Description

TEKNIKER infrastructure comprising three pilot lines for the development and application of sol-gel coatings on industrial components using dip-coating, spray-coating and curtain coating (slot-die) technologies.

The infrastructure accommodates a wide variety of component geometries (both flat and 3D) and enables the production of multifunctional coatings with optical, thermal, surface and protective properties, tailored to specific industrial requirements.
