Surface Engineering

Paints, Coatings, Customized Surfaces

We offer expertise in several fields of surface engineering.

Lacquers
We develop customized paints and coatings for indoor and outdoor applications. We also perform corona treatments as well as a broad range of tests to characterize coatings and surfaces.

Coatings
we use physical-chemical and wet chemical techniques

Technology and Equipment
Also in the field of lacquer and coating technology we develop equipment for laboratory use or industrial applications e.g. sputter coaters, thermo-mixers, spray coating units or reactors for coating of pigments.

Corona
Corona treatment (also referred to as ‘plasma surface treatment’) is a surface modification technique with diverse applications. For instance, it may be used to reduce the surface hydrophobicity of plastics, paper and textiles or render foils less gas-permeable.

Nano-composite Lacquers

By addition of nanoparticles the mechanical properties of e.g. lacquers (hardness, abrasion resistance, abrasion profile) can be improved without compromising color, brilliance or translucency.

Antibacterial Coatings

Photo-catalytic (TiO2, WO3,…) or chemo-active (Ag & Cu) antibacterial coatings prevent or at least suppress colonization by microorganisms.

Surface Functionalization
