Abrasion-Resistant Coatings

The incorporation of nanomaterials in surface coatings can provide long-term abrasion resistance without significantly effecting optical clarity, gloss, color or physical properties. The need for scratch, mar and/or abrasion resistance is well established in various markets, including fingernail polishes, flooring, plastic glazing, headlamp covers and other automotive parts, transportation windows and optical lenses, where clear scratch-resistant coatings are used. NanoDur^TM alumina is especially well-suited for incorporation into coating systems, greatly enhancing abrasion resistance with minimal effects on clarity, gloss and physical properties of the coatings. The NanoDur^TM products can also be surface treated through proprietary technology to ensure compatibility with a variety of coating systems.
