Company

At Surfactis Technologies we develop, manufacture and commercialize easy-to-apply oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings that form an ultra-strong bond with a multitude of surfaces.

Our state-of-the-art solutions are employed across a variety of industries: :

watchmaking;
mechatronics;
oil & gas.

We supply prestigious watch manufacturers around the world with proprietary epilames to protect their delicate watch movements, and our high-performance solutions now set the benchmark in this extremely demanding industry.

Our next-generation oil-repellent coatings are used across the mechatronics industry to enhance the reliability of micro-motors, whilst simultaneously extending their lifespan. Our customers are world’s leading manufacturers of micro-motors for the automotive, medtech and aeronautic industries.

We also supply high-performance hydrocarbon-repellent coatings that impart anti-paraffin clogging properties to the metallic surfaces of instruments – a must in the oil & gas industry. Some of the sector’s biggest global players have adopted our proprietary solutions to coat their immersion instruments.

The Surfactis Technologies R&D laboratory is committed to developing ever-more innovative hydrophobic, oleophobic and superhydrophobic surface treatments. Boasting expertise in organic chemistry, surface chemistry and surface characterization, our R&D team relentlessly strive to deliver an increasingly comprehensive portfolio of products that will benefit our customers in coming years.

We also offer a custom lab service that allows customers to leverage our solid expertise in chemistry and physical chemistry. Our highly qualified scientists are trained to identify the hydrophobic or oleophobic coating best tailored to meet your most demanding needs. Looking for a solution to a technological challenge? Don’t hesitate to get intouch!
