Phone vs. Water
New nano-coatings can offer water and liquid damage protection for electronic and mobile devices. This new technology creates a thin, impenetrable layer of protection that guards electronics not only against drips and splashes, but from full submersion. Through a proprietary vapor deposition process, the protective nano-coating is applied in a vacuum chamber and works from the inside out to shield even the most intricate parts of electronic devices. It forms a seamless barrier that is invisible to the naked eye and 100 times the thickness of traditional plasma coatings.

Protecting Communication Infrastructure
Special coatings used for communications instillations, satellite dishes, and radar housing domes (radomes), are designed to resist corrosion, abrasion, chemicals and impact, and to be self-cleaning in most environments. They function to prevent water film from building up and hindering signals. Interestingly, these coatings are applied in a range of climates, from deserts to the Arctic.

Coatings on Everyday Devices
Transparent, conductive coatings used on electronics, including cellphones and tablets, create a film integral to making usable the touch-screens so entrenched in our lives, enabling excellent sensor-conductivity function and optical performance.

Coatings for Fiber Optics
Optical fiber coatings make telecom and internet technology possible by protecting the glass fibers that transmit telecommunications signals. UV LED (ultraviolet-light-emitting diode) cure coating technology helps minimize the environmental impacts of fiber optic production processes by replacing the conventional, energy-hungry curing systems used for fiber optic coatings with UV LED cure.
