Göttelborn/Düsseldorf, Germany - Nanogate AG, an international nanotechnology enabler, unveiled its first new application developed together with Gesellschaft für Oberflächentechnik GmbH (GfO), the company it now holds a majority stake in. Sicralan AP® is a transparent scratchproof coating with anti-fingerprint properties for use on stainless steel surfaces and plastics. The application was presented for the first time at a trade fair for plastics and rubber, K 2010, in Düsseldorf, Germany. The product is particularly suitable for designer surfaces in car interiors, households and buildings.
Nanogate and GfO are focusing on high-performance surfaces for plastics and metals, a fast-growing market with strong margins and an annual volume of around EUR 800 million across Europe. Their first joint product, Sicralan AP, exemplifies the wide array of opportunities available in this market of the future. The solutions devised are based on Nanogate´s extensive knowledge in the field of materials and GfO´s many years of process and coatings expertise.
Michael Jung, COO of Nanogate AG and Management Board member at GfO mbH, explained, “Intelligent surfaces, which appear to ‘invisibly’ add to and improve on existing product qualities, are an important distinguishing feature in competitive markets. Multifunctional surfaces provide this advantage in quality and pave the way for further uses of plastics in industry.”
Thanks to Nanogate´s acquisition of a majority stake in GfO, which was announced in August 2010, customers now have access to a complete range of services from a single source, from purchasing raw materials to formulating the material systems right through to coatings for surfaces. This speeds up development and market launch times while at the same time creating significantly more potential for international growth.
