Titanium dioxide and barium sulfate-based nanotechnology
Ultrafine particles based on titanium dioxide open up undreamed of innovative potentials for the reduction of damage caused by increasingly aggressive UV radiation. The applications for ultrafine particles are broad and diverse - whether in the field of life-sciences, biotechnology, the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries, the textile industries, in paints and coatings, the automotive industry, furniture, up to and including coal-fired power generating plants, ultrafine titanium dioxide particles are finding ever more new applications.In the new generations of sunscreen and sunblocker products, transparent EUSOLEX® T-products form an invisible physical barrier impenetrable to UV light. The advantages over organic filters: sunblocker cremes and lotions containing ultrafine titanium dioxide particles are more transparent and more efficient than ever before. They act only on the surface of the skin, with the result that the skin cannot absorb any additives and the body is not required to break them down. HOMBITEC RM 130 F particles used as additives in transparent films for the foodstuffs sector in addition prevent harm to the foods they wrap.
Used as an advanced additive for wood protection products, the transparent titanium dioxide particles of the HOMBITEC RM range protect light coloured woods against darkening and yellowing in an extremely broad range of applications. The automotive industry also makes use of the innovative talents of titanium dioxide; the ultrafine particles of HOMBITEC RM, for example, permit new and fascinating colour nuances in an enormous range of paints and coatings. Constantly changing colours result, depending on the angle at which light strikes them.
In the environmental protection field, HOMBIKAT particles used as a catalyst in coal-fired power generating plant and motor-vehicles, inter alia, optimize the breakdown of the oxides of nitrogen which are generated in combustion processes and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Both photocatalyzed breakdown reactions, for instance in water treatment, and also polycondensation and selective isomerization reactions in organic synthesis, are part of the broad field of application for the HOMBIKAT UV 100 photocatalyst.
SACHTOPERSE, an ultrafine barium-sulfate-based functional additive permits innovative potentials for the optimization of paint properties, espeacally for PCB-coatings.
