Products
Protect, functionalize, and color your surfaces while preserving the character and dimensions of the material.
Coatix is an ultra-thin sol-gel ceramic coating technology that provides new properties to a surface.
The Challenges
01
Enhance surface protection against corrosion, environmental factors, or certain chemical attacks.
02
Aim for easy-to-clean or hydrophobic properties, or resistance to marks, suited to the application.
03
Add a function, identification, or color while preserving the appearance and dimensions of the substrate.
Your Need
Protection, ease of cleaning, hydrophobicity, fingerprint resistance, resistance to chemical or environmental attacks, coloration, and for certain specific formulations, antimicrobial properties: the solution is tailored to the material, application, and desired function.
Our Approach
01
Define
Identify the desired property and application constraints.
02
Characterize
Consider the material, initial condition, and geometry of the substrate.
03
Select & Apply
Determine the formulation, preparation, and application conditions.
04
Inspect
Verify the resulting surface according to the criteria defined for the project.
Coatix Properties
Coatix forms a very thin sol-gel ceramic coating, typically 3 to 8 µm. This minimal thickness preserves the dimensions, details, and metallic character of the substrate.
Depending on formulation and application:
Easy-to-clean • Hydrophobicity • Anti-fingerprint • Chemical protection • Corrosion protection • Coloration • Antimicrobial functionality* • Preservation of metallic appearance
* Antimicrobial functionality applies to specific formulations and must be evaluated according to the substrate, application conditions, and desired performance.

Coatix technology thus combines protection, functionality, and design, from industrial equipment to visible surfaces with high aesthetic requirements.
Technochim Expertise
A coating’s performance depends as much on its formulation as on substrate preparation and application.
Technochim masters the complete chain:
Material → Preparation → Formulation → Application → Inspection
This approach enables the selection and adaptation of Coatix to the actual desired function, with the possibility of trials and feasibility studies according to the project.
