NEI’s line of Abrasion Resistant Coatings impart excellent and durable scratch resistant properties to plastic substrates needed in many applications. The result is enhanced durability and protection, to help preserve and extend the service life of your parts, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and resulting in reduced raw material, labor, & energy costs.
Our abrasion resistant coatings come in two formulations: NANOMYTE® SR-100 (a thermally cured, 2-component coating) and NANOMYTE® SR-100RT (a room temperature cure, single-component coating). Both coatings are versatile and can be applied to a variety of materials and surfaces, including metal, plastic, ceramic, wood, and composites. Application is easy, using standard coating processes (such as dipping, brushing, or spraying) that require no specialized equipment. NEI also supplies a primer product – NANOMYTE® SR-Primer – which works well with a range of plastics to promote adhesion.
NEI’s coatings are are sold and shipped directly from NEI and available in liter or gallon (~3.8L) quantities, as well as higher volumes by request. Additionally, NEI offers in-house coating services for customer’s parts, as well as coating development services, wherein coating formulations are customized to address specific customer requirements.

Transparent plastics, such as polycarbonate, acrylic, and molded parts with a high gloss finish, can scratch and scuff easily, and lose transparency quickly, during routine use and maintenance. NANOMYTE® SR-100 fulfills the need for abrasion or scratch resistant coatings on plastic substrates. It forms a ceramic-like hard surface that is needed in a variety of industrial and consumer applications, such as ophthalmic & sportswear lenses, automobile, airplane windows, and 3D printed parts.
SR-100 Hardcoat offers substantial improvements in resistance to ASTM D1044 abrasion, with delta haze values typically under 1%. In addition to excellent scratch-resistance, SR-100 has very good chemical resistance, remaining unaffected by brief exposure to common household and industrial chemicals which can sometimes seriously degrade bare plastic surfaces. Sensitive polymers, such as polycarbonate, are well protected from solvent attack.
NANOMYTE® SR-100 is a 2-component liquid coating that provides abrasion and scratch resistance by forming a ceramic-like hard surface. The coatings is thermally cured and can be applied on surfaces using standard coating processes, such as dip-coating, spray coating, spin-coating, gravure and reverse gravure.
For complete specifications and instructions, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet.
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Provide good
ventilation or extraction and avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other
sources of ignition. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

NANOMYTE® SR-100RT is a transparent coating designed to provide abrasion and mar resistance to plastic surfaces. The hard, dense, and smooth coating is a nanostructured composite consisting of organic and inorganic phases. The coating resists scratching and chipping. SR-100RT is a single component product that is easily applied by dip, spray, or brush techniques and can be cured at room temperature.

NEI’s Abrasion Resistant coatings can be applied using standard coating processes, such as dipping, brushing, or spraying and requires no specialized equipment. Application instructions are included on the Technical Data Sheet of each coating.
Currently, NEI’s coatings are ambient or thermal cure only. Our UV Protective line of coatings offer enhanced protection from the effects of sun and weather exposure, however they are not UV curable.
We have found that all plastics and a few metals (copper, stainless steel, & nickel) will need pretreatment before applying our coatings in order to promote adhesion between the coating and substrate. This can be achieved by either using a primer or treating the surface to be coated by corona or plasma treatment. One exception is our self-healing coatings, which do not need any primer or surface treatment prior to coating. NEI has a couple of primer formulations available, which work well with a range of plastics.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide free samples for a number of reasons. However, our coatings are available for purchase starting as small as 1 liter. We also provide a coating service for a nominal fee, in order to demonstrate how are coating will work for your particular substrate / application.
The minimum order quantity for most of our coatings is 1 liter.
In some cases, it may be easier and more economical for NEI to coat parts for you. This option allows us to optimize and make recommendations on the application process for your particular substrate, in order to ensure the best coating application and performance. It’s also a great opportunity to try several different coatings on your specific parts to compare and test for your particular application. There is a nominal fee for this service in order to cover our costs, and will depend on the type, size, and quantity of your parts.
Due to certain hazards and regulations, NEI only sells business to business.
