Objective
  • Transparent, scratch- and abrasion resistant corrosion protective coating materials for metals

Methods

  • Synthesis of coating-materials based on inorganic-organic nanocomposits with tailored structural domains stipulating the desired operational function

Results

  • Transparent
  • Excellent adhesion on glass, ceramics, polymers and metals
  • High scratch- and abrasion resistance
  • Application of common coating techniques (dip-, spray-, flow-coating) in addition with the use of thermal and/or photochemical curing methods



Applications
  • Corrosion resistant coatings (e. g. mild steel, brass, aluminum, magnesium)
  • Easy-to-Clean coatings (e. g. glass, polymer surfaces, metals)
  • Additional anti-adhesive properties
  • Tarnish protection on silver
  • Coloration and pigmentation is possible
  • Optional supply with anti-fingerprint properties

Benefits

  • Primerless adhesion on metals
  • High mechanical resistance for low coating thickness (approx. 5-10 µm)
