The company
o.m.t is an internationally active technology company specialising in surface and material technologies for applications in the technical, medical and energy fields. Our goal is to become the market leader in long-lasting reliable products which improve the quality of life. All our products are tested using objective and transparent methods for their physical and chemical durability and effectiveness and their biological acceptability.
Technic
Our technologies are based on cerid® coatings (ceramic oxid, nitrid, carbid) already known under this trade mark. Our cerid® coatings have defined and reproducible properties. Combined coating processes and plants of the highest grade are essential for their manufacture. We are specialists in surface and material technology. As well as developing tailor-made surfaces and materials we are also constantly working to improve the techniques and equipment involved.
Medicine
Biocompatible coatings play a hugely important role in medicine, especially in implantology where they have become an established feature. Whether an implant is successfully incorporated into the body's tissues depends crucially on its biocompatibility, especially that of the surface, and on its durability and long-term stability in situ. The specifications for implants are enormously demanding and can only be met with the aid of modern material science. Hip implants, for example, must last for 20 years and more without wear and tear, without being replaced and without causing inflammatory reactions in the body. In collaboration with research institutes and experienced implantologists o.m.t has devoted its attention to these questions and developed biocompatible coatings that have gained an excellent clinical track record over more than 15 years.
Energy
o.m.t is developing materials to provide solutions in the renewable energy area, e.g. for photovoltaics, solar thermal applications, CHP plants and fuel cells.
- catalytic coatings for burning soot in situ in engines; especially for use with vegetable oil
- materials and coatings protecting against corrosion and wear to increase the working life of engines and heat exchangers for CHP plants
- highly electrically conductive coatings that also protect against corrosion for metallic bipolar plates to operate fuel cells (PEMFCs, MTFCs, DMFCs)
- highly efficient platinum-reduced catalytic coatings for fuel cell electrodes
- nickel base electrode for highly efficient electrolysis of hydrogen
- nano-scaled semiconductor electrodes for the production of hydrogen peroxide, ozone and hydroxyl radicals in water purification systems
- nano-scaled quantum-dimensioned semiconductor coatings for efficient solar energy conversion
