Nano coatings are a very interesting “novelty” in the field of surface protection, with superior properties that are not found in other types of coatings. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in coatings for which it is claimed they contain nano particles. Especially within our industry, the use of the term ‘nano’ has increased significantly, sometimes appropriately so, but often only as a marketing gimmick that aims at increasing the perceived quality of a product. International has been a producer and supplier of various products based on nano particles for years, and handles the use of the term “nano” with the outmost seriousness. We will only use the term nano-coating for products that actually contain nano materials.
