In recent years, requirements for modern coatings have dramatically increased. Besides optical appearance, new functionalities like improved mechanical properties, anti-static behavior or electrical conductivity are desired.
AM Coatings has developed a unique and worldwide patented technology that provides safe and durable protection against bacteria, algae, molds and fungi.
Researchers working at NanoQAM, the nanotechnology research centre of the University of Quebec (Montreal, Canada), are successfully innovating novel polymer coatings on the basis of data measured using a Viscotek high-temperature gel permeation chromatography (HT-GPC) system from Malvern Instruments.
This new water-based barrier coating product line provides a significant advance in the performance of water-based high barrier nanocomposite coatings.
Scientists and conservators have teamed up to develop and test a new, high-tech way to protect silver art objects and artifacts, using coatings that are mere nanometers thick.
