What Is ATO Dispersion?

ATO Dispersion refers to a stable colloidal system in which antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in a liquid medium such as water, alcohol, or organic solvents. These dispersions enable easy incorporation of ATO nanoparticles into coatings, inks, polymers, and composite materials.

At SAT NANO, ATO Dispersion is engineered to deliver high transparency, excellent conductivity, and long-term dispersion stability, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.


Core Composition and Structure

The performance of ATO Dispersion depends heavily on its internal structure and formulation design.

  • Antimony-doped tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO2:Sb)
  • Controlled particle size distribution (typically 5–30 nm)
  • Surface-modified nanoparticles for improved compatibility
  • High-purity dispersion medium

SAT NANO applies advanced surface treatment technology to ensure each nanoparticle remains evenly dispersed without agglomeration.


Key Functional Properties of ATO Dispersion

  1. Electrical Conductivity: Provides antistatic and EMI shielding performance.
  2. Infrared Shielding: Effectively blocks near-infrared radiation while maintaining visible transparency.
  3. Optical Transparency: Ideal for clear coatings and films.
  4. Thermal Stability: Maintains performance at elevated temperatures.
  5. Chemical Resistance: Compatible with a wide range of resin systems.

Main Industrial Applications

ATO Dispersion is widely used across multiple industries due to its multifunctional properties.

  • Transparent antistatic coatings
  • Energy-saving architectural glass coatings
  • Automotive window films
  • Display panels and optical films
  • Smart packaging and electronics enclosures

SAT NANO customizes ATO Dispersion formulations to meet specific application requirements.


Advantages Compared to Alternative Materials

Compared with ITO or carbon-based conductive additives, ATO Dispersion offers several unique advantages:

  • Lower cost than indium-based materials
  • Better environmental stability
  • Excellent transparency-conductivity balance
  • Scalable production and formulation flexibility

How to Choose the Right ATO Dispersion

Selecting the optimal ATO Dispersion requires evaluating multiple factors:

  • Solvent compatibility
  • Solid content percentage
  • Particle size and distribution
  • Target conductivity and transparency
  • End-use application environment
