01 — PARTICLE
Engineered doped diamond
Micron-scale diamond particles with a controlled dopant level, selected for the function each application needs.
DiamiX® — Diamond Backed Innovations
Diamond inside.
Function on every surface.
DiamiX® embeds engineered, doped-diamond particles in conventional coating systems — adding electrostatic dissipation, antibacterial action, antifouling and sensing, without new application equipment.

The platform
One particle technology. Ordinary coatings. Extraordinary properties.
Diamond is the hardest, most chemically inert material known — and with controlled doping its electrical, optical and surface properties can be tuned to the job. DiamiX® puts those properties into the paints and topcoats industry already uses.
02 — FORMULATION
Dispersed in standard binders
Particles are dispersed in established resin systems such as polyurethane — no exotic chemistry, no change to the coating supply chain or application methods.
03 — APPLICATION
Spray, brush or roller
Applied and cured with existing equipment and processes, so coating manufacturers and applicators can adopt it without capital investment.
Applications
Four functions, one family of coatings
Each DiamiX® application targets a specific industrial problem.
DiamiX-static
ValidatedElectrostatic dissipation
A conductive-diamond coating that safely bleeds off static charge on composite structures — a lighter alternative to embedded copper mesh, with better adhesion.
- Aerospace composites
- Wind turbine blades
- Vehicles
Tested by Eurofins Maser to RTCA DO-160: static decay up to 95% below the limit; around 2.5× lighter than copper mesh.
DiamiX-shield
ValidatedAntibacterial surfaces
Durable, self-sustaining antibacterial protection built into the coating itself, for surfaces that are touched, cleaned and touched again.
- Healthcare
- Food processing
- Public spaces
Tested by CHILL Labs to ISO 22196 (S. aureus): over 400% higher log reduction than a copper-based reference.
DiamiX-guard
In testingAntifouling
A biocide-free route to fouling control for hulls and submerged structures — an alternative to copper- and zinc-based systems facing growing regulatory pressure.
- Marine hulls
- Offshore structures
- Aquaculture
In progress: ISO 21716 antifouling bioassay commissioned with CHILL Labs.
DiamiX-sense
In developmentQuantum sensing layer
A research programme to turn a coated surface into a sensor — using colour centres in diamond to read out temperature and magnetic fields optically, with no wiring embedded in the structure.
- Aerospace
- Defence
- High-tech manufacturing
Modelled and in validation: optical, magnetic and quantum behaviour simulated with COMSOL Multiphysics, IBM Qiskit and QuTiP; experimental validation with research partners under way.
Why DiamiX®
Built for the way the coatings industry actually works
Drop-in, not rip-and-replace
Works within existing binders and application methods, so formulators adopt a new function — not a new process.
Diamond is stable by nature
Chemically inert and extremely hard, the functional particle doesn't leach, corrode or wear out the way other fillers can.
Independent evidence first
Performance claims rest on accredited third-party testing against recognised standards, not internal data alone.
Protected and clearly owned
An international patent family and a registered trademark, held by a single company — a clean basis for licensing.
IP & licensing
An IP company, by design
A.C.E. B.V. combines decades of experience in diamond innovation with focused IP development. We develop, validate and protect the DiamiX® technology, and bring it to market with partners who have the formulation capability, production capacity and customer access to scale it.
