Buhler Nanotechnology develops and manufactures dispersions of nanoscaled metal oxides by a combination of chemical and mechanical expertise. Buhler Nanotechnology is part of Buhler Group, a global leader in the field of process engineering. Buhler Nanotechnology converts agglomerated metal oxide nanopow-ders into stable nano dispersions using a che-momechanical process. The process combines chemical surface modification and mechanical stress. The technology enables dispersing nanoparticles into various liquids like water, organic solvents, monomers, and product formulations. Buhler formulates such dispersions further into ready-to-use additives to achieve highest performance, efficiency and compatibility. A major product is Oxylink, a formulated additive for water-based coatings. It results in improved resistance properties such as solvent rub, blocking, humidity, and efflorescence resistance. In addition it accelerates drying without reducing the open time.
