The Science behind Nano Coating Technology

Nanocoating Technology can be easily called as one of the most vital future technologies. Nanocoatings are super-fine layers or chemical structures that are built upon surfaces by varied methods. It is the result of an application where unique hybrid structures build a consistent network of molecules on a surface. It imparts hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to the applied surface thereby increasing corrosion resistance and enhancing conductive properties.

Nanocoatings can be used in varied sectors of a widespread industry. It can be applied on a wide array of materials such as metals, glass, ceramics and polymers to extend their overall lifespan and to make them deterioration-resistant. In technical terms, nanocoating is measured on the nanoscale as it focuses on research and creation of very fine structures and elements. A nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. You can take idea about its thickness in the context that human hair is five times thicker than a nanometer.

The principle of Naocoating Technology allows man to exploit the molecular structure of materials as well as make new innovations in the field of coating solutions. The demand of high-performance ceramic coating has increased to an extent that numerous products are being developed in laboratories all over the globe with the help of this technology.   At 1-100 micron thickness, nanocoatings do not make changes to the topography of a surface. Unlike paints, they should not be expected to fill in the gaps and smoothen out the surface. In addition, such a fine coating may not resist abrasion and wear effectively.

Latest advances in surface chemistry and coating technology have greatly improved the accessibility of nanocoatings to an extent where consumers now find it easy to apply nanocaoting products through conventional means. Nanocoatings are both hydrophobic and oleophobic which can be used in industrial and commercial sector. A high-performance, good-quality nanocoating can be applied via spray, dipping, and wiping. Unique structure and chemical composition prevent normal deterioration when applied to variety of surfaces. This translates to greater durability, extended life spam, enhanced utility and structural integrity. Due to the hydrophobicity and oleophobicity of Nano Coating Technology, the surface tends to self-clean itself and requires less effort in cleaning.

Corrosion Protective Coatings Prevent Oxidization and Rust Formation

It is a common sight to see rust formation on metal objects due to prolonged exposure to environmental elements. Rust causes corrosion of metal which damages its structural integrity as well as reduces its efficiency. Apart from deteriorating condition, rusted metal can also pose serious safety threats to people in industrial and domestic sectors. Use corrosion protective coatings to protect metal surfaces from oxidization, rust-formation and corrosion.

The sole purpose of high-performance nano protection coatings is to extend the lifespan of metal surfaces by protecting the coated surface from rust, water, chemical agents, oils, and other natural elements in most harsh environmental conditions. The water-resistant properties of anti-corrosion coatings clog the oxidization which is the primary reason for rust formation on conventional metal surfaces. Hydrophobic and Oleophobic coatings repel water and oil respectively from the metal surfaces thereby making them increasingly resistant to corrosion and rusting. These properties make corrosion protective coatings an appropriate choice to shield various industrial and domestic surfaces.

 Since metal is most widely used item across different industries, anti-corrosion coatings can be used almost in every industry. These high-performance wear resistant coatings provide corrosion resistant surface that reduces the abrasion between the coated surfaces and other elements. The aesthetic and protective features of anti-corrosion coatings allows for enhanced exterior appeal and increased durability of the metal item. Excellent abrasion resistance, self-cleaning properties, thermal resistance, and liquid repellent properties of nano protective coatings enables effortless and easy cleaning of consumer appliances which require constant cleaning.

Rust-prevention is especially important in automotive sector so that metal surface remains thoroughly cleaned and abrasion-free for long-term use. Corrosion is inhibited through application of a coating which isolates metal from environmental elements such as tree sap, moisture, water, oils and other liquid matter. High-performance, corrosion resistant coatings can be used on both painted and unpainted surfaces for optimal exterior protection.

Nano protective coatings provide unmatched anti-corrosion protection while enhancing the aesthetics of underlying surface. It is transparent and crystal clear in nature so it does not interferes with the outlook of a metal item. Corrosion protective coatings are also available in a broad range of colors so as to alter or maintain the originality of the metal surface.
