Nouryon and Forge Nano have agreed to explore a collaboration in ultra-thin coatings for high-growth applications, including batteries and catalysts.
New Coating Solutions with ALD Technology
From laboratory scale to commercial scale, Forge Nano’s patented atomic layer deposition (ALD) process enables atomic level coatings that are both economical and consistent. The technology, called atomic layer deposition (ALD), also has the potential to open-up entirely new applications.
The companies have complementary activities in ultra-thin coatings:
-
Forge Nano develops precision nano-coating technology
-
Nouryon supplies metalorganic building blocks, including trimethylaluminum (TMAL) and diethylzinc (DEZ)
Ultra-thin Coatings to Enhance Physical Properties
These building blocks enable ultra-thin coatings to be engineered and assembled one atomic layer at a time onto the surface of materials, thereby enhancing their physical properties without affecting overall functionality and further opening entirely new frontiers on the material’s performance.
“
It is now possible to control coating surfaces at the sub-nanoscale level and produce them at a commercial scale”, said Dr. Paul Lichty, Founder and CEO of Forge Nano.
"The agreement is a great example of Nouryon’s focus on collaborative innovation to develop new products and technologies for attractive growth markets", said Steve Hunt, Vice President of Business Development at Nouryon. “
We are targeting multiple applications in catalysts, batteries and other markets through this agreement. By working closely with partners like Forge Nano, we can use our combined expertise to introduce new solutions to customers across a range of markets.”
