THE FORGE NANO ADVANTAGE

Forge Nano has developed proprietary, scaleable ALD equipment and process expertise to deliver precision coatings across a range of product applications.

Our portfolio of equipment and services enables us work with you from research demonstrations through commercial scale production

FAST, EFFECTIVE, AFFORDABLE

Forge Nano’s manufacturing processes have been refined not only for  quality but for efficiency. Your products can be coated faster and at a lower cost than ever before possible.

With our technology, new products can be manufactured at a scale and cost that opens the world of nano-coating to new industries.

A Host of Material Benefits

Forge Nano specializes in nano-scale surface coatings, including:

Corrosion resistance  |  Oxidation resistance  |  Improved dispersion  |  Reduced viscosity  |  Dielectric properties  |  Electrical conduction  |  Electrical insulation  |  Ion conduction with corrosion resistance  |  Improved strength  |  Improved bonding  |  Greater catalytic activity  |  Resistance to coking  |  Optical tuning  |  Adherence base layer

No Boundaries Necessary

We coat your products in our facilities, or we can license our technology to you, and sell you the equipment you need. Forge Nano can help you set up precision nano-coating capabilities in your own factory. Our solutions use minimal floor space and enable the full integration of coatings into your manufacturing process.

Forge Nano works with everyone from startups to OEMs and material suppliers.

Strong Bonds, Stronger Products

Forge Nano has taken a revolutionary technology born and refined in a university laboratory and brought it to scale for real world applications at real world prices.

Precision nano-coating produces a chemical bond with your material that will not flake or separate. Our quality control techniques are similarly rigorous to ensure that you get what you pay for.

Our production approach works particularly well for:

  • Handling and coating air-sensitive materials found in Li-ion batteries
  • Nanoscale metal powders for electrodes used in electronic devices
  • Hygroscopic halide-based materials, and many others
 

With direct glovebox inter-connectivity, Forge Nano is able to easily convey and coat these materials in-line and in an all inert environment.

 

Li-ion Batteries, and Beyond

It’s well documented that nanometer-thick ceramic coatings on cathode powders protect Li-ion batteries against electrode-electrolyte degradation. This protective barrier lengthens battery life and protects batteries against high temperatures and fast cycle rates, resulting in safer and more versatile Li-ion materials.

Precision nano-coatings on Li-ion battery materials enable the safe and profitable use of several new high-capacity/high-voltage chemistries that were not viable previously.

Precision Nano-Coating Applications

Forge Nano develops custom coating chemistries to meet the precise needs of customer applications. Our systems monitors process conditions and tune reaction variables in-situ to provide efficient precursor utilization. Our coating highlights include:

  • High temperature processing
  • Coating capabilities including oxides, nitrides, base metals, phosphates and fluorides
  • Minimum particle batches as small as 1g
  • High throughput processing for runs of 1000 kg and greater
