Nanomaterials-based coating additives that easily enhance any standard plating process
Nanomaterials-based coating additives that easily enhance any standard plating process
The need
The global cost of corrosion and wear is huge, over €2.3 trillion per year. Traditional protective coatings require the use of specific materials (nickel, zinc, chromium). They cause water and environmental pollution and generate significant CO2 emissions.
The solution
Coat-it offers nanomaterials-based coating additives which can be easily added to a standard plating process, enabling the manufacture of nanocomposite coatings. Nanomaterials-based coatings are more durable, more resistant to corrosion and have new functionalities, such as additives for water dispersion and incorporated nanoparticles. No change to the coating process is required.
The value proposition
- Reduces the corrosion rate of metal coatings by up to 2.5 times.
- Longer lifespan.
- Objects retain their value.
- Safer devices.
- Less frequent repairs and scrap metals.
- Material savings ~25%
- Low CO2 emissions -15%
- More plating cycles.
