HomeThe nano ceramic coating and repair systems use a hybrid polymer matrix reinforced with nano ceramic flakes. This combination provides strong adhesion to steel and concrete while forming a dense barrier against corrosion, chemicals, and surface contamination. The cold-curing, high-build structure remains effective on surfaces that are not fully dry or ideally prepared. Therefore, system options can be selected based on substrate condition, deterioration level, and service environment, with engineering support available to reduce maintenance downtime.
All materials are produced under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified processes. Field applications include offshore breakwaters, tidal-zone steel structures, wastewater facilities, national bridge and tunnel projects, and pipeline restoration work. The product range includes options certified by NORSOK M 501, Lloyd’s Register, and other international bodies, along with eco-label approved systems for environmentally focused projects.
Nano Ceramic Flake Barrier and Functional Polymer Matrix Technology
Our ceramic-reinforced coating technology is built on a three-component material system consisting of a functional polymer binder, high-aspect-ratio nano ceramic flakes, and ceramic powder filler. Each component plays a defined role: the functional polymer provides substrate bonding and curing performance, the nano ceramic flakes form a layered physical barrier, and the ceramic powder contributes to mechanical strength and long-term durability.
Combined, these three components create a cold curing, high build coating system that delivers long term corrosion protection without hot work, white metal blasting, or fully dry substrates. The system supports rapid field repair, underwater patching, and preventative maintenance while helping reduce downtime and overall maintenance cost.
Functional Polymer Binder
Formulated with silane-modified resins and amino functional siloxane groups, the binder forms a strong chemical bond with steel and concrete substrates. This component provides film cohesion and substrate adhesion even on damp or partially corroded surfaces. It maintains resistance against chemical exposure and surface degradation under thermal or mechanical stress, allowing stable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Nano Ceramic Flake Barrier
Thin plate-like ceramic flakes are dispersed throughout the coating and naturally align during curing to form an overlapping barrier. This layered structure impedes water, salts, and corrosive elements and enhances long term impermeability. The flake barrier is particularly effective in submerged and tidal conditions. The extended diffusion path created by the flakes helps maintain coating integrity over long exposures to moisture and salt.
Ceramic Powder Reinforcement
The ceramic powder filler improves abrasion resistance, hardness, and impact strength in the cured film. By reinforcing the polymer matrix, it increases resistance to surface wear, erosion, and mechanical damage. This property supports reliable performance in pump housings, pipe exteriors, and concrete edges where repeated contact or fluid movement occurs.
What Makes Our Ceramic Technology Different
Layered Nano Ceramic Flake Structure
Nano ceramic flakes with high aspect ratio align horizontally during curing and form an overlapping barrier layer that slows the movement of water, ions, and corrosive factors. Scanning electron microscopy confirms this microstructure by showing continuous horizontal layers in nano ceramic coating samples, while epoxy coating samples display straight and open penetration paths. This layered barrier creates a longer and more complex diffusion path for corrosive elements and supports stable film performance in marine, industrial, and chemical environments.
Furthermore, the barrier effect also contributes to extended coating durability over time. Comparative maintenance observations show that conventional epoxy coatings often require more frequent recoating, while nano ceramic reinforced coating systems maintain service performance for a substantially longer period with minimal reapplication. As a result, infrastructure exposed to moisture, salt, or chemical attack can reduce maintenance cycles and overall life cycle cost.
Diffusion Path Comparison of nano ceramic and epoxy coatings
High Adhesion Performance
The nano ceramic coating and repair composite systems exhibit significantly higher adhesion strength on steel substrates compared with standard epoxy coatings. For example, this performance is demonstrated through comparative adhesion evaluation conducted under the ASTM D4541 procedure, where the ceramic coating recorded more than twice the bonding strength of the epoxy coating under identical test conditions.
Adhesion Performance Comparison of Nano Ceramic and Epoxy Coatings
* Adhesion measurements and comparative data were obtained from testing performed by POSCO. The ceramic coated panel recorded approximately 178.2 kg/cm², while the epoxy coated panel recorded approximately 76.8 kg/cm².
Long Term Corrosion Protection
The nano ceramic coating and repair composite form a dense barrier structure that remains stable under prolonged exposure to corrosive environments. In this evaluation, a 6,000 hour CASS* exposure test was performed on a ceramic coated steel panel and an uncoated steel panel under the same accelerated corrosion conditions. After exposure, the ceramic coated panel shows no visible surface degradation, while the uncoated panel displays extensive rusting and surface breakdown. The visual comparison highlights strong resistance to corrosive progression and stable film retention under harsh exposure.

- Specimen size: 70 mm × 150 mm, thickness (1.0 ± 0.2) mm

Antifouling Behavior from Low Surface Energy Polymer Matrix
The ceramic polymer coating incorporates a silicone modified binder that produces a low surface energy layer at the coating surface. The silicone component contributes to the formation of a uniform boundary layer at the interface. As a result, this surface condition reduces the initial attachment of marine organisms and slows the accumulation of biological deposits under seawater exposure. Field application at a seawater intake structure shows that the coated surface remains visibly cleaner after extended immersion, whereas a comparable epoxy coating exhibits notable marine fouling. This difference demonstrates the effect of the low surface energy polymer matrix in continuous marine environments.

Nano Ceramic Coating and Repair Composite Applications
Infrastructure across marine, civil, water treatment, and transportation facilities is exposed to moisture, vibration, salt, chemicals, elevated-temperature conditions such as those found in power-generation environments, and aging-related surface deterioration. Each application uses a tailored combination of repair compounds, surface conditioners, waterproofing layers, or protective finishes selected according to structural requirements and environmental conditions.
Bridge and Pier Structures
Bridge piers, abutments, and pedestrian overpasses experience surface cracking, spalling, and concrete deterioration caused by repeated vehicle loading, freeze thaw cycles, de icing salts, and long-term moisture exposure. Localized impact and vibration also contribute to progressive surface damage in exposed concrete sections. Our nano ceramic coating and repair composite system restores weakened areas and forms a moisture- and chloride-resistant barrier, improving durability under vibration, salt exposure, and cyclic loading in coastal environments.
Tunnels and Underground Passages
Tunnel walls and ceilings require protection from moisture ingress, staining, and surface deterioration caused by traffic vibration and condensation. Replacing tile-based linings with our nano ceramic coating system prevents tile-fall accidents and eliminates the need for toxic adhesives used in traditional interior finishes.
Offshore and Marine Structures
Offshore platforms, quay walls, steel piles, and jetty structures are exposed to continuous saltwater immersion, wave impact, tidal movement, and marine fouling. Surfaces in the splash zone and submerged areas frequently undergo accelerated corrosion, erosion, and biological attachment due to harsh marine conditions. The nano ceramic coating system used in these environments is supported by NORSOK M-501 and Lloyd’s Register approvals, indicating suitability for marine steel protection and ensuring performance reliability under offshore service conditions.
Water Treatment Facilities
Clarifiers, sedimentation tanks, channels, and pipe galleries in water treatment facilities are exposed to high alkalinity, constant moisture, and abrasion from flowing water. Concrete surfaces can weaken over time due to chemical contact and repeated wetting cycles. Our nano ceramic coating and repair system reinforces worn concrete and provides a chemical-resistant, water-tight barrier suited for continuous wet operation in water treatment environments.
Section and Surface Repair
Damaged concrete sections, cracked surfaces, and areas with section loss appear across aging civil and industrial structures. Repeated loading, freeze thaw cycles, and long-term moisture exposure often result in weakened or uneven surface profiles. A nano ceramic coating and repair composite system restores deteriorated sections and creates a durable protective layer that stabilizes surfaces under mechanical and environmental stress.
Anti-graffiti and Anti-attachment Coatings
The anti-graffiti and anti-attachment coating uses a nano ceramic flake structure that blocks pollutant penetration and prevents poster and sticker adhesion on steel and concrete surfaces. The coating reduces the diffusion coefficient and suppresses carbonation and chloride ingress, maintaining long-term durability even under continuous outdoor exposure. Its high-contamination resistance allows rapid cleaning without abrasion damage, lowering maintenance costs for public structures. Multiple application methods including coating, sheet, and protruding systems support site-specific installation for utility poles, signal lights, guardrails, and public facilities. The system improves city aesthetics by preventing unauthorized attachments and delivering stable anti-soiling performance.
Roof Coatings and Floor Waterproofing
The roof and floor waterproofing system forms a continuous nano ceramic flake membrane that blocks moisture penetration and enhances long-term concrete protection. Its ceramic-reinforced film resists cracking, thermal cycling, and UV exposure, maintaining waterproofing performance under severe rooftop conditions. The system suppresses carbonation and chloride infiltration, improving structural durability for exposed slabs and building roofs. Uniform film formation enables stable coverage on irregular surfaces and minimizes deterioration caused by ponding water. The waterproofing layer provides long-service performance with reduced maintenance requirements, supported by validated test data from KS F waterproofing and protective coating evaluations.
Field-Proven Industrial Case Studies: Marine Coating, Tidal-Zone Steel Repair, Coastal Concrete Restoration, Pipeline & Pump Repair, and Underwater Pile Repair
Decades of field application across government infrastructure programs, national civil engineering projects, and industrial maintenance work have established the nano ceramic coating and repair composite system as a reliable solution for long term protection of steel and concrete structures. As a result, the materials have been applied across dams, bridges, tunnels, reservoirs, wastewater facilities, power generation sites, and coastal structures. These sites commonly operate under mechanical vibration, abrasion, cyclic loading, and chemically aggressive exposure in both dry and wet environments.
Hundreds of verified project records and field photographs demonstrate consistent performance in corrosion control, structural reinforcement, and high durability protective coating applications. The following examples highlight four representative cases selected from a significantly broader project portfolio. They illustrate how the nano ceramic polymer system supports long term structural restoration and service life extension across marine, civil, transportation, and industrial facilities.
CASE 1: Sluice Gate Steel Protective Coating System
The project involved applying a nano ceramic protective coating to large steel sluice gates used for coastal water control. The project team coated the full exterior surfaces of the gate panels and structural frames, creating a continuous and uniform finish across all steel components. As part of a multi-year national coastal infrastructure program, the work required consistent corrosion protection across multiple large structures operating under harsh marine conditions. Additionally, long-term field comparison pictures from the same site show that sections coated with conventional epoxy materials displayed visible degradation, while the nano ceramic coating maintained a stable surface profile in identical coastal exposure.

CASE 2: Underwater Ceramic Taping Repair and Structural Reinforcement System
The project focused on repairing corroded steel pipe piles at a naval marine facility where long-term seawater exposure caused severe section loss. Continuous salt exposure, tidal movement, oxygen ingress, and microbiologically influenced corrosion accelerated deterioration across the intertidal zone.
Underwater repair crews reinforced the submerged sections directly in active seawater conditions. After stabilizing the damaged surfaces, technicians applied a ceramic taping system using a high-adhesion ceramic resin and reinforcing fibers to rebuild the pile circumference. Subsequently, a ceramic protective coating improved chloride resistance, slowed long-term corrosion progression, and strengthened durability for underwater pile repair in harsh marine environments.

Subsequently, a ceramic protective coating was added to complete the repair. The restored pipe section later demonstrated recovered wall thickness and stable pressure performance under coastal water system conditions.

They rebuilt the damaged areas using a thick-film ceramic repair system to recover the original geometry, and they applied a wear-resistant ceramic protective coating to prevent further damage. The optimized system allowed the repair team to complete all work on-site without pump disassembly or replacement, minimizing equipment downtime and supporting stable plant operation.

To address these issues, the team completed the repair in a stepwise sequence that included surface preparation, primer application, reinforcement protection, section restoration, and protective coating. Finally, they applied a salt-resistant coating system to enhance durability and maintain structural stability under repeated wet–dry cycling in the coastal environment.
