Innovations for surfaces

We develop aerospace technologies that make surfaces more durable, more efficient and safer.

Energy efficiency | Lightweight solutions

  • High-performance thermal barrier coatings on turbine blades
  • Roll-to-roll coating of Si thin-film electrodes for ultra-light batteries
  • Functionalized plastic window elements instead of glass (anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, anti-icing, etc.)
  • Functionalized ultra-thin glass for PV cover glass (anti-reflective)
  • Metallized micro hollow spheres as filler for ultra-light EMC protection elements

Durability and safety | Technical cleanliness and hygiene

  • Customer-specific cleaning processes and cleanliness concepts for components in production and maintenance as well as cabin hygiene - including damage analysis and quality assurance
  • Antipathogene or antimicrobial surfaces 
  • Innovative Anti-corrosion coating on bulk materials such as connector elements

Concepts for manufacturing in space

  • Material-saving thin-film processes
  • Flash Lamp Annealing (FLA) of layers and surfaces instead of oven processes
