Improve
Protect, functionalize, and color your surfaces without masking the material, appearance, or function.
Coatix is a ceramic coating based on sol-gel technology. Applied as a thin layer, it can be used to target functional surface properties and a transparent or colored finish, depending on the chosen formulation. The choice of treatment takes into account the material, geometry, and conditions of use.
The challenges
01
Modify surface behavior to limit fouling and marks, and to facilitate maintenance.
02
Create an ultra-thin barrier suited to the identified chemical exposure, environmental conditions, and corrosion risks.
03
Combine technical properties and color to identify, differentiate, or enhance a surface without significant dimensional modification.
Your need
Our approach
Coatix is not a simple aesthetic coating. The system is defined based on the substrate, its initial state, its environment, and the desired properties. Technical performance and aesthetic finish can thus be integrated into the same surface strategy.
Hydrophobicity, ease of cleaning, resistance to marks, protection against corrosion or chemical attack, and color: Technochim adapts the system to the substrate, its environment, and the intended function. Color can thus meet an objective of identification, differentiation, or design, in addition to technical performance.
01
Define the function
Identify the support, its environment, the expected performance and, if applicable, the desired color.
02
Prepare the surface
Adapt the preparation to control adhesion, homogeneity, and the final appearance of the coating.
03
Apply Coatix
Deposit the sol-gel system and carry out its curing according to the defined protocol.
04
Check the result
Evaluate the appearance, color, and expected properties according to the criteria defined for the application.
The thickness of the coating is defined according to the chosen system. The preparation of the support, the formulation, and the application conditions determine the final result and the desired properties, taking into account the dimensions and tolerances of the part.
The formulation can combine different properties: hydrophobicity, ease of cleaning, resistance to marks, chemical protection, corrosion protection, and color.
Color thus becomes an additional functional property: identification and codification of equipment in industry, differentiation of parts, or aesthetic integration in architecture, design, and visible spaces.
