Description:
The nHALO process is based on the combustion of liquid raw materials in an atmospheric flame. The liquid is atomized and the droplets and the raw materials evaporate and condensate again to homogeneous, nanosize particles, which are then deposited on the surface to be coated, e.g., a ceramic tile.
The main advantages of the nHALO process are:
- The process is atmospheric, neither vacuum nor special gas atmosphere is required
- The process can produce multicomponent nanoparticles – like doped titania
- The produced particles can be immediately deposited on the surface to be coated
The nHALO process uses inexpensive raw materials. The fuel gas and oxygen (or enriched air) are gases commonly used in ceramics and glass manufacturing. The raw materials for self-cleaning and antibacterial coatings are salts of Ti and Ag (like Ti-sulfate and Ag-nitrate) dissolved in, e.g., methanol. The amount of TiO2 required is only about 0.1 g for each m2 of tile surface, i.e., for 1 000 000 m2 tile production, only 100 kg of TiO2 is required!
Self-cleaning, antibacterial and hygienic surfaces are here today - and even more in the future. In order to help you, ABR Innova Oy is ready to make tests on your tiles, glass and steel on its off-line coating equipment. Please see our Terms of Business. We will be happy to provide you with the necessary technology and equipment. |
