Beyond PFAS: Nanize’s Ultra‑Rapid Curing Polysilazane Coatings Redefine
Sustainable Surface Protection
Introduction
Per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are on regulatory notice worldwide, yet industries still need slick, long‑lasting surfaces. Nanize® coatings solve the dilemma with an environmentally friendly, PFAS‑free, slippery paint that hard‑cures in under 30 seconds at temperatures below 100 °C, no external catalyst required. Their coefficient of friction (COF) sits well below 0.02, crushing legacy Teflon® benchmarks and rewriting what engineers can expect from “non‑stick.”
Why Speed of Cure Matters
● Throughput gains: Converting a conventional 8‑hour polysilazane oven cure to 30 seconds slashes work‑in‑process inventory.
● Energy savings: <100 °C cure enables low‑cost IR lamps or even ambient‑temperature roll‑to‑roll tunnels.
● Design freedom: Heat‑sensitive substrates—TPU films, OLED display stacks, composite wing skins—can finally receive a ceramic‑like barrier without warping.
Coating Physics: Super‑Slippery, Super‑Durable
Nanize combines a nano‑siloxane backbone with covalently bonded functional additives that self‑assemble into a low‑surface‑energy skin. Third‑party tribology labs measured:

Multi‑Substrate Mastery
Validated via FTIR and adhesion pull tests on:
● Stainless steel & aluminium: >8 MPa pull‑off strength.
● Glass: Zero delamination through 500 wet/dry cycles.
● TPU & PET film: Flexible after 1,000 mandrel bends.
● Carbon composites: No micro‑crack propagation under −40 °C ↔ +120 °C thermal cycling.
Application Methods
Compatible with mainstream wet‑chemistry lines:
● Slot‑die coating for uniform micron‑scale layers.
● Ultrasonic spray for complex 3‑D geometries.
● Gravure & reverse‑roll for high‑speed packaging webs. This means OEMs can retrofit Nanize without capital disruption.
Environmental & Regulatory Alignment
Nanize is entirely PFAS free and manufactured in an ISO 14001 facility using >80 % renewable energy. VOCs stay below strict European Decopaint thresholds, and the formulation contains no microplastics per upcoming EU ECHA definitions.
