Materials and Testing
Development of superhydrophobic coating for polypropylene
We improve the superhydrophobic properties of polypropylene through a coating with high resistance to chemical agents and wear.
Coatings
Enhancing the technical capabilities of a material is possible through functional coatings.
The Key to Enhancing Your Materials
Coatings are a layer applied to a material to enhance its surface properties. This can increase the material’s durability, strength, and appeal. Coatings can also provide the material with new functionalities, such as anti-adhesion, self-cleaning, or self-healing.
At ATRIA, innovation is constant in this field. We help our clients incorporate the most suitable coating for their product, process, and goals
Custom Coating Solution for Your Application
1
Selecting the Type of Coating
Our team’s experience in coatings allows us to select the options that best fit your technical and budgetary requirements.
2
Activation Technique
Once the type of coating is selected, we conduct tests to determine the best activation technique and apply the product using various methodologies to ensure proper substrate adhesion.
3
Real Prototypes
We have industrial equipment that allows us to adapt the solution to an industrial process and prepare real prototypes. In our characterization laboratory, we verify adhesion and evaluate the new properties
4
Technology Industrialization
If you wish, we accompany you in the industrialization of the technology in your production line. Your satisfaction is our priority, focusing on your needs at every stage of collaboration.
Our Techniques
We understand that material activation and application technique are two key factors for the industrialization of a coating. That’s why we offer a wide range of options so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
Coatings
Activation techniques are treatments that enhance the adhesion of the subsequent coating.
Plasma (Atmospheric and Vacuum)
With this equipment, we can ionize a gas to activate surfaces. We use it for cleaning, activation, and even applying thin layers.
Flame
Applying heat alters the properties of the material, primarily its ability to wet and adhere.
Ozone
Exposing a surface to ozone helps us eliminate contaminants or alter their surface properties.
Pyrosil
It allows us to apply a thin layer of silicon to any surface, improving surface adhesion.
Primer
This initial thin layer helps the final layer adhere better to the surface and, in some cases, can also act as a sealer or base.
Chemical Activation
To enhance adhesion and compatibility of coatings, we can apply various agents that modify the surface chemistry of the material.
To improve the adhesion and compatibility of coatings, we can apply various agents that modify the surface chemistry of the material.
Dip-Coating
We primarily use it at the laboratory level as a simple and effective method to obtain thin layers of liquid materials.
Sol-gel
It is the process we use to create layers of materials from colloidal suspensions. We often use it with nanoparticles to enhance properties.
Spraying
It is the process we use to create layers of materials from colloidal suspensions. We often use it with nanoparticles to enhance properties.
Incubation
This technique helps us apply a uniform layer of material to a substrate by immersing it in a liquid solution.
PVD
Physical Vapor Deposition is a process of depositing materials in vapor form onto a solid.
Properties
Hydrophobic Coating for Metals
Through these coatings, we provide metals with hydrophobicity.
Oleophobicity on Steel Pipes
We achieve the modification of oleophobic properties on steel pipes.
Antibacterial Coating for Retail Applications
This coating reduces the proliferation of bacteria in retail applications with contact from numerous agents.
