[nanoPost] Nanomaterials for anti-stick coatings, scratchproof systems, corrosion protection

Company Germany

Company develops materials for high-tech products in the area of anti-stick coatings, scratchproof systems, corrosion protection, nanoceramics and nanopowders and dispersions from inorganic-organic composites and self-organizing structures based on chemical nanotechnology.

The company specializes in developing processes to develop, produce and market multi-functional materials. Depending on customer needs, these materials can be tailor-made to offer almost any property such as transparency, adhesion, abrasion-resistance or corrosion-resistance. They produce 100nm thick nanocoatings which renders surfaces such as tiles and sinks stain and scratch resistant, and markedly easier to clean.

Company takes a material to be coated, applies a layer of adhesive nanoparticles and then adds another layer of non-adhesive nanoparticles, which bind to the first layer. The outermost part of this layer prevents other particles, like dirt and grime, from binding to it.

One customer German bathroom fixture manufacturer, already sells a broad line of products using company's technology. Company-treated toilets, sinks and tubs are practically self-cleaning. Company also sells the technology as a wax coating.
