Recognizing that new users of nanomaterials will experience learning curve difficulties relating to handling and formulating nanoparticles, we offer a "solutions" approach to customers. If nanoparticles are not dispersed properly in solution, many of their beneficial properties targeted for the product can be lost. Air Products' Performance Material group has more than 40 years experience in developing chemistries and processes to stabilize the most intricate dispersions. We have applied that knowledge into patented technology to create stable nanoparticle dispersions in aqueous, solvent-borne and 100% solids systems. To assure optimum performance, only the highest quality nanoparticles are used . . . particles that disperse uniformly and are consistently sized. By supplying ready-to-use nanoparticle dispersions, we eliminate the need for customers to disperse the particles themselves, and the hassles of handling dry powders.

Air Products offers a series of standard nanoparticle dispersions specifically tailored for the development of transparent, colorless coatings with antistatic, conductive, fade-resistant and heat-blocking properties. Custom dispersions are also available. Our application engineers look forward to the opportunity to discuss your unique application. They will help determine the right particles and the best dispersing system to add-in needed properties to your system.
