Nanomaterials for surface technology are at the forefront because an extremely high multiplication factor is achieved here: Extraordinary technological effects can be produced even with small quantities of tailor-made nanomaterials. Products with nanocoatings can in many ways help enterprises to gain a competitive advantage.

EPG's surface technology focuses on the following three business sectors, some of which are in part still being established:

-New high performance metal coatings

-Hygienic surface technologies

-New high performance surface technology on plastics with special functions and special focus on intelligent films and for optics.

The fourth sector comprises multifunctional high-performance binding agents on a nanotechnology basis with special focus on

-new technologies for energy saving, crude oil and natural gas production.
