• Protection of silver and silver-plated surfaces against tarnish and corrosion, especially the formation of silver sulfide according to:

Method

• Coating of the surface with an inorganic-organic nanocomposite as a diffusion barrier against corrosive media

Results

• Effective protection against corrosion even after mechanical damage of the coating
• Increased wear and scratch resistance
• 
  

• Stability of the coating against environmental influences like humidity and UV-radiation
• The material can be applied with commonly used coating techniques like spray-, dip- and flow-coating

Applications

• Tarnish and wear protection of metals, e. g. silver, brass
• Architectural applications
• Household appliances

Benefits

• Preservation of gloss and appearance of metals and metallized surfaces
