Nanocoatings represent ultra-thin layers or chemical structures applied onto surfaces through various methods. Some nanocoatings are polymer-based, either polymerized on-site or prior to application.
In essence, nanocoatings are coatings measured on a nanoscale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in thickness. This stands in stark contrast to conventional automotive paint, which measures around 125 microns or 125,000 nanometers. At this minuscule scale, the principles of quantum physics come into play.
Nanocoatings can be structured as thin as a single molecule or can consist of multiple layers of molecules. There are also hybrid nanocoatings like NanoSlic, which leverage multiple layers to offer a diverse range of advantages.

Nanocoatings are commonly applied to surfaces to bestow specific chemical or physical functionalities. These functionalities may include rendering surfaces hydrophobic and oleophobic to enhance resistance against corrosion, improving insulative or conductive properties, or even providing self-cleaning capabilities. Moreover, nanocoatings offer resistance against various elements such as water, static, oil, scratches, bacteria, corrosion, fungus, friction, UV rays, among others. Nanocoatings can be applied to a wide variety of substrates and bond chemically with non-porous surfaces. For example, they work with metals, ceramics, plastics, and polymers. They can even be applied to other nanocoatings.
Nanocoatings find extensive applications across various industries and sectors including electronics, medical equipment, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and aerospace. Their versatility enables them to serve diverse purposes, from preventing fingerprint formation on automotive surfaces to inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in medical environments, and even aiding in moisture repellency for clothing.
Presently, researchers are harnessing the potential of nanocoatings to address numerous common challenges and problems across various sectors, ranging from pharmaceuticals to paints, leading to their widespread adoption in an extensive array of applications.
Upon receipt of your purchase order, we will initiate a formal Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review in collaboration with you and your team. This critical step aims to optimize the design, proactively preventing issues, minimizing production time, and ensuring that the investment casted components align with your design and performance criteria.
The inclusion of a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) is integral to a comprehensive product development program. Conducting meticulous inspections is crucial to prevent the occurrence of out-of-tolerance components and the need for rework in stamped parts. Alphawerk's process integrates this indispensable step, providing you with full confidence in the quality of the parts you receive.
The events unfolding globally in the early 2020s have highlighted the significance of effective inventory management and resilient supply chains. The conventional just-in-time (JIT) approach may limit your capacity to respond swiftly to market or order fluctuations. Establishing a globally connected supply partner emerges as an effective strategy for fortifying resiliency and diversifying sources of supply.
