Functional Atomized Nano-Coating Technology
Overview
NAMI has developed an atomization technology for coating different nanomaterials on various substrates.
Commercialisation opportunities
Non-exclusive licensing
Problem addressed
Traditional ways of coating like spraying, dip coating, brushing and rolling always result in a coating layer with thickness of over tens of micrometers and change the appearance of the substrates easily. NAMI’s atomization technology can build a nanolayer of coating that offers superior appearance retention of the underlying substrates.
Innovation
- In-situ sol-gel process forms the nano-coating with good adhesion on the substrates and apperance retention of underlying substrates
- Formulation design controls different coating glassiness from shiny to matt (60° gloss control ranges from 10 to 90 gloss units)
Key impact
- Ready for batch production
- Appearance retention of underlying substrates
- Applicable for various material substrates including metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc.
- Cost-effective and environmental-friendly
Application
- Anti-scratch and self-cleaning nano-coating for glass, plastic and wood
- Anti-corrosion nano-coating for metal
