• Packaging and Labelling (AS478-35D , in ISO 5 cleanroom)

The NanoLab staff also can formulate custom paints and coatings for various applications, and can work with you to develop a system that meets your needs. We have worked in a number of industries too, from aerospace to consumer goods, so we know how to design products at large scale and low cost.


Our projects usually consist of three steps:

1. Understand
We typically start with a meeting with our client, where look to understand your specifications, use environment, drawings, masking, handling and packaging requirements and scale. Details about drawing notes and specifying coatings is here:

  • 2. Engage
    We then generate quotes, or if needed a proposal if the requirements don't meet an off the shelf item. In these cases, our team of materials scientists, nanotechnologists, electrical engineers, and physicists work collaboratively to generate a solution. Often the client works with us, performing specific tests or verifying our results along the way.

    3. Produce
    The coating team at NanoLab can handle most paint application challenges: critical cleaning, complex masking, paint application, testing and inspection, cure, packaging and labelling. We can also enable our customers to apply our formulations in their own facilities.
