Posted by admin on Mar 6, 2020 in NEWS, PRESS | Comments Off on F1: there is a new scratch-resistant film for barge board
Of: Franco Nugnes
The Nanoprom, after having launched the Polysil in F1, It brings a new product that will be seen on some cars in Australia. It is a film that has the power to protect complex aerodynamic parts such as barge board being anti-adherent and with a high mechanical strength and low aerodynamic.
It takes a well-trained eye, but in the Barcelona test has made its debut on some cars a new product of Nanoprom, The company of Sassuolo working in F1 for some years.
Having launched years ago Polysil, a silicon film formed by nanotechnology which is sprayed on the circles (it was a “liquid glass”) and guaranteed with a layer of a few microns high surface hardness was ensured thanks to which a thermal transmittance controlled and high abrasion resistance.
The painting of a traditional wheel F1 cost about 65 grams, while Polysil had fallen around 5 grams.
So much so that on subsequent applications F1 teams began to paint more and more consistent body parts. Gian Luca Falleti the Spanish test has brought a new discovery that will be used to create a great deal of attention.
It is a new adhesive film, attached cable that would have the property to protect surfaces from shocks and scratches.
In essence it would be found that the film equipped with the evolution Polysil would be able to protect areas particularly subjected to shocks: It is anti-adherent, and totally equipped with a high mechanical resistance, both the murble tire that small stones that make up the asphalt would not be able to damage turning vanes, barge board and flow diverters that, instead, They are subjected to long reconditioning work.
In addition, the lightness of the film and the low aerodynamic resistance are elements that have attracted the attention of the engineers of the teams. After experiments in Barcelona test, Nanoprom expect to see the film on the cars in Australia ...

Posted by admin on Mar 4, 2020 in NEWS, PRESS | Comments Off on F.1 Polysil Film With the first nanotechnology in the films Made in Italy
PAOLO Ciccarone
In Barcelona it is passed over in silence a very important moment for F1. It was presented, indeed, a product made in Italy in terms of technology and research is the first in the world. It is the Polysil Film, a remover film that is lightweight (It is the result of the search for Nanoprom Chemicals Casalgrande (Reggio Emilia) because it is made of a material that uses the latest research in terms of nanotechnology. In addition to being lightweight, It has several other advantages, such as does not stick to the body rubber residue and other dirt that sticks to cars, modifying the aerodynamic profiles.
The film in Polysil nanotechnologies It is easy to clean, It has a lower rolling resistance, becoming an important element in the aerodynamics of the cars. The work of four years of research and development of the Italian company has been rewarded with a product that resists temperatures, It reduces the oxidation of the metal parts (such as aluminum, for example, widely used in racing cars). The product has been received with great interest in F1 but there arelots of applications in the industrial world. And it all comes from a small company of Reggio Emilia, where they decided to dedicate themselves to excellence of research with intuition typically Italian.
After four years of research, Nanoprom is proud to present its first non-stick film, which teams the unique properties of plastic with those of Polysil.
- Benefit for teams
- Adhesive-like, attachable and removable film
- Non-stick
- High mechanical resistance
- Protects surfaces against blows and scratches
- Reduces work time to recondition surfaces
- Light-weight
- Low friction
Supporting Evidence
- Polysilcan be cold blended with any resins without chemical reaction among the ingredients, such as thermoplastic acrylics, silicones, etc.
- When Polysilis heated to at least 450o C the polymer will convert to inorganic ceramic (SiOx). The inorganic ceramics have super high hardness (up to 9H) and extremely high temp resistance (up to 1800 °C) due to their inherent properties.
- Polysilis widely used in clear coatings by delivering durability against weathering, UV, chemical, corrosion, staining, graffiti, scratch, and heat.
- The typical coating dry film thickness is between 2 to 10 μm.
- Aluminum coated with Polysil-based coatings display no corrosion even after 100 days (2400 hours) in the salt spray, (test performed in accordance with ISO 7253).
- Steel coated with Polysil-based coatings display no corrosion after 100 days (2400 hours) in the condensed water climate (test test performed in accordance with ISO 6270).
Supporting Evidence
ADHERENCE
(ASTM D3359) 90 -100%
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Posted by admin on Oct 31, 2019 in NEWS, PRESS | Comments Off on NewsF1 Inside Tech: the importance of the wheel
In Formula 1, as well as on the gravel roads of the World Rally and on the roads every day, are the wheels, in collaboration with the tires, to be the first "contact member" of the car with the surface. It goes without saying who hold, therefore, a fundamental role in determining the goodness of driveability and sealing.
And in Italy he was born and has based the industry leader, OZ Racing.
For every engineer of vehicles, that the reduction of unsprung weight is a "battle" constant, needed for research of dynamic behavior and a higher level of road holding.
And this struggle passes, unavoidably, also through the choice of wheel rims ever lighter and, at the same time, rigid and resistant, in such a way as to function at its best, abbinandovisi to perfection, the tires.
Ed in Formula 1, as well as in other motor disciplines (Endurance, Rally, Motorcycling), This is a crucial need.
And 'therefore essential for the various Team rely on excellent industry partners: and many put their trust in OZ Racing, company, born in 1971, from San Martino di Lupari (Padova), and present for more than 30 years in Motorsport, It provides its wheels, several teams the stars of motorsports, of all the world.
Just think that, solo in Formula 1, OZ Racing provides Ferrari, Mercedes AMG, Red Bull, Renault Sport, major team category. And just in Formula are required, in addition to the aforementioned characteristics of lightness and stiffness, also other "gifts", not least, as the aerodynamic optimization of design, disposal of heat given off by the brakes and, in close concert with it own, the optimal heating of the circle, so bring the "right of use" tires window.
About that, comes into play another Italian excellence, the Nanoprom, that with the particular-based paints Polysil enhances precisely this specific feature of "conveyance" of the heat on the rims.
A highly demanding sfida, then, one of the circles of a Formula 1, which involves a close working co-planning between teams and supplier: and just the confidence placed by the main competitors in the world of racing in OZ Racing makes us understand the uniqueness of the Paduan, that, through the challenges of the competitions, can develop and test designs and materials, then forward directly all the know-how acquired in the wheels of the car every day, even the most "special" (the circle measures available ranging from 14 "to 22", with innumerable kinds of design and different finishes). An all-Italian company that, through the quality and innovation, He has managed to make the world road in such a crucial field as that of the "racing wheels".
