NanoArc® Cerium Oxide restores architectural windows to a like new condition. The highly efficient polishing activity of the nano ceria removes micro-roughness, leaving glass surfaces smooth and defect free

Automotive

Variety of performance benefits while maintaining clarity

Electronics

Precision polishing for glass, metal, and dielectric applications

Energy

Nano metal oxides can be used in Lithium-Ion cells as stability enhancing additives in high voltage cathodes, ceramic doped membranes, exterior coatings on separators, precursors to synthesis of cathode material, and components of the hermetic seals.

Exterior Coatings

UV radiation is known to contribute to the chemical modification of exposed coating surfaces, resulting in loss of gloss, color change, chalking, and eventually, destruction of the film. NanoArc® Zinc Oxide Dispersions provide superior performance, beyond conventional UV Absorbers for exterior coatings, due to their broad absorption spectrum and long-term stability. In addition to long-term gloss retention and color fastness, NanoArc® Zinc Oxide may also help improve tannin and stain blocking and provide improved coating durability with limited effect on transparency.

Graphic Arts

Scratch and mar resistance in radiation curable over print varnishes, with no effect on slip or coefficient of friction. Addition of NanoArc® aluminum oxide dispersions to OPVs, protects the inks plus adds functionality to magazines, packaging, and other printed materials

Personal Care

Nano Zinc Oxide is highly effective in protecting against both UVA and UVB radiation, providing full spectrum UV Protection. Reducing zinc oxide to nano size, it becomes inherently “transparent” when applied to the skin but maintains its ability to effectively block UVA and UVB radiation. This innovation has allowed NanoArc® Zinc Oxide to be incorporated into any topically applied sun protection product with virtually no whitening effect.

Plastics

Enhanced UV protection for outdoor and food applications

Scratch Resistant Coatings

Long-term scratch and abrasion resistance in Electronic Coatings while maintaining excellent gloss and transparency. NanoArc alumina dispersions offer superior performance in radiation cured coatings for computer laptops, cell phones, and other portable devices, maintaining the appearance and durability of the coating.

Textiles

Reliable and enduring UV sun protection for fabrics
