Nanotechnology Products, Applications & Instruments

Develops and supplies software, hardware and measurement as well as optimization services, which have a relation to surface mechanics. The activities are especially focused on thin coatings in the range from some micrometers down to a few nanometers.

Applies nanotechnology across several product areas such as cosmetics where the companysupplies UV absorbers based on nanoparticulate zinc oxide and titanium dioxide; binders for facade coatings where inorganic nanoparticles are homogeneously incorporated into organic polymer particles of water-based dispersions; and plastics with nanoadditive which improves flowability during production.

Bioni's core business is the development, production and marketing of coatings to enhance the walls, facades and roofs of all manner of buildings. Based upon the latest scientific findings in nanotechnology and together with the researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology, Bioni has developed an effective nano-filler combination, which when used in both interior and facade paints, permanently prevents the formation of mould, bacteria and algae.

The company's core competence is the selective modification of glass by generating metal nanoellipsoids inside the glass material.Boraglas develops and commercializes laser-based nanotechnologies especially for glass material which is applied for the manufacturing of nanotechnology products.

Buhler PARTEC offers its customers various tailor-made products. In these customized products, the nanoparticle suspensions and production processes are matched specifically to the customer's product.

Manufactures nanoparticle additives for use in the production of coatings, printing inks and plastics to optimize the production process and to improve the quality of the final product.

The company develops and sells a series of acrylate nanocomposite coatings under the trade name CETOSIL that contain up to 30% of nano-sized silica. The use of special surface grafted silica nanoparticles ensures the transparency and low viscosity of the coatings.
