Do coatings with multiple components need to be purchased separately?
No, all of our multi-component coatings are provided as a ready-to-mix kit. For example, a purchase for 1 liter of coating will include the appropriate weight ratio of all components needed to mix and create 1L of that coating.
How are your coatings applied?
NEI’s Anti-fog coating can be applied using standard coating processes, such as spraying, dipping, or flow coating and is thermally cured. For applications where a primer is necessary (such as polymer substrates), NEI supplies a primer product (NANOMYTE® SR-Primer) which works well with a range of plastics. Application instructions are included on the Technical Data Sheet of each coating.
Do I need a primer?
We have found that all plastics and a few metals (copper, stainless steel, & nickel) will need pretreatment before applying our coatings in order to promote adhesion between the coating and substrate. This can be achieved by either using a primer or treating the surface to be coated by corona or plasma treatment. One exception is our self-healing coatings, which do not need any primer or surface treatment prior to coating. NEI has a couple of primer formulations available, which work well with a range of plastics.
Do you have any UV-cured coatings?
Currently, NEI’s coatings are ambient or thermal cure only. Our UV Protective line of coatings offer enhanced protection from the effects of sun and weather exposure, however they are not UV curable.
Can I have a free sample to see if it works for my application?
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide free samples for a number of reasons. However, our coatings are available for purchase starting as small as 1 liter. We also provide a coating service for a nominal fee, in order to demonstrate how are coating will work for your particular substrate / application.
What is the minimum order quantity for your coatings?
The minimum order quantity for most of our coatings is 1 liter.
How does your Coating Service work?
In some cases, it may be easier and more economical for NEI to coat parts for you. This option allows us to optimize and make recommendations on the application process for your particular substrate, in order to ensure the best coating application and performance. It’s also a great opportunity to try several different coatings on your specific parts to compare and test for your particular application. There is a nominal fee for this service in order to cover our costs, and will depend on the type, size, and quantity of your parts.
Can coatings be purchased for personal use?
Due to certain hazards and regulations, NEI only sells business to business.

NEI sells and ships it’s coatings directly from Somerset, NJ. We accept company and university purchase orders, or we can provide you with an order form. We can also accept orders through third-party buyers. We do not currently have any distributors or agents for our coatings.
