Catalysts

The addition of nano-sized particles is particularly interesting in the coating market. Paint and coating containing silica, zinc and ceria oxide nanoparticles and others can provide improved wear, corrosion resistance and can stop solar degradation by absorption of the UV radiation. But, typically, high dosages of nanoparticles are needed to provide the expected results, since the current dispersion methods do not separate the nanomaterial into its individual particles. ADParticles is working in the development of catalysts for gas emissions control and bulk chemical products. Using its technology and by means of collaborations with researchers with broad knowledge in these areas, ADParticles is working in the increment of the efficiency and cost reduction of certain catalysts. In that way, ADParticles is focused to achieve catalyst with higher activity, higher selectivity and longer life. ADParticles achieves an uniform and controllable dispersion of nanoparticles and an exposed structure, with a strong anchoring of nanoparticles to the substrate.
