Next month, Nüremberg is welcoming the European Coatings Show and Conference after 2 years without any gathering due to the pandemic.
Europe’s leading conference on coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and construction chemicals will be held on March 27th and 28th at the Messezentrum. International experts will be reunited to present recent developments, but also to debate and to inform.
Arno Schut, Innovation Manager from Axcentive, will be speaker at the Functional Coatings Conference on Monday March 27th to discuss about Titanium Dioxyde Based Nanotechnology for Smart and Functional Coatings:
“Nano titanium dioxide produced from the sol-gel method forms an easy route to waterborne sols that can be directly applied as a coating following commonly used application methods. Coatings based on sol-gel prepared nano titanium dioxide were applied on to glass showing minimal effect on the transparency of the glass. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic force microscopy) showed that the coating had an open structure with a particle size of 16nm and an average rugosity of 29nm. These coatings are superhydrophilic upon light activation, which results in decreased water contact angle and demonstrate antistatic behaviour. Moreover, the coating was able to breakdown organic and inorganic matter according to ISO27442 and ISO1096-5 standards for the breakdown of these types of materials. In a real-life performance test coated solar panels were able to produce on average 1% more power. (…)”
While being there, you can also pay Axcentive a visit in Hall 3C, booth 751. The whole team would be pleased to present you the latest developments and solutions that EXOCOAT™ can offer you.
