What are the functions of nano coatings?

Nanocoatings are widely used in the heat exchanger industry.

By adding nanoparticles to the surface coating, the effect of reducing the coefficient of friction can be achieved, self-lubricating materials can be formed, and even super-lubricating functions can be obtained.

In some coatings, super-lubricating new materials are prepared with C60, bucky tubes, etc. The introduction of nanomaterials in the coating can significantly improve the high temperature and oxidation resistance of the material.

Nanomaterial coatings can improve the corrosion resistance of substrates for surface modification and decoration purposes. Incorporating nanoparticles into a paint or coating can further enhance its protection against atmospheric and UV light, as well as achieve resistance to degradation and discoloration.

Adding nanomaterials to coatings can play the role of flame retardant, heat insulation and fire protection.
