American NanoMyte's anticorrosion coating formulations are significantly different from the state-of-the-art and enabled by nanotechnology. Our pretreatment and primer formulations contain functionalized nanometer-sized particles (nanoparticles) with corrosion inhibiting ions incorporated directly into a polymer matrix. Excellent adhesion and barrier properties can be attributed to the proprietary formulation chemistry which also enables efficient transport of the corrosion-inhibiting species.

The American NanoMyte formulations are stable suspensions and the coatings are homogeneous systems at the micro- and macro-scale, since they contain highly dispersed nanoparticles. The nanoparticles represent new compositions, developed by NEI Corporation and exclusively licensed to American NanoMyte, and have not been used until now. The pretreatment, primer and topcoat formulations can be used together as an integrated coating system or separately as standalone treatments, or in conjunction with other commercially available coating products.

American NanoMyte's most advanced technology to date represents a significant breakthrough involving manipulating matter and controlling material properties at the nanometer scale. Their pretreatment formulation is chromate-free, self-healing and requires no abrasion blasting of the metal substrate to use effectively. It is designed to substitute for the chromate-conversion coatings still considered the standard on most ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloy surfaces, as well as replace competitive non-chromate coatings with no self-healing ability that do not provide adequate corrosion protection. The American NanoMyte pretreatment has already been shown to resist corrosion after salt-water immersion and salt-spray tests as well as or better than commercially-available chromate and chromate-free pretreatments, respectively.

The American NanoMyte pretreatment also functions as a "double-sided tape" that improves the bonding between the metal substrate and an overlaying organic layer, such as a primer, applied by powder coating or deposited from a liquid. This in turn improves the wettability of the surface, as well as adhesion and overall finish (paintability) if a topcoat is applied.
