coatings based on nanotechnology. Zyvere
Nanocoatings outperform all automotive OEM
coatings, automotive aftermarket coatings and
aerospace coating competitors;
»
53% higher scratch resistance: 6H pencil Zyvere 1K & 2K Nanocoatings were specifically designed to extend the life of important surfaces by producing a permanent coating with extreme scratch resistance and self-cleaning properties (oil, dirt, stain, water & ice repellency). Zyvere Nanocoatings were designed to be applied over Automotive OEM coatings including powder coating, over Automotive Aftermarket base coat paints, over Aerospace coatings, Industrial and Marine paint surfaces. Zyvere Nanocoatings are available in one and two-component ready-to-spray packages. Apply using an HVLP gun or Rotary Atomization. Market ready nanocoating formulations include; 1K high gloss OEM clears, 2K aftermarket clears, 1K UV clears, 1K & 2K matte-finish clear coats and 2K single-stage topcoats. »

What is a Nanocoating? "Adding nanoparticles to the polymer matrix of a coating does not make it a nanocoating. A nanocoating is synthesized using molecular engineering techniques to create a nano-structured polymer/coating. Nanovere's patent pending nano-structured polymer based nanocoatings provide extreme crosslink density with remarkable flexibility". Thomas Choate, Chairman & Principal Scientist Nanovere Technologies, Inc. What Nanocoatings are not... A coating with nanoparticles added to the polymer matrix will only incrementally improve the physical properties. Nanoparticles or nano-dirt can be used as an "additive" in a coating to reinforce the polymer matrix, reduce UV degradation of the substrate, improve chemical resistance and change the coatings electrochemical properties. The technique of using nanoparticles to maximize the physical surface properties of a coating are limiting. Adding nanoparticles to a polymer matrix depend on the molecular structure of the polymer backbone, size and amount of nanoparticles added, particle dispersion throughout the coating, structure and functionality of the nanoparticles. Tests prove that Zyvere nanocoatings have a dramatic improvement in scratch resistance and chemical resistance over all automotive clear coatings in the market today, including those utilizing nanoparticles or nano-dirt. Why nanotechnology is unique? All consumer products are produced from some type of raw material. Raw materials are composed of particles, which are usually invisible to the naked eye. With recent advances in science using nanomaterials, chemical engineers are now able to manufacture extraordinary nano-materials using raw materials like metals, resins and ceramics, but engineering them at the atomic level. Engineering and altering materials at the atomic level (atom-by-atom assembly) can produce materials that are much stronger, lighter, harder and more scratch resistant than their parent material. Zyvere Nanocoatings core nanomaterials are 7-10 nanometers in diameter and exhibit revolutionary scratch resistance, surface hardness, self-cleaning action, corrosion resistance and hydrophobicity. These particles are millions of times smaller than conventional coating materials. At the atomic level, nano-composites and metals like aluminum and titanium exhibit incredible strength, hardness, corrosion resistance and even transparency in coatings.
