02 / WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY

Evidence you can take to your board.

  • Coated samples Your powder, coated to the agreed spec. grams to Kgs.
  • Characterisation report Micrographs, element maps and shell thickness.
  • Before-and-after data Coated against uncoated, on the measures you care about.
  • Scale-up plan Route from samples to supply, using the same process. See the roadmap

03 / STRAIGHT ANSWERS

What engineers ask first.

Something else? Ask it in the form below.

Who owns the IP?

Your application data stays yours. We keep our platform IP. Anything new is agreed up front.

Do we need an NDA?

Yes. A mutual NDA is in place before any technical detail is shared. Ours or yours.

What does a POC cost?

A fixed fee, agreed at scoping, so there are no surprises. It is difficult to estimate a cost as the coating type and thickness can affect the required costing.

How much powder do you need?

Usually 100 g to start. It depends on your material and the tests you plan to run.

Can you handle export-controlled work?

Tell us at scoping if your material or application is controlled and we will agree how to handle it. We do have experience in this.

What if the coating doesn't work?

Then you know quickly, with the data to show why. We will say so candidly, and suggest what to try next.
