aido provides services of the formulation and physical characterisation of coatings (paints, varnishes...) incorporating nanoparticles and/or nanopigments:
• Formulation of coatings:
- Determination of components and necessary proportions in mixtures depending on the final use to be given to the coating
• Characterisation:
- Study of the characteristics of absorption, transmission, and reflection in the visible area, ultraviolet, and adjacent infrared.
- Coatings (adherence, aging…)

Development of paints to achieve new functional properties (photoluminiscent, thermochromic, photochromic…), together with new aesthetic effects (of colour, of texture...)
|
Advising the company on the type of tests to be carried out during the manufacturing process, checking the physical parameters of the paints (colour and shine, adherence, viscosity, density, fixed non volatile material) to obtain the desired finish.
|
Advising the company on the type of tests to be carried out during the manufacturing process of powder paints, checking the physical parameters to be taken into account (granulometry of the powder, adherence, layer thickness) of the paints to obtain the desired finish.
|
This optimisation allows, by means of work on the database and knowledge of how the system carries out the calculations, the optimisation of the system in such a way as to reduce the number of iterations necessary to obtain the colour determined by the client.
|
Advising the company on changing from a manufacturing process of paint with an organic base to a manufacturing process based on water/powder.
|
Recommendations on the raw materials of suppliers that follow REACH regulations to ensure the quality of the end-product.
