Surface modifications and coating technologies for industrial applications

With over 25 years of surface modification experience, the Dutch company develops leading-edge surface technology for a host of industrial applications. A number of proprietary surfaces and coatings have found their way into the market. The company offers its expertise not only in surface modifications, but also in product development. With years of experience in bringing products to market, the company can assist in the entire design and manufacturing process. For many industrial products, its material is determined based on qualities needed at the product's surface. The surfaces developed by the company change the way a product's core material interacts with its environment. This frees the path to choose materials that are cheaper and/or easier to work with. With proprietary technologies, the company can develop a range of surfaces and coatings: whether it is wear resistance, electrical conductivity or insulation, corrossion resistance, etc. One of the surfaces developed by the company is a proprietary metallic ceramic with hardness of upto 85 Rockwell C, a friction coefficient of 0.05 (equal to Teflon) and a thickness of only a few hundred nanometers. It is widely used in extending the life span of (injection) molds and other tools that would otherwise suffer from eccessive wear. The company is looking for developers, OEM's and production companies who are looking for surface modifications and coating technologies for new and existing industrial applications.The companies strategic goal is to develop and co-develop surfaces using the various technologies of the company. This includes engineering/consulting services as part of product development and testing. Envisaged partnerships would be in the form of a technical cooperation agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
