Inorganic coating for stain-resistant ceramics
Accurate Atom Inc's inorganic coating technology enhances ceramics with a stain-resistant layer that bonds more effectively with water than with common stains. This innovation significantly reduces the adherence of limescale, biofilms, and other stains, improving cleanliness and longevity.
Overview
Accurate Atom Inc presents an innovative inorganic coating technology designed to enhance the stain resistance of ceramic surfaces. This coating creates a barrier that has a much stronger affinity for water than for common staining substances like limescale, fecal soils, urine scale, biofilms, and sludge. By altering the intermolecular forces, the coating enables easier cleaning and maintenance of ceramic surfaces, making it ideal for applications in bathrooms, kitchens, and industrial settings.
Technical specifications
- Coating properties: The inorganic coating forms a durable layer that preferentially bonds with water, facilitating the removal of stains through simple flushing.
- Application process: The coating is applied via a spray-on method, ensuring uniform coverage and effective protection.
- Testing and validation: The coating's effectiveness is validated by applying it to ceramic samples and testing with model stains in a controlled laboratory environment.
Technology readiness level
Currently at TRL 4, this technology has been validated in a lab setting using relevant ceramic samples. Further testing with customer-supplied samples will provide additional validation and refinement opportunities.
