Nanocoatings

what is nanocoating?

Nanocoating is a process during which nanostructures are applied to surfaces for the purpose of sealing them on a nanoscopic scale, which means a coating layer thickness in between 1-100 nanometers. During this process, the material is changed on a molecular level. The nanocoating creates a self-organized, hydrophobic (water repelling) layer of nanoscale thickness. The nanoparticles become firmly anchored in the surface, thus ensuring that dirt particles, water droplets, grease, oil, acids and other liquids simply roll off the surface (lotus effect). This also results in easier cleaning, for example with a nano protection on ceramic surfaces or the cleaning/emptying of liquids inside of glass bottles with nano coatings. Nanoscale coatings can be applied to almost all materials (among ceramics and glass also metals, plastics, elastomers, etc.) They are resistant to temperatures of up to about 350°C and can be used as impregnation for fine-pored materials and high-precision applications. Is your workpiece exposed to heavy loads? If so, Aalberts surface treatment, as a leading nanocoating manufacturer, is your best choice among nanocoating companies.

nanocoatings: Innovative premium coatings with a major effect

Thin-film finishes on a molecular level are characterized by extremely strong adhesion to the substrate and exact contour reproductions. The self-organizing nanoparticles develop excellent adhesion properties and remarkable resistances. That is why Aalberts surface treatment’s innovative premium nanocoatings are so popular among many manufacturers and companies.

NANOFINISH® as infiltration-resistant nanocoating

Damages to surface coatings usually lead to infiltration of the functional layers. However, this does not apply to components coated with NANOFINISH®. This process – created by our company specializing in nanocoating – makes it possible to create contour-replicating nanoscale thin-film non-stick coatings. These coatings are resistant to infiltration, i.e. that they keep gases or liquids from penetrating into the component in case of damage. Defects are thus kept from spreading any further. NANOFINISH® offers excellent corrosion protection and can be applied to almost all substrates.

fields of application of NANOFINISH®

Finely structured nanoscale coatings are particularly suitable for fine-pored parts and high-precision applications. Nanotechnology in the form of extremely thin non-stick coatings is used in the area of demolding or as a protective layer for the sealing of many different surfaces. This highly performing nanocoating is also suitable for molds used in the electronics and medical technology industries. What is more, NANOFINISH® offers excellent corrosion protection for a wide range of applications where precision and continued functionality are required.
