About Nano-Care Deutschland AG
Nano-Care Deutschland AG is a specialist in the development and manufacture of ready-to-use high-tech coatings and their precursor products. The company originated from the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) and has been active in surface finishing for more than two decades. Initially, the company focused on silicon dioxide (SiO2) technology; today, silanes, polysilazanes, polysiloxanes, paraffins, hyperbranched polymers (dendrimers) and hybrid materials are also used. The ultra-thin coatings offer water repellency (lotus effect), scratch protection, antimicrobial efficacy and temperature resistance up to 1000 °C, and are applied to textiles, glass, metal, plastic, leather, paper and wood. With fluorine-free (C0) products, the company offers PFAS-free alternatives. The products are supplied to manufacturers, chemical distributors and users in more than 70 countries; international sales locations exist, among others, in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain and Sweden. Administration, development and production are located at the main site in Rehlingen-Siersburg.

Coating Technologies & Materials
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
The starting point of early product innovations, used among other things in hyperbranched SiO2 derivatives (concentrate TP zero).
Silanes
The basis of chemical innovations for surface functionalization.
Polysilazane
Forms robust, highly crosslinked protective layers on a variety of substrates.
Polysiloxane
The basis of chemical innovations for hydrophobic and protective coatings.
Paraffins
Material component of the extended product range.
Hyperbranched polymers (dendrimers)
Enable dense, three-dimensionally crosslinked protective layers (approx. 200 nm).
Hybrid materials
Combination of different chemistries to eliminate weaknesses and amplify strengths in the final product.
Fluorine-free C0 chemistry (PFAS-free)
Environmentally friendly water repellency without per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, especially for textiles and porous surfaces.
