Treating process

Surface treatment using carbon nanotubes, a world-first new dream material

World’s first uniformly dispersed carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes have several times the tensile strength of steel and have high conductivity: they are a next-generation carbon material. Without being mixed with resin, the conductivity of the carbon nanotube materials cause corrosion, so they were not suitable as a coating for anti-corrosion purposes, however, Takenaka’s unique technology called “grafting” successfully blocks the conductivity and disperses the carbon nanotubes uniformly and at high density. The result has been a fusion of the strength of carbon nanotubes with Takenaka’s anticorrosion technology to create surface treatment, NANOTECT®.
