Nano-Additives

Surface properties of organic polymer coatings can be improved with our nano-additives, to be more hydrophobic, oleophobic and scratch resistant.The additives contain nanoparticles created by hydrolysis and condensation of silanes (sol-gel-technology).

The combination of different silanes, which are synthesized in a special process, gives as a result organically modified silica sols with approximately 30 % solid and long durability.

The use of additives has to be checked with each coating formula, in order to ensure compatibility with all other components of the formula. In case of incompatibilities additive modifications are possible.
