Organisation profile
TECNOLOGIA NAVARRA DE NANOPRODUCTOS S. L. (TECNAN), is a company established in 2007
in Los Arcos (Navarra-Spain). It manufactures advanced industrial scale nanoparticles (nano-simple and
complex oxides, nanophosphates and nanocarbonates) as well as other consumer products based on
these (water repellent, stain resistant, repelling rain, etc..) for multisectoral applications, having become
one of the most competitive suppliers of these new materials nationally and internationally.
TECNAN is committed to continuous improvements and constantly works on expanding its portfolio,
offering its customers nanoparticles with small particle sizes (7-25 nm), high purity and higher structural
varieties. These can be brought into the market as new high-quality raw materials for high-tech industrial
applications. Besides, TECNAN provides its nanoparticles not only in powder form but also dispersed in
liquid media and master batches of these polymeric matrix with high stability, in different percentages and
with reduced particle sizes, all of them according to customer requirements.
Among the most strategic TECNAN customers some Asian (mainly) and European multinational
corporations such as Honda, Yamaha, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Sony, Canon, Samsung, Panasonic, ABCR,
Byk, Fujifilm, Hitachi, Konica Minolta, etc. could be highlighted. TECNAN at all times follows in
customer’s footsteps in their own development, ensuring specific requirements demanded are at all times
accomplished by the nanoparticles and dispersions developed.
Main capacities in nanotechnology/nanoscience
The flexibility of the production techniques employed by TECNAN allows the preparation of a wide range
of customized nanomaterials which can be used in many different industries, including automotive,
energy, construction, textile, cosmetics, paints and varnishes, chemical, etc.
In addition to its commitment to service to industry sector, the quality of its products and ongoing
commitment to improve them as well as its production process is the key advantage which distinguishes
TECNAN over other companies is a remarkable production capacity while maintaining excellent quality
and purity and can satisfy the demands of many different customers. TECNAN nanosynthesisis employs
advanced techniques which allow to market nano-oxides and other compounds (carbonates, phosphates
...) of more than 60 elements of the periodic system. Moreover, the techniques used allow the production
of these nanomaterials with a competitive cost and in a flexible manner which respects the environment
and not originating or waste or byproducts.
