Accelerating Innovation and Protecting Your Market

Strong intellectual property is a strategic asset. Acquiring additional patents protects your market position, builds essential freedom-to-operate, and shields the trade secrets that set your technologies apart. It also accelerates R&D, enabling faster product launches and premium differentiation across new or existing product lines.

A robust patent portfolio opens doors commercially—expanding addressable markets, strengthening negotiation leverage, and creating long-term licensing opportunities. It also enhances company valuation by demonstrating innovation leadership and long-term defensibility.

For organizations aiming to lead in high-performance surface technologies, the right patents are not just protection—they are a catalyst for growth.

We’re offering a high-value patent with multiple independently validated use cases, protected in over 150 jurisdictions with Freedom to Operate. If your team is exploring next-generation coating technologies or aiming to strengthen your innovation pipeline, we invite you to reach out for technical documentation and a deeper discussion.

Our Product Lines

A Portfolio Designed for Mission-Critical Performance

DIAMIX®-static

Developed to address ESD mitigation in the aerospace and semi-conductor industry.

A specialty coating for ESD mitigation and heat dissipation, 2.5x lighter than copper, reducing weight, fuel use and CO2 emissions while improving adhesion and reducing maintenance in aerospace. Up to 95% below the highest permissible ESD value in aerospace standards and unaffected by 15kV discharges, outperforming any other ESD mitigating coatings currently on the market.

DIAMIX®-static addresses challenges in the Aerospace Industry where heavy copper mesh for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) mitigation increases weight and fuel costs, adhesion issues, and maintenance costs. (TAM 2030: 35.72B USD). With additional use cases in the semiconductor and other specialty industries.

Independently tested and verified by Eurofins Maser.
RTCA-DO160 standard

DIAMIX®-shield

A game-changer in the Healthcare industry.

A bio-compatible specialty coating, delivering both antibacterial protection of up to 400% better performance than copper-based coatings and extreme durability for healthcare and industrial applications.
Exceeding log reductions of TiO2, Cu- and Ag-based coatings while eliminating chemical reliance.

DIAMIX®-shield addresses challenges in the Healthcare Industry where surfaces lack durable, self-sustaining antibacterial protection and are relying on aggressive chemical disinfectants. (TAM 20230: 24.65B USD)

Independently tested and verified by CHILL labs.
ISO 22196:2011 Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces.

DIAMIX®-guard

Eco-friendly anti-fouling for the Marine industry.

A true eco-friendly antifouling coating prevents marine biofouling with biocide-free protection as an alternative to harmful copper and zinc-based coatings.
Offering superior inert eco-friendliness, versatile performance, regulatory alignment and unmatched durability, positioning it as a premium, future-proof solution in the biocide-free antifouling market.

DIAMIX®-guard addresses challenges in the Marine Industry where biofouling drives up fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and environmental harm, while strict regulations against copper and zinc in traditional antifouling coatings demand eco-friendly alternatives. (TAM 2030: 2.65B USD)

Independently tested and verified by CHILL labs.*
ISO 21716 (Ships and marine technology -Bioassay methods for screening anti-fouling paints, Section 4)
*in progress

DIAMIX®-sense

A niche, high-impact quantum sensing coating for Defence Industries.

A smart coating enabling real-time monitoring in aerospace and defence with ultra-high precision down to 0.001K and 0.001 nano-Tesla levels. Providing real-time insight at a lower cost due to increased fluorescence enhancement attributed to improved outcoupling.

DIAMIX®-sense is tailored to the Defense & High-Tech Industries with a Dual-Use case for military and civilian applications, as passive coatings fail to provide real-time structural health monitoring in extreme environments, leading to costly inspections, failures and downtime. These gaps demand durable, high-performance, biocompatible and intelligent coating solutions. (TAM 20230: 21.75B USD)

Independently tested and verified with Comsol Multiphysics Software and IBM's Qiskit.
