The maturation of the technology for nanoscale manufacturing not only will greatly assist the upgrading of their original paint operations, it will also allow Tatung Coatings to break into the photocatalytic nanoscale titanium dioxide business, which has been a hot topic of late. Currently nano-scale production for the market is done using the sol-gel method, which is very expensive. If production can be done using the dispersion method, costs could be reduced sharply.
而顏料奈米化技術純熟後，不僅對塗料本業的升級大有幫助，還可以切入最近正熱門的「光觸媒」奈米級二氧化鈦產業，二氧化鈦本來就是白色顏料，現在市場上大多用所謂的「凝膠法」來作奈米化生產，價格非常昂貴，若能用分散法生產，成本可以大幅降低。
