The Future of Coatings:
Effective. Efficient. Safer.
actnano was founded on a singular, uncompromising mission: to replace toxic, outdated protection methods with a smarter, safer alternative. For decades, the electronics industry has relied on hazardous solvents, harmful reactive toxins, and "forever chemicals" like PFAS that compromise both human health and the environment. We’ve rewritten that script.
Our Advanced nanoGUARD technology provides world-class environmental protection without the use of PFAS or harmful materials. By harmonizing elite performance with environmental integrity, we help our partners stay ahead of global regulations and protect the people who build and use their products. At actnano, we don't just protect devices; we protect the future.
Why fluorine-free?
Fluorine is an integral part of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These are highly-toxic man-made chemicals numbering in the thousands. Many companies use fluorine/PFAS for its water resistance properties, however these “forever chemicals” do not degrade in the environment. PFAS can contaminate the air, water, and soil exposing people and wildlife harmful health effects. PFAS is linked to a variety of conditions like thyroid disease, liver and kidney damage, and low fertility, and continues to expand.
A global effort against PFAS
actnano is committed to providing effective PFAS-free solutions through our intentional fluorine-free design and production. We are part of a growing global effort to remove PFAS from supply chains.
- producers of PFAS-containing coatings are proactively phasing out offerings like 3M’s Novec product line
- consumer companies like Apple have committed to removing all PFAS from their products
- retailers like Target are working to provide safer offerings for their customers
