Coatings have increased reflection of visible light with sufficient corrosion resistance

Specifications:

Reflection R, %	87–95
Corrosion resistance in normal atmospheric conditions,	at least 5 years

Technological simplisity of application to parts made of metals, glass, and plastics.

The Physical-Technical Institute is the leading scientific institution of the Republic of Belarus in the field of creating resource-saving and automated production, developing technologies for creating new materials, robotics and intelligent control systems and highly efficient security systems.

The institute is actively developing technologies and equipment that are used in production.

Coatings, application technologies and equipment:
- protective coatings, the purpose of which is to protect parts from corrosion in various aggressive environments, including at high temperatures;
- protective and decorative coatings used for decorative finishing of parts with simultaneous protection against corrosion;
- special coatings used to impart special properties to the surface (wear resistance, hardness, electrical insulation, magnetic properties, etc.), as well as restoration of worn parts.

Foundry technologies.
Foundry is a branch of mechanical engineering engaged in the production of shaped parts and blanks by pouring molten metal into a mold, the cavity of which has the configuration of the required part. During the casting process, upon cooling, the metal in the mold hardens and a cast is obtained - a finished part or workpiece, which, if necessary (increasing dimensional accuracy and reducing roughness), is subjected to subsequent machining. In this regard, the foundry is faced with the task of producing castings whose dimensions and shape are as close as possible to the dimensions and shape of the finished part.

Industrial surface engineering technologies:
- ionic chemical-thermal treatment;
- laser processing of materials;
- cementation;
- induction heating;
- magnetic pulse processing, etc.

New materials.
New materials are composite materials such as carbon fiber plastics, fiberglass plastics, basalt plastics, aramid plastics and metal composites, high-tech ceramics - aluminum, zirconium, oxide, nitride, carbide ceramics and others, new building materials - new insulating materials from foam glass, road surface modifiers for based on rubber powder or polymer fibers, new types of concrete.

Metal forming.
Technologies involve changing the shapes and sizes of workpieces due to the influence of external forces on them, followed by maintaining the result. After the pressure stops, the shape and dimensions of the product do not change. In order to increase ductility, the metal is heated to a certain temperature before starting pressure treatment. For each type of material, this temperature is determined individually, depending on its specific physical and chemical characteristics.

The Institute has partners in different countries of the world.

Consumers interested in purchasing technologies for applying mirror coatings to parts from metals, glass, plastics under a commercial agreement with technical assistance, manufacturing of equipment for the implementation of technologies and coating of the Customer’s parts under a manufacturing agreement.
