the leading trade fairs for surface technology and industrial processes.

Our focus is on proven solutions for industrial wastewater treatment as well as expanded capabilities through our new production facilities. With our modern mixing and filling plant, we enhance flexibility, quality and supply reliability. (...)

Färber & Schmid is expanding its international presence by entering into a strategic partnership with VR3 Chemical in Thailand. This collaboration strengt (...)

Wastewater treatment in flexographic printing presents significant challenges for industrial companies. High dye concentrations, constantly changing compositions, and increasing environmental and process safety requirements demand powerful and reliable treatment solutions. Conventional methods often reach their limits, resulting in unstable processes, higher chemical consumption, and insufficient water quality. (...)

Acetone is widely used across many industrial applications due to its strong solvent properties. However, its use is often associated with well known challenges. High flammability, rapid evaporation, strong odor, and increased safety requirements can create additional operational and regulatory burdens.

As a result, replacing acetone with modern solvent solutions has become increasingly important for companies seeking safer, more sustainable, and process efficient alternatives. (...)

The demands on efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment continue to increase. Industrial wastewater treatment plants face stricter discharge limits, rising cost pressure and the need for reliable and stable processes. ZetaPol has been developed precisely to meet these challenges.
With the commissioning of a new state of the art production facility last year, Färber & Schmid AG has taken a major technological step forward. This new plant enables the development and manufacture of innovative powdered flocculants that have not previously been available on the market in this form. (...)

Färber & Schmid AG has commissioned a new facility for the production of powdered flocculants at its Rafz site. With this latest investment of around €1.5 million, the company is sign (...)
