Interested in technology to improve the durability of the coatings in end-products such as mobile devices, cars or wind turbine blades? Read our proposal of self-healing coatings.

1. Additives for Self-Healing Coatings

2. Benefits of self healing coatings
Increased asset service life (i.e. infrastructure or automotive part)
Easy repair: lower total cost of ownership
Lower total environmental impact
Improved part functionality & reliability

3. Market opportunities for self healing coatings
Wind turbine blades
Aerospace
High-end automotive
Consumer mobile devices

4. Formulate your own self healing coatings with TNO!
Dedicated for paint manufacturers:
TNO additive technology for paint formulations
TNO IP & scientific track record for Diels-Alder self healing properties
A. TNO patent WO 2010044661
B. TNO patent WO 2009/072888
