Permanent release coatings for metal melts
Most large primary smelters around the world use our Nanocomp coatings to replace short-lived release agents with semi-permanent ceramic protection. Sustainability and cost efficiency are just as much a motivation as the increased quality of the end products. Ceranovis offers Nanocomp products for metal molds and refractory materials. A special sealing technology protects substrates of all kinds from attack by aggressive molten metals.
Ceranovis has been a leader in release coatings for metal molds for 20 years. They are used for ingot casting of all formats. They usually replace oil or graphite release agents, which burn during use and create hazards, combustion gases and residues on the end products. This is efficiently avoided by the durable ceramic coating of the Nanocomp MI series.

ST Series - permanent protection coatings for mineral and ceramic launders
Nanocomp ST s a protective coating that contains boron nitride and combines the properties of pure boron nitride with the abrasion resistance of a nanoceramic coating. It is applied thinly to mineral or ceramic substrates.
Nanocomp ST protects the melt and the substrate. Wear is extremely low. Spalling that can get into the melt is avoided.
In addition to products for aluminum melts, coatings for Cu, Mg, Zn, Pb and their alloys are also available.
