Nanotect® – a composite lubricant coating for carbon nanotubes
Nanotect® is a high-strength compound film that uses a special grafting technology to uniformly compound high-density carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to organic polymer. This creates a surface with the reciprocal physical properties of film strength and ductility greatly amplified for the organic polymer. This improvement provides resistance to impact and shearing, protects the organic polymer against wear and provides lubrication. This grafting technology effectively blocks the conductivity of the CNTs, ensuring the film has a strong resistance to corrosion.

Abrasion Resistance Verification
Rotary Abrasion Test
Among the Nanotect® lineup, Nanotect® A provides the greatest protection against abrasion, demonstrating a durability at least 14 times that of ordinary organic polymer film in rotary abrasion testing.
Impact and Abrasion Testing
This vibration test vividly demonstrates how Nanotect® provides impact and abrasion resistance vastly superior to ordinary organic polymers.
Impact Resistance Verification
Instantaneous Impact Resistance Test
Nanotect® demonstrates a resistance to instantaneous impact energy more than 15 times that of ordinary organic polymers.
Compound Adhesion Test
In an impact test and a cross-cut adhesion test, Nanotect® demonstrates superior adhesion over ordinary organic polymers.
Corrosion Resistance Verification
Salt Spray Test
The grafting technology of Nanotect® produces a nano-cover of insulating polymer on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNT), effectively stopping CNT
conductivity and providing superior coating corrosion resistance. Nanotect® C provides particularly strong corrosion resistance, lasting more than 3000 hours in the salt spray test.
