IISB insights - worth knowing in 90 sec

Functional Coatings

Video /

Based on our expertise in the field of coatings, we are developing a novel technology for ultra-high-temperature-resistant protective coatings for space applications. The IISBinsights video gives you a brief insight into this.

Our research in this area focusses on the application of ceramic protective coatings to fiber composites using powder coating technology. The goal is to bring the advantages of fiber composite components, such as high breaking elongation, high crack resistance, and high dynamic load capacity, to new applications by increasing heat and oxidation resistance as well as improved mechanical abrasion resistance.

The patented technology offers a significant cost advantage over conventional coating processes and is also suitable for repairing components. It can be used to increase the efficiency of drives and the exposure time of re-entry vehicles. The protective coatings can also be used in aircraft and helicopter engines and gas turbines.
