Objective
- Development of inorganic-organic nanocomposite gradient coatings with low free surface
energy by perfluorinated organic groupings through the sol-gel process
Application
- Common coating technologies (e.g. dip, spray or spin coating) and UV and/or thermal
curing
Properties
- Wetting behavior comparable to perfluorinated polymers and thereby easy-to-clean
properties (surface free energy » 19 mJ/m2)
- Optically transparent
- Application on glass, polymer and metal surfaces
- High UV-stability
- High scratch and abrasion resistance
- Thermal stability up to 400 °C
|
Applications
- Easy-to-clean coatings on glass, ceramics, polymers, metals and textiles
- Cars, planes, railroad, furniture, piping, paper industry, printing industry, etc.
- Antiadhesive coatings
- Mould release coatings
- Zero carry over coatings in capillaries
- Food technology
- Buildings and pavements
- Anti-billposting coatings
Advantages
- Saving of detergents and water
- Coating material can be adjusted to present production lines
- Coating material can be adjusted to glass, ceramics, enamel, polymers and metals
- Thin coating (1-5 µm): only small amounts of coating material required
