High-Precision Coatings for Maximum Performance
Our second business area focuses on highly specialized surface coating for almost all types of materials, excluding paper and cardboard. Using a technologically advanced gas-dynamic process, we coat surfaces up to 15 meters in length, 7.5 meters in width, and 5 meters in height. This process employs state-of-the-art nano-fullerene composites that form a permanent, inseparable bond with the surface, significantly enhancing its physical and chemical properties. Our solutions are tailored for companies that prioritize long-lasting improvements in durability, resilience, and functionality of their products.
The Technology: Gas-Dynamic Coating with Nano Fullerenes
Our gas-dynamic coating technology stands out for its precision and efficiency. In a strictly controlled process, the coating is applied to surfaces under high pressure, ensuring an extremely uniform and flawless layer. This method is particularly efficient for processing large and complex surface structures, allowing us to optimally refine a wide range of materials, from metals and glass to plastics.
A key component of our technology is the use of nano fullerenes. These tiny, hollow carbon molecules, also known as “buckyballs,” are renowned for their exceptional stability and versatility. Thanks to their unique structure, nano fullerenes perfectly adapt to the surface, creating an extremely robust, long-lasting coating that withstands the harshest environmental and mechanical conditions.
Benefits of Our Nano-Fullerene Coatings:
The gas-dynamic coating process enables highly efficient and uniform application of nano fullerenes to almost any surface. Due to the extremely high speed at which the coating is applied, a solid, inseparable bond with the material is formed. This technique ensures that the coatings are applied evenly and precisely across all areas, regardless of the size or complexity of the surface being treated.
The nano-fullerene composites we use offer exceptional benefits in terms of mechanical strength and chemical resistance of the coated materials. Nano fullerenes are known for their stability and resistance to physical stress, temperature fluctuations, and chemical influences, making them ideal for demanding applications where maximum longevity and durability are required.
Our nano-fullerene coatings provide a lasting and significant improvement in material properties. Surfaces become more resistant to external factors such as abrasion, corrosion, UV radiation, and chemical exposure. This leads to a significant extension of product lifespans while reducing maintenance efforts. As a result, our coatings are particularly attractive to companies seeking sustainable and cost-efficient solutions.
Our nano-fullerene coatings offer companies a unique opportunity to significantly enhance their products and surfaces. Whether in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, electronics, or aerospace, our coatings deliver lasting advantages, increase performance, and help reduce costs and maintenance. Thanks to the innovative gas-dynamic process, we provide our customers with precise and efficient solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Our intensive research projects aim to create technologies that not only revolutionize existing markets but also open up entirely new markets and applications.
We firmly believe that technological innovation is the key to a sustainable and secure future. This is why we are dedicated to developing breakthrough technologies in four strategically important areas: energy storage, energy generation, recycling, and medical technology. Below, we present our work and the prospects in these future-oriented fields:
One of the greatest challenges of our time is the efficient storage of energy, particularly in the field of renewable energy. With the growing use of solar, wind, and hydropower, there is an increasing demand for innovative storage technologies that can store energy for extended periods and release it as needed.
Our team is intensively researching the development of high-performance energy storage systems that offer increased capacity and longer lifespan. These new storage solutions are designed to minimize energy loss and significantly improve the efficiency of energy storage for both private and industrial use. We are developing technologies that can be applied in small, decentralized energy systems, such as in homes or businesses, as well as in large-scale, grid-connected energy storage systems.
Objectives:
- Increased energy density: Compact storage systems with high capacity.
- Extended lifespan: Significantly reduced wear and tear to lower costs in the long term.

Efficient resource recycling is a key concern in minimizing the global waste production and ensuring the availability of valuable materials. Our focus is on developing new recycling technologies that enable a broader range of materials to be recycled more efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner.
We are working on technologies that will revolutionize the recycling process by making materials that were previously considered difficult or impossible to recycle, such as plastics, metals, and composites, reusable. Our goal is to make the recycling process not only more efficient but also more economically viable, allowing more businesses to benefit from the circular economy.
Another focus is the recovery of raw materials from old devices and industrial waste. We are leveraging advanced processes to recover rare and valuable raw materials used in electronics and other high-tech products. This reduces the need for resource extraction and conserves the planet’s natural resources.
Our Vision:
