market profile

• text: Surface contamination affects automotive, medical and sanitation applications, creating demand for application-specific repellency and durability.
• text: Manufacturers are developing alternatives to PFAS coatings across automotive and medical uses.

personas

• title: Medical device materials or R&D engineer
  pains:

  • Biological or fluid fouling can compromise device surfaces
  • A candidate coating must satisfy compatibility, durability and validation requirements
• title: Automotive component engineering lead
  pains:

  • Ice and contamination can obscure glass, cameras and sensors
  • Needs an applicable coating that holds up to real operating conditions
• title: Industrial sanitation operations manager
  pains:

  • Sludge and mineral buildup drive cleaning labor and water use
  • Existing surfaces require frequent intervention

icp

• text: Medical device and biomedical processing manufacturers with liquid-contact surfaces requiring fouling control.
• text: Automotive OEMs and component suppliers with sensor, camera or glass cleaning challenges.
• text: Industrial sanitation and other product manufacturers able to test coating performance against a specified substrate and contaminant.

message pillars

• text: Tailor the coating to the surface and contaminant.
• text: Use nature-inspired engineering to solve difficult fouling problems.
• text: Reduce cleaning water in measured comparisons.

objections

• objection: Will the coating survive our production process and service conditions?
  response: Define substrate, fouling material and durability requirements and conduct an application-specific pilot.
• objection: Can it meet our medical or automotive qualification requirements?
  response: Request material and test data for the specific application; certification cannot be assumed.
• objection: Is a new coating worth the integration cost?
  response: Compare cleaning, replacement and downtime costs against test results on the actual component.
