About Nanocomposite coatings:

  • Nanocomposite coatings are formed by mixing two or more dissimilar materials at nanoscale to improve the physical, chemical and physicochemical properties of the new materials.
  • The unique characteristics of nanocomposite coatings include enhanced mechanical strength, weight reduction, improved barrier properties and increased heat, wear, and scratch resistance for lifelong performance
