Nano Aluminum Oxide | Transparent Scratch Resistant CoatingsFor many years, large micron size Aluminum Oxide has been added to coatings to improve scratch and abrasion resistance in hard surfaces like vinyl and hardwood flooring, decorative laminates, and furniture.

However, when these applications require higher gloss and improved transparency, the larger size is detrimental and cannot be used.



NanoArc® Aluminum Oxide can be added back into these coatings to provide
Scratch Resistance without negatively impacting transparency or gloss. This improves all types of hard surfaces from light wear and greatly benefits the cosmetic appearance.
