Greek ‘smart’ coatings manufacturing company, NanoPhos Marine, has been rewarded for successfully introducing into the shipping market advanced coating solutions, harnessing the power of nanotechnology. Being a pioneer in this field, the company has succeeded in conducting all the scientific research to include energy-saving and easily applicable products into its portfolio.
In particular, company’s scientific team has devoted years of meticulous research and thorough laboratory experiments, to develop a complete, nanotechnology-engineered product portfolio of anti-corrosive, thermal insulating, antifouling or other products, in order to provide “intelligent” solutions to common problems of the marine field.
Thus, in early November, NanoPhos received the “Technical Achievement Award”, during the 2017 Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards.
”We are very proud for what we have accomplished. Some years ago, when we spread the word of robotic coatings that can change their properties according to external stimuli, self-healing and thermal insulating paints, copper-free antifouling systems with roughness less than 40 microns, nano-pillows for abrasion resistance, fuel-efficiency, eco/green character – nobody could believe that a Greek company can stand against multi-billion turnover multinational competitors.” said Dr. Ioannis Arampatzis, NanoPhos’ founder
NanoPhos products are purely Greek, as they are being developed and produced in Greece, Dr. Arampatzis highlighted.
The company has a team of brilliant researchers in applying science in real life, solving existing problems.
”In Greece, we still have the brightest ideas and brightest minds. We customize, adapt, innovate, perform, valorise the coatings industry. We deliver what others cannot.” Dr. Arampatzis concluded.
