Hannover Messe 2010: Nanogate AG adds substantially to its expertise in the
field of high-performance industrial surfaces
Ultra-high-performance anti-fingerprint surfaces and highly effective UV
protection coatings for glass. Significant extension of the perma line and
pro.Glas line product families. First cooperation programmes launched with
renowned customers.
Göttelborn/Hanover, Germany, 19 April 2010. Nanogate AG (ISIN
DE000A0JKHC9), a leading international nanotechnology enabler, is
presenting two extended product lines with a wide variety of potential
applications at the Hannover Messe. The pro.Glass(R) Barrier UV line
provides an optically neutral barrier coating against ultra-violet light,
which is also easier to clean, less prone to scratching and impervious to
cleaning agents. The permaSeal metal 120 product developed for stainless
steel surfaces offers a resistant, anti-scratch coating that also protects
against fingerprints and makes cleaning easier. For the new product line
pro.Glass(R) Barrier UV, Nanogate recently signed a cooperation agreement
on the market launch for the coating system with BERLINER GLAS.
The innovative UV protective coating for interior glazing that Nanogate is
presenting at the exhibition is remarkable for its multi-functional
properties: in addition to blocking 99 % of UV light, the optically
neutral, permanent enhancement is also extremely weatherproof, so that it
does not yellow with age. The highly resistant product is applied in a very
thin coating and also has an easy-to-clean function, making enhanced glass
surfaces easier to clean, scratchproof and impervious to typical household
detergents. The new UV-protective coating adds an important functionality
to the pro.Glas(R) line for clear and frosted glass and thereby opens up a
wide new field of applications. As well as for general glazing,as in shop
windows, the coating is also ideally suited to high-quality applications
such as glass for museums, picture frames or display cabinets. With
pro.Glass(R) Barrier, objects that are particularly sensitive to UV light
such as works of art, pictures and exhibits can be effectively protected.Nanogate is now starting an initial cooperation programme with BERLINER
GLAS, one of Europe's leading companies for glass treatment and
applications, with the aim of realising its operating market debut in 2010.
'Adding UV-light protection to the functionalities of the pro.Glass(R) line
significantly increases our skill-set in glass-surface enhancement. The
fact that we were able to team up with such a respected partner as BERLINER
GLAS confirms the potential of the new product line', says Andreas Weis,
head of the industrial surfaces division at Nanogate.
The successful perma line series, which recently introduced an additional
anti-scratch coating for metal surfaces, has also been extended and now has
extra anti-fingerprint functionality for stainless steel. The completely
transparent, anti-scratch coating protects stainless steel surfaces from
fingerprints, making surfaces much lessprone to damage and easier to
clean, so that even after many years they show scarcely any traces of
abrasion. The coating is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical
influences as it forms a permanent bond with the surface. The extremely
abrasion-proof coating can be used for everything from decorative metallic
surfaces in the automotive sector to white goods and internal or external
building applications. 'We are currently in talks with a company that
produces high-quality design elements and expect to receive important
reference orders shortly. These kinds of cooperation agreements could
establish Nanogate's international technology leadership in one move', says
Michael Jung, Management Board member of Nanogate AG.
Nanogate's technological innovations create efficient, sustainable,
high-performance industrial surfaces that conserve resources and thereby
reduce impact on the environment. Nanogate is thereby applying consistently
the principle of GreenNano(c), sustainable business based on
nanotechnology. This principle is both a key long-term growth driver for
Nanogate and a contribution to resolving the issues of energy efficiency
and environmental protection that affect the whole of society.

Innovation-driven competitive advantage:
Using this guiding motto, Nanogate AG launched a comprehensive innovation
offensive in 2009 in order to open up new growth prospects for its clients.
To achieve this, Nanogate increased its investments and funding
significantly - in particular in the 2009 financial year - and has since
then presented a multitude of innovations. Since going public in 2006 the
company has already invested several million euros in developing new
technology platforms and has transformed these into marketable products.
Nanogate has successfully illustrated its expertise in more than 150 cases,
using innovations to provide its clients with a competitive advantage.
Nanogate AG:
Nanogate is a leading international enabler in the nanotechnology growth
market and so opens the gate to this technology for its customers. The
firm, whichis based in Göttelborn (Saarland), enables the programming and
integration of additional properties - such as non-stick, anti-bacterial,
anti-corrosive and ultra-low friction - into materials and surfaces.
Nanogate thereby gains a competitive edge for its customers by product
refinement using chemical nanotechnology. Nanogate covers a wide range of
industries, functions and substrates on the basis of technology platforms.
The company thus provides a decisive interface for the commercial use of
chemical nanotechnology and bridges the gap between the suppliers of raw
materials and industrial conversion into products. In doing so, Nanogate
concentrates as an enabler on one of the most attractive segments in the
industry. As a partner in innovation, Nanogate provides many services along
the value chain - from development and production of innovative
nanocomposities and nanostructured materials to powerful support for
innovation and product integration.
The Nanogate Group currently has 84 employees in all (as of September 2009)
and since commencing operations in 1999 has been a trailblazer in
nanotechnology. The company has first-class customer references (e.g. ABB,
BSH Bosch-SiemensHaushaltsgeräte, Kärcher, Koenig&Bauer AG, Opel and
REWE Austria) and many years' experience of different industries and
applications. To date, more than 150 projects have gone into mass
production. Nanogate has also entered into strategic cooperations with
international companies such as the GEA Group and Dow Corning. The Group
also includes Nanogate Advanced Materials GmbH, which specialises in
complex applications like high-performance optics, FNP GmbH in the area of
sport/leisure, a majorityshareholding in Holmenkol AG and a shareholding
in sarastro GmbH.
