Nanogate SE is starting to market a new platform to replace stainless steel and is already engaged in initial project talks. The addition of U.S. subsidiary Nanogate Jay Systems' new applications expands Nanogate's technology portfolio N-Metals Design into plastics metallization. The new technology is based on innovative forming processes and subsequent multifunctional enhancement. The process involves the use of heat-resistant plastic, which is metalized with a stainless steel look in a PVD process developed by Nanogate. Various surface variations are possible. Overall, Nanogate envisages global market volume in the three-figure million euro range for design-oriented plastic components of the high optical quality that can replace stainless steel, for example, in kitchens or bathrooms.
