n 2012 the total cost of corrosion in the US exceeded $1 trillion annually for the rst time; this has been a signicant step in the eect of corrosion on the U.S. Instead, in 2011, as mentioned in a widely-cited study by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, NACE, the direct cost of corrosion was 3.1% of the 15.1 Trillion U.S. GDP, which in 2011 was equal to $ 468.1 Billion and estimated more than 200 billion in Europe. These data show the increasing need for more eective and less costly protective coatings. At the same time EU and government regulations are driving demand for lower content of chemicals in coatings. Nanotechnology oers great potential for creating materials and systems with properties and functions not currently available. Polymer nanocomposites possess superior physical characteristics and mechanical performance. They have found extensive applications in aerospace, defence, aviation, transportation, marine and sports and recreation industries. Novel additives, nano-sized resins and coating formulations incorporating one or both of these technologies are now commercially available. Nanotechnology is already being applied in specic cases such as nanomaterials that enable the controlled release of corrosion inhibitors. However, very few paint and coatings containing nanoparticles have reached the market and found wide application. The result of this need for innovation and for cost eciency in the corrosion protection eld is a nanostructured protective coating which combines the traditional know-how of coating formulation with nanotechnology. The extensive research & development brought to the formulation of nanocoatings after 3 years and was held by Nanto team under the direction of Roberto Cafagna and prof. Samuel Kenig in cooperation with the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Tel Aviv and the University of Trento for products testing. Nanto Protective Coating Srl is the company - founded in 2010 - which is proprietary of the patented nanoclay formulations designed to improve viscosity and barrier properties of coatings and polymer by increasing the barrier eect to oxygen, humidity and chemical agents. This technology has also a positive impact in terms of delamination resistance, impact resistance, colour and gloss retention (UV resistance). In 2008, after more than six years of scientic research, NPCs Technical Director for nanoclay functionalization and new production plant Prof. Samuel Kenig, (Shenkar University of

el 2012 il costo totale della corrosione negli USA ha superato per la prima volta il triliardo di dollari lanno; si tratta di un passo signicativo negli eetti della corrosione sugli Stati Uniti. Al contrario, nel 2011, come accennato in uno studio ampiamente citato della NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) il costo diretto della corrosione era stato del 3,1% del PIL totale USA di 15,1 trilioni di dollari, che nel 2011 corrispondeva a $ 468,1 miliardi. In Europa stimato essere di 200 miliardi di euro. Questi dati mostrano la crescente necessit di rivestimenti protettivi pi ecaci e meno costosi. Allo stesso tempo, le norme dellUnione Europea stanno stimolando la domanda di rivestimenti con basso contenuto di sostanze chimiche. Le nanotecnoIogie orono grande potenzialit per la creazione di materiali e sistemi con propriet e funzioni attualmente non disponibili. I nano-compositi polimerici possiedono caratteristiche siche e resistenze meccaniche superiori. Hanno trovato ampia applicazione nei settori aerospaziale, della difesa, dellaviazione, dei trasporti, della nautica e nellindustria dello sport e ricreativa. Nuovi nano-additivi, resine nanometriche e formulazioni di vernici che incorporano una o entrambe le tecnologie sono oggi disponibili in commercio. Le nanotecnologie sono gi applicate in alcuni casi specici come nano-materiali che consentono il rilascio controllato di inibitori della corrosione. Tuttavia, pochissime vernici contenenti nano particelle hanno raggiunto il mercato o trovato vasta applicazione. ll risultato di questo bisogno dinnovazione un rivestimento protettivo nano-strutturato, che unisce il tradizionale know-how formulativo con la nanotecnologia. Lestesa attivit di ricerca e sviluppo ha portato alla formulazione delle nano-coating dopo tre anni ed stata condotta dal team Nanto sotto la direzione di Roberto Cafagna e del prof. Samuel Kenig in collaborazione con lo Shenkar College of Engineering and Design di Tel Aviv e dellUniversit di Trento per i testing dei prodotti. Nanto Protective Coating Srl lazienda, fondata nel 2010, che detiene il brevetto della formulazione dei nanoclay progettati per migliorare la viscosit e le propriet di barriera di vernici e polimeri, in grado di aumentare leetto protettivo nei confronti di ossigeno, umidit e agenti chimici. Questa tecnologia ha anche una ricaduta positiva in termini di resistenza alla delaminazione, allimpatto, ritenzione del colore e della brillantezza (resistenza agli UV). Nel 2008, dopo oltre sei anni di ricerca scientica, Il direttore tecnico di NPC per la funzionalizzazione delle nanoclay e del nuovo impianto produttivo Prof. Samuel Kenig (Shenkar University di Tel Aviv) condusse i test iniziali insieme al team italiano di Nanto.

The Technology: Introduction to Nanoclays

Nanoclays (montmorillonite) are composed of layered aluminosilicates bound together by Na+ ions (Fig. 1). In nature they form a closed structure that, to be useful, has to be delaminated (exfoliated). When eectively exfoliated the single layer is 1 nm thick and has a surface area of (0.5-1m) x (0.5-1m). The surface area of exfoliated Nanoclays is 700 m2/gr.

La tecnologia: introduzione ai nanoclay

I nanoclay (montmorillonite) sono composti alluminio-silicati straticati legati insieme da ioni Na+ (g. 1). In natura essi formano una struttura chiusa che, per essere utile, deve essere delaminata (esfoliata). Quando viene esfoliata in modo ecace, il singolo strato ha uno spessore di 1 nm e ha una supercie di (0,5-1 m) x (0,5-1 m). La supercie dei nanoclay esfoliati di 700 m2/gr.

Structure and composition of nanoclays. Struttura e composizione dei nanoclay.

The Technology: The principle

Proper exfoliation and orientation of the nanoclay (Fig. 2) platelets reduce permeability in the paint system. Reduction of permeability is attributed to the tortuous path available for diusion of gases (oxygen) and liquids (water). The reduction of permeability results in corrosion inhibition of metal structures (Fig. 3).

La tecnologia: il principio
Lesfoliazione e lorientamento corretto delle piastrine dei nanoclay (g. 2) riducono la permeabilit del sistema di pitturazione. Questa riduzione attribuibile al percorso tortuoso disponibile per la diusione dei gas (ossigeno) e dei liquidi (acqua). La riduzione della permeabilit ha come risultato linibizione della corrosione nelle strutture metalliche (g. 3).
