Business targets
Very often we encounter damaged metal surfaces in elevators, trains, etc.
Operating companies are forced to spend a lot on purchasing specific cleaning compounds and on numerous staffs.
An anti-vandal coating is a polymer layer on a metal surface with a low adhesion to paints. The use of such coatings will enable an easy removal of any dirt from surfaces that will reduce labor costs and avoid using aggressive and hazardous cleaning chemicals.
Implementation features
This project is a kind of a challenge for scientists and engineers.
The fact is that the material being developed needs have a low wettability with both organic and water-alcohol paints.
The effect is expected to be achieved by introducing dedicated additives into the organic coating to reduce surface energy as well as to increase the material hardness and its resistance to scratches.
