How it Works
Surfaces
Aculon® has a wide variety of coating technologies at our disposal meaning that we can treat nearly any surface or substrate. This includes, but is not limited to metals, polymers, semiconductors, ceramics, and glass. The type of substrate will impact the nano-coating technology options which can be utilized in addition to cleaning or other processing steps that may be required. In general due to the presence of a surface oxide layer we find the highest likelihood of coating success with metals, ceramics, glass, and semiconductors.
Particle Modification Performance
Our particle coating technologies are capable of functionalizing the behavior of particles to have drastically altered behavior. Nano-coating options for particles and powders include hydrophobic, oleophobic, or hydrophilic functionalities. These coatings & treatments are predominantly nanoscale, as thin as 2-4 nm in thickness leaving your material visually unchanged. A self assembling process ensures a uniform and even coating every time!
Technology - Particle Coating Platforms
Aculon’s® core surface coating technology is based around the SAMP or "Self Assembled Monolayer of Phosphonates" which is comprised of a phosphonic acid and a functional tail molecule which can impart a variety of surface behaviors on oxide containing substrates. Other options in our suite of nano-coating technologies for modifying the behavior of surfaces are organometallic, transition metal complex, traditional polymeric coating, & surface growth polymer coating options.
Particle Coating Durability
Aculon’s® nano-coating options are chemically robust with options that can withstand most any environment or exposure condition. These coatings & treatments are thermally stable (200°-300°C+) in ambient air. Stable treatments will survive most organic and aqueous process solvents.
Application Process - Particle Modification Coatings
Aculon® particle modification nano-coatings are robust and scalable for high volume commercial applications. These coatings & treatments are all applied via wet chemical processes, meaning no deposition equipment, chambers, or batch processing, ever! Application options for particles or powders are typically done via immersion blending, flow coating, dip application, spray application, or milling application.
