ItN <strong>Nano</strong>vation AG is a two bus<strong>in</strong>ess segment company which develops <strong>in</strong>novative and<br />
nanotechnology-based ceramic products.<br />
In our bus<strong>in</strong>ess segment “Ceramic Coat<strong>in</strong>gs”, we manufacture protective and catalytic<br />
coat<strong>in</strong>gs that conta<strong>in</strong> nanoparticles and can be simply applied by spray<strong>in</strong>g or dipp<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The protective coat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Nano</strong>comp PowerPlant prevents slagg<strong>in</strong>g and corrosion <strong>in</strong> waste<br />
<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration plants, blast furnaces and coal-fired power plants. Without the product, slags up to<br />
50 cm thick accumulate on a plantʼs heat exchange tubes with<strong>in</strong> a few months and make high<br />
expense and costs for removal <strong>in</strong>evitable. <strong>Nano</strong>comp MetCast provides an excellent nonwett<strong>in</strong>g<br />
behaviour to molten non-ferrous metal melts and protects equipment (e.g. moulds,<br />
ducts, ladels, transport and measur<strong>in</strong>g conta<strong>in</strong>ers or boiler tubes) from destruction, thus<br />
extend<strong>in</strong>g their service life and sav<strong>in</strong>g ma<strong>in</strong>tenance costs.<br />
The highly porous catalytically active coat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Nano</strong>cat has an extremely large surface:<br />
its self-clean<strong>in</strong>g property is used for household ovens and cookers (e.g. Bosch-Siemens<br />
Hausgerate), <strong>in</strong>dustrial ovens, flue-gas clean<strong>in</strong>g and chemical synthesis.<br />
In our “Filtration and parts” bus<strong>in</strong>ess segment, we manufacture ceramic membrane filters<br />
conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g nanoparticles under the registered trademark <strong>Nano</strong>pore and membrane filtration<br />
systems consist<strong>in</strong>g of multiple filter modules. Our filtration products can be used for dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g<br />
water purification, as beverage filters, for the separation of oil and water (e.g. on drill<strong>in</strong>g<br />
platforms) and waste water treatment. For use <strong>in</strong> stationary and mobile small-scale sewage<br />
plants for water process<strong>in</strong>g, we provide Compact Ceramic Filter Membrane Systems (CFM<br />
Systems) comprised of filter membranes coated with nanoparticles.<br />
ItN <strong>Nano</strong>vation was formed <strong>in</strong> 2000 and currently has over 80 employees. Our strategy is<br />
founded on an extensive patent portfolio, comb<strong>in</strong>ed with comprehensive development and<br />
application experience. Our know-how <strong>in</strong> produc<strong>in</strong>g non-agglomerat<strong>in</strong>g nano-powders<br />
and process<strong>in</strong>g them to <strong>in</strong>novative products makes us one of the lead<strong>in</strong>g nanotechnology<br />
companies <strong>in</strong> the world.
