In our Functional Coatings Lab, we enable functional coatings to be produced using electron beam-assisted grafting of hydrogels, curing of UV coatings or plasma polymerisation.
Our Offer
Depending on your application and the material to be coated, we work with you to define the best strategy for the coating. Functions include, for example, tailor-made wettability with various media, adhesion promotion or enzyme immobilization for applications in medical technology.
