How do you disrupt a legacy industry?
By building a better all-around product from the very beginning, and helping your customers in ways they never expected.
Our coatings are
sustainably minded by design.
PFAS comprises a toxic collection of words you don’t want on your ingredient list.
That’s why our portfolio is filled with PFAS-free products, by design.
What are PFAS?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Originally used in coatings for water resistance.

Simplified manufacturing = lower emissions
Sustainability is built into our chemistry and proven in our process. Where legacy coatings require energy-intensive curing ovens and lengthy drying times, actnano coatings simply air-dry at room temperature in around 30 seconds. This means a direct reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

From cradle to application of ANG, actnano products reduce overall emissions by 40% compared to traditional UV-cured products.
Waste less. Recycle more.
The most sustainable device is the one that stays in the user’s hand and out of the landfill. actnano is a critical enabler of the circular economy by addressing the three pillars of electronics longevity:
Durability
We shield internal components from the leading causes of failure: corrosion and moisture.
Repairability
Where traditional potting makes hardware unserviceable, actnano coatings are fully reworkable, allowing for easy component replacement and repair during a critical "Right to Repair" regulatory movement.
Recyclability
When a device's life ends, precious metals can be reclaimed and recycled with actnano. Our unique chemistry allows recyclers to capture materials more efficiently than legacy alternatives.
Switch to actnano’s coatings and you’ll feel the impact across your operations (in a good way).
- Remove ovens from your process.
- Reduce field failure rate.
- Remove harmful substances.
