actnano’s focus has always been on human-health and the environment
CAMBRIDGE Mass., April 21, 2022 – actnano’s Advanced nanoGUARD is setting new standards for electronics protection with its fluorine-free water and environmental resistant technology.
“One of the primary reasons we created Advanced nanoGUARD was to rid factories of harmful chemicals found in traditional coatings,” Taymur Ahmad, CEO explains. “I’ve seen firsthand how these chemicals can affect factory operators and knew that we needed a better solution.”
Traditional electronics coatings rely on harmful perfluorochemicals (PFCs) to obtain their water and heat resistance qualities. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), along with other fluorinated compounds have already been banned in over 160 countries. This ban was put in place for environmental protection as well as to protect workers from exposure to these dangerous chemicals.
“Fluorine is a highly toxic chemical element,” Ahmad continues. “Only Advanced nanoGUARD offers a fluorine-free solution that is REACH and RoHS compliant and provides 100% 3-D electronics protection.”
actnano, Inc. is a global leader in surface protection technologies for automotive and consumer electronics. The company’s innovative technologies can be applied directly on connectors, antennas, LEDs, and high-heat generating components providing the most comprehensive electronics protection, while also protecting the health and safety of workers and the environment.
