Suspensions

In surface technology, suspensions play an important role in the creation and modification of surface properties. Suspensions are heterogeneous systems in which solid particles are suspended in a liquid. In surface technology, these suspensions are often used for coating processes in order to provide surfaces with certain properties or to modify them.

Various effects can be achieved by applying suspensions, such as improving abrasion resistance, increasing hardness or creating specific optical effects. The choice of particle size, shape and composition as well as the composition of the liquid and the application technique allow the surface properties to be specifically adapted.

Suspension coatings are used in a wide range of applications, from the automotive industry to electronics and medical device manufacturing. They offer a flexible and effective way of providing surfaces with the desired properties, which can improve the performance and durability of products.
