Introduction to Markets for Protective nanocoatings
The key performance benefit nanocoatings provide is protection-from ice, pollutants, Ultra- Violet (UV) damage, fire, heat, bacteria, marine life, touch and corrosion. These factors cost global industry billions of dollars in maintenance, loss and downtime each year and can pose a significant public health hazard. Protective nanocoatings are attractive as they be designed to be used on virtually any substrate and can therefore be applied to industrial components in a wide range of markets. Nanocoatings are increasingly finding application in metal equipment requiring protection from corrosion, fatigue, wear, erosion and heat.
