Consumer Electronics

Substitute expensive inputs with sustainable, high performance, nano-composite coatings.

Consumer demand is driving devices to become smaller, lighter, and more robust.  This requires that components become lighter, while retaining or enhancing their performance.

Components must show improved function under aging conditions, such as thermal and mechanical cycling, and changing humidity levels.

Cirrus Dopant™

Cirrus Dopant™ is a drop-in liquid, nanoparticle additive for deposited coatings that enhances the performance and durability of the surface.

Nanocomposite coatings are known for improved mechanical performance and reduced porosity.  Cirrus Dopant™ is process drop-in additive that introduces a ceramic phase secondary particle to a plating bath. No powder-mixing is required, nor handling of nano-particle materials. The stable nanoparticles uniformly co-deposit into the developing metal coating as it is created producing a true nanocomposite coating.
