CIDETEC Surface Engineering
Smarter surfaces
that make a difference
Cidetec is a key international player in research and innovation related to surface engineering and polymeric and composite materials. We specialise in processing surfaces and materials through disruptive technologies, ultimately aiming at technological transfer that will ensure the right solution for each customer.
We focus on:
- Developing REACH-compliant coatings and surfaces that provide multifunctional properties such as corrosion and wear resistance, protection against hydrogen embrittlement or fouling, electromagnetic transparency, customised aesthetics, omniphobicity and conductivity enhancement.
- Developing new innovative, sustainable polymeric materials based on biomass waste, self-healing elastomers, thermoplastic formulations with custom properties, and our own 3R patented technology (Reprocessable, Repairable and Recyclable thermoset composites).
We are Spain’s only technological centre specialising in Surface Engineering. Aligned with sustainability and environmental policies, we count on state-of-the-art equipment and facilities paired with a multidisciplinary team of experts that will help accelerate your company’s innovation process.
