Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH Your partner for high-performance surfaces Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH is an internationally active company that was founded in 1977 as a subsidiary of Degussa AG in Schwäbisch Gmünd and is active in the surface coating sector. From 1993 to 2010 it was run as an independent company, since August 2010 it has been part of the Nanogate AG group of companies and since 2021 it has been part of the Techniplas Group. Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH, in conjunction with the Techniplas Group, offers the entire value chain from plastic injection molding to surface finishing. Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd specializes in the optical and technical refinement of surfaces with its products SICRALAN® and ELAMET®. With the SICRALAN® product family, scratch-resistant, reflex-reducing and/or chemical-resistant surfaces are produced on plastic components using transparent coatings. In addition to a variety of conventional coating processes, Techniplas has a globally unique inkjet technology with which, in contrast to conventional painting technology, components can be coated without masking technology and selectively according to customer specifications. It allows use on transparent and non-transparent plastics. High-gloss black products with a scratch-resistant surface produced using the inkjet process are particularly in demand in the premium sector of the automotive industry. Another technical highlight from Techniplas is the electromagnetic shielding of electronics housings using the patented ELAMET® process. The ELAMET® process is a coating process in which metals such as aluminum, copper, steel or gold in the micrometer range are deposited on plastic surfaces in high vacuum vapor deposition systems, depending on the application. The metal layer created on the plastic surface forms a closed, electrically conductive surface with which effective shielding can be achieved. The ELAMET® process can be used for all electrical devices with plastic housings that need to be shielded against electromagnetic interference.
