Anti-Corrosion

Langvarig rustbeskyttelse med nanocoating

Rusted metal railings illustrate how unprotected steel succumbs to corrosion over time. Advanced nanocoatings form an invisible shield to prevent such damage. Corrosion is a pervasive challenge across oil & gas, marine, infrastructure, and other industries​.

 

Left unchecked, rust and oxidation degrade critical equipment and structures – the global cost of corrosion is estimated around $2.5 trillion (≈3.4% of GDP) annually​ (NACE, 2017).

 

This leads to frequent maintenance, downtime, and even environmental hazards from leaks or structural failures. NanoTech Solutions’ anti-corrosion nanocoatings are engineered to combat this problem at the source. By leveraging nanotechnology, we create ultra-thin protective layers that isolate metal surfaces from moisture, oxygen, and corrosive chemicals. The result is a dramatically longer lifespan for assets and lower life-cycle costs for operators.

Technology & Scientific Principles

Our anti-corrosion nanocoatings work by forming a continuous nano-scale barrier that actively repels water and corrosive ions. Unlike traditional paints, these coatings incorporate advanced materials (such as sol-gel ceramics and polymer composites) that bond tightly to the substrate and fill microscopic crevices. This prevents the electrochemical reactions that produce rust.

 

For example, Gentoo, one of our sol-gel nanocoatings, creates a hydrophobic and chemical-resistant film – it repels water, oils, acids, and bases, effectively sealing the metal off from corrosive agents.

 

Another solution, SAPOE, is a thermoplastic polyester nano-powder coating that can be applied as a thick, uniform layer on steel. It’s completely solvent-free and forms a dense protective shell. The scientific principle is simple: keep the environment (water, salt, chemicals) from contacting the metal, even at the micro-level.

 

Nanoparticles within the coating may also serve as sacrificial corrosion inhibitors or provide cathodic protection in case the layer is breached. Furthermore, nanocoatings often leverage superhydrophobicity – by creating a lotus-leaf-like roughness, they cause water to bead up and roll off, carrying particles away with it. This lotus effect ensures the surface stays dry, which is key since moisture is required for most corrosion to propagate.

Bruksområder

Aerospace_engine

Aerospace

Nanocoating beskytter rør, tanker og utstyr mot korrosjon i aggressive miljøer med salt og H₂S.

 

Både innvendig og utvendig coating forhindrer generell nedbrytning og lokal svekkelse i sveiseområder, noe som forlenger levetid og inspeksjonsintervaller.

Infrastructure

Bygg & Infrastruktur

Coating på broer, rekkverk og stålkonstruksjoner beskytter mot rust forårsaket av vær, kjemikalier og salt.

 

Dette forebygger strukturell svekkelse og bevarer utseendet ved å hindre korrodering og irring.

Industry

Industri & Prosess

Utstyr, ventiler og pumper i kjemisk prosessindustri beskyttes av en indre nanobarriere som tåler syrer og baser, forhindrer lekkasjer og korrosjon, samt effektivt fungerer som en "top-coat" mot fukt, olje og kjemikaliesprut.

Tanks_Military

Militæret

Nanocoating gir langvarig rustbeskyttelse på militært utstyr under ekstreme forhold.
