Just as uncared skin loses much of its effectiveness, the incorrect preparation of the surfaces is responsible for the defective performance of the coatings.
Surface cleaning
Surface preparation
Functionalization
Cooling, camouflage, communication... Like with the skin of living beings, surfaces perform different functions that help the materials obtain better results and provide us with new uses.
Omniphobicity
Wettability
Antibacterial
Catalytic
Electrical conductivity
Others
Tribology
Reduce friction and wear to conserve and reduce energy, achieve faster and more precise movements, increase productivity and reduce maintenance... Great challenges for the industry to which CIDETEC provides solutions.
Lubricity
Wear resistance
Friction
Aesthetics
A beautiful skin, an attractive surface. It is not just a matter of aesthetics, nowadays it’s a widespread customer demand. The manufacturers know this and are seeking solutions, new looks, better finishes...
Color
Brightness
Texture
Dynamic surfaces
Protection
A skin that protects from the effects of the outside world: temperature, humidity, chemical agents... All kinds of aggressions to which surfaces need to respond to.
Resistance to harsh environment
Biofouling
Corrosion mechanisms
Corrosion tests
Protective coatings
Fouling & anticlogging resistance
Shaping
Just as the skin of some animals mimic with environment by means of shaping, sometimes the surfaces need to modify its shape as to fulfill its function.
