The glasstec trade fair: Nanogate AG presents high-performance surfaces for
interior applications
Göttelborn/Düsseldorf, Germany, 28 September 2010. Nanogate AG (ISIN
DE000A0JKHC9), a leading international nanotechnology enabler, will be
demonstrating the performance of its pro.Glass(R) product range at
glasstec. The innovative protective system for all glass surfaces inside
buildings uses Nanogate technology to ensure that enhanced surfaces retain
their value durably. In addition to the proven pro.Glass(R) Clear,
pro.Glass(R) Matt and pro.Glass(R) Color products, the latest Nanogate
innovations will also be on display. The company made another addition to
its product palette this year with pro.Glass(R) Barrier 401, an optically
neutral barrier coating for UV light, and has already signed up the first
customers.
Nano-based mechanisms provide for multi-functional product properties
Many years of experience in glass processing and glass coating with a focus
on the use of nanotechnological processes and materials has made the
pro.Glass(R) product line one of the leading coating systems in the glazing
arena. pro.Glass(R) Barrier 401 not only cuts out 99% of UV light but with
its very thin coating it also offers impressive easy-to-clean performance
and is highly cost-effective. The enhanced glass surfaces can be cleaned
more easily and are impervious to common household detergents. The liquid
coating material has been designed for dip-coating plate glass and hardens
at particularly low temperatures. As well as for general glazing, as in
shop windows, pro.Glass(R) Barrier 401 is also ideally suited to
high-quality applications such as glass for museum collections, picture
frames and display cabinets.
Leading supplier of coatings for glass shower cubicles
Our expertise in developing easy-to-clean glass surfaces for shower
cubicles has helped to ensure that consumers nowadays ask for
nanotechnological solutions as standard. Well-known makers of shower
cubicles use pro.Glass(R) Clear to achieve the desired easy-to-clean effect
using optimised production processes, thereby gaining an edge over their
competitors.
In recent years Nanogate AG has continuously expanded its product range in
the field of high-performance surfaces. In addition to 'invisible
protection' for clear glass, its customers use pro.Glass(R) Matt to produce
a lasting enhancement that durably protects matt glass from collecting dust
and fingerprints. This robust, durable handling protection opens up
numerous design opportunities for manufacturers, especially as the product
variations developed by Nanogate can be applied quickly and cheaply. The
ultra-fine glass structure is 'filled in' with a coating of the nano-scale
modified polymer solution, without the matt effect being impaired.
pro.Glass(R) Color works on the same principle, offering handling
protection for matt glass as well as additional colouring opportunities for
decorative and furniture glass. This coloured coating also has all the
advantages of the Nanogate products for high-performance surfaces and is
available in a variety of colours (blue, red, yellow, green, grey, orange,
etc.).
The pro.Glass(R) Clean series completes the product range. It includes
special cleaning agents topretreat glass prior to coating, and detergents
to ensure that the coated glass surface retains its special properties for
even longer.
'Thanks to our permanent innovation in recent years, Nanogate AG has been
able to develop an extensive product portfolio for enhanced
high-performance industrial surfaces and to position it on the market. Our
development laboratories are working permanently on innovative industrial
solutions that will continue to give our customers a competitive edge,'
says Andreas Weis, head of the Industrial Surfaces division.

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 180 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, which is 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 81 employees in all (as of July 2010) and
since commencing operations in 1999 has been a trailblazer in
nanotechnology. The company has first-class customer references (e.g. ABB,
BSH Bosch-Siemens Haushaltsgeräte, Kärcher, Koenig&Bauer AG, Opel and
REWE Austria) and many years' experience of different industries and
applications. To date, more than 180 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, majority shareholdings in Holmenkol AG and in GfO
Gesellschaft fuer Oberflaechentechnik mbH and a shareholding in sarastro
GmbH.
