Electronics & Displays
Enables anti-smudge, anti-static, and easy-clean surfaces with sub-100°C curing for thermally sensitive substrates.
Construction & Architecture
Anti-graffiti and anti-soiling coatings reduce maintenance on façades, glass, and public infrastructure.
The World of Advanced Coatings
Smart surfaces for extreme demands.
Cookware and Bakeware
Problem: PFAS and other Flourine containing compounds used in cook and bakeware do not retain their non-stick properties, are prone to peeling-off the surface and will be banned.
Solution: Nanize FDA compliant coatings do not contain any PFAS or Flourine. They covalently bond to the substrate and retain their excellent non-stick performance.
Result: Cookware and Bakeware manufacturers can continue to meet their customers’ expectations through offering PFAS-free high performance, durable non-stick products coated and ultra-rapidly cured using Nanize polysilazane formulations and technology. In addition, manufacturers can benefit from a simplified and lower cost manufacturing process thanks to Nanize ultra-rapid curing which does not need protracted time at high temperature.
Commercial and Domestic
Problem: Protective and Decorative surfaces (TPU, paint, trim) suffer from chemical degradation, marking / graffiti, or abrasive wear.
Solution: Nanize polysilazane formulations can be customised to create coatings that meet specific end-user requirements and expectations. With Nanize ultra-rapid curing taking place below 100degC durable polysialzance coatings can be applied to a wide variety of substrates including plastics such as TPU film.
Result: Coatings can be readily high- volume manufactured cost effectively to exhibit excellent non-marking, anti-graffiti, stay-clean properties which enhance their appearance, are easy to maintain and are durable.
Renewable Energy
Problem: The accumulation of soiling and dirt over time reduces energy generation on solar modules and reduces wind turbine performance through increased drag.
Solution: Nanize coatings have a high degree of hydrophobicity and extremely low coefficient of friction that significantly reduces build-up and adhesion of dirt on the surfaces to which they are applied.
Result: Through the use of Nanize polysilazane formulations and ultra-rapid curing process renewable energy generation performance of solar modules and wind turbines can be improved with a corresponding reduction in the need for down-time to undertake cleaning. The durability and long-life of Nanize coatings is achieved through excellent cross-linking during the curing process combined with covalent bonding to the substrate to prevent flaking and delamination in use.
Automotive
Problem: Exterior plastics used within the automotive sector ranging from headlamp covers to providing protection for sensors such as LIDAR and cameras suffer from abrasion / scratching and impaired functionality from water and dirt build up.
Solution: Nanize’s hydrophobic coatings which are hard, durable and scratch-resistant can be readily applied using standard industry processes and then ultra-fast fully cured in less than 1 minute and below 70degC without damage to the performance of the plastic substrate.
Result: The performance and durability of complex moulded exterior plastic parts used within the automotive sector can be significantly enhanced through a combination of Nanize polysilazane coating formulations and Nanize ultra-rapid curing technology. The production process for applying the coatings and curing them can be readily introduced into a high volume manufacturing environment thanks to the low temperature and speed of the process.
Electronics & Displays
Problem: Touch screens and displays attract fingerprints and dust which impairs their use and in common with other electronic devices cannot tolerate elevated temperatures during manufacturing such as OLEDs.
Solution: Nanize functional coatings can be quickly cost effectively applied and ultra-rapidly, fully cured at temperatures below 70degC to create durable low friction, smudge-repellent protective surfaces.
Result: The performance of touch screens and displays is significantly improved through application of a Nanize polysilazane formulation coating that has been ultra-rapidly cured overcoming the need for frequent cleaning with chemical wipes. Electronic components such as OLEDs are sensitive to both elevated temperatures above 100degC and ingress of moisture. Nanize coatings which can be readily applied using standard high volume industrial processes and cured quickly at temperatures below which damage might occur and protect sensitive devices from their environment.
Construction & Architecture
Problem: The exterior skins of buildings such as claddings and curtain walls are exposed to seasonal weather extremes and need to both retain their performance in protecting the building envelope as well as not visibly deteriorating in appearance through corrosion, soiling or from graffiti.
Solution: Through applying a Nanize polysilazane formulation coating to the typically used, steel or aluminium building skin material followed by ultra-rapid curing in a high throughput manufacturing process a durable, corrosion resistant surface that is hydrophobic, non-marking / anti-graffiti and not prone to soiling is created.
Result: The benefits of creating a long-life building skin that retains both its architectural appearance and functional performance whilst not requiring frequent cleaning from the build up of dirt or the removal of graffiti are both economic and aesthetic. The fact that such building material are manufactured in high volumes on high speed production lines is not compromised thanks to the standard industrial processes for applying the Nanize coating such as spraying and the ultra-rapid curing in less than 1 minute below 70degC.
Industrial Manufacturing
Problem: In highly automated, high speed, industrial manufacturing processes down time due to wear of equipment surfaces is a significant cost. The root cause of this problem is typically due to interface friction between machine components and or the product being manufactured. This can often be overcome using an oil-based lubricant but may then require cleaning of the product to remove any residue before further processing or sale.
Solution: Nanize ultra-rapidly cured polysilazane coatings are inherently extremely low friction and can be applied to a wide variety of substrates whether production machine parts, on the product being manufactured or both.
Result: Through creating slippery low coefficient of friction durable coatings equipment runs more efficiently with lower energy costs, reduced downtime to replace worn parts and a reduction in damage to finished products caused by surfaces rubbing against each other. High volume production of small and delicate bottles being transported along conveyors with multiple touch points between bottles and the equipment is an application where Nanize formulation ultra-rapidly cured polysilazane coatings can be applied to both the bottles and the production equipment for improved efficiency, less waste and reduced cost.
“ To see the uptake of interest in Nanize polysilazane coatings formulations and ultra-rapid curing technology from such a wide variety of industries and applications is extremely exciting.”
