Company Germany
The company's products are self-organising, ceramic Nanostructures with a size from 10 Nm, forming a seal to the surface.
The coated surface is characterised by a very high ability to reject water, oil or dirt (Easy-to-Clean effect) The sealed surface is highly resistant against acids or cleaning products.
The coating will build an UV-light stable, mechanically very resistant but still breathable transparent surface.
The coated areas are resistant against high-pressure (60 bar) and temperatures up to 450 °C.
Application
* Easy-to-Clean coatings for metals, glass, ceramics, stone, textile and plastics
* Anti-Graffity for stone and mineral surfaces
* Corrosion protection for metals
* Anti-Fingerprint Coatings for metallic surfaces
* Scratch resistant surfaces for plasics and polymeric substrates
* hydro- and oleophobic, breethable coatings for stone and mineral surfaces
Easy-to-clean surfaces
Principle
Minimisation of free surface energy by chemical nanotechnology
Self organising antiadhesion groups
Product properties
Suited for metal, glass, ceramic, stone and plastic surfaces
Simple application e.g. by spraying and room temperature or thermal curing
Transperent, good adhesion on the substate without difficult pretreatment
Low free surface energy: < 24 mN/m 2 contact angle about 60° against hexadecane
Anti-stick- and easy-to-clean- properties, additionally with corrosion protection (for metals)
Durable, inert surface protection with good mechancal and chemical stability, for plastic materials: scratch and abrasion resistance comparable with mineral glass possible
Additionally antibacterial (bioizide) properties or protection against moss-, fungus and alga growth possible
Effect
Durable hydro and oleophobicity, meaning water and organc liquids perl off easily
Anti-stick properties: leading to less staining and easy-cleaning-effect
