Nanophase Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX), a technology leader in
nanomaterials and advanced nanoengineered products, has broadened its NanoArc®
product portfolio with the addition of NanoArc® Aluminum Oxide dispersion
additives.
The newest additions to the NanoArc® product line help formulators meet
the rigorous scratch and mar resistance requirements of very thin, highly transparent
coatings. These products are designed for ultraviolet (UV) cured coatings used
on electronics and wood, and in a variety of graphic arts applications. This
comprehensive product offering, featuring various sized nano and sub-micron
alumina dispersed in commonly used monomers, significantly improves the scratch
and wear resistance of coatings used to protect thousands of products, from
cell phones and computers to furniture and high sheen magazine covers, providing
improved durability while preserving high optical clarity and gloss.
Nanophase’s proprietary manufacturing process delivers highly stable
dispersions that allow formulators to easily incorporate the appropriately sized
aluminum oxide particles into a coating. These products are designed for optimum
compatibility with the other components in the coating, so that the particles
remain well dispersed and non-agglomerated. Unlike other additives, NanoArc®
Aluminum Oxide dispersions are active at low loading levels and do not negatively
impact the application process or the mechanical properties of the coating.
Nanophase plans to showcase its new NanoArc® Aluminum Oxide dispersion
solutions at the European Coatings Show being held in Nüremberg, Germany
March 28 – 31, 2011. A detailed description of the NanoArc® family
of products can be found on the Nanophase website, www.nanophase.com
