Foundation of the sema Gesellschaft für Innovationen mbH in Wolfen
The two researchers Dr. Udo Dieckmann and Dipl.-Ing. Karin Rauch founded sema Gesellschaft für Innovationen mbH in 1998.
Both started with the development of a photochromically switching pouring recipe for a photochromically switching glass. This was followed by the synthesis of UV absorbers based on renewable raw materials and their processing into initial coating formulations. Since some representatives of these UV absorbers have a high absorption cross-section, it was possible to produce thin-layer transparent surfaces with a steep absorption edge at 400 nm. A transparent film with UV protection up to 400 nm was new in 2002.
In the meantime, we have been offering UV protection solutions for 20 years. Whether UV-protective films and UV-protective glasses reaching up to the visibility limit of 410nm or products for protection against bird strikes on windows and glass facades. Interest in UV protection products is high.
In addition, we manufacture special chemicals for corrosion protection, surface treatment of materials and forensic technology for securing evidence. We have a grown, extensive know-how, starting from the material development up to the transfer of the new developments into the production scale.
Thanks to our committed employees, we were able to register more than 10 patents.
Our products are used in all modern areas of glass architecture, in Vogesl protection, in the agricultural sector, in forensic technology, in the manufacture of functional flat glass films and in research and teaching.
