  • Swift Coat

    Real estate

    Swift Coat is a manufacturing company that provides advanced coating solutions by developing thin films designed to enhance surface properties. Their core technology, Aerosol Impact Driven Assembly (AIDA), is a proprietary thin-film deposition platform that enables the transition of nanotechnology innovations from the laboratory to commercial products. The AIDA technology was inspired by graffiti art and functions like an aerosol can system, capable of coating various surfaces with nanoparticles of any size and composition. This process involves accelerating aerosolized nanoparticles at sonic speeds through a slit-shaped nozzle, allowing them to attach to a substrate. It provides precise control over coating thickness, from a few nanometers to millimeters, and can be applied to surfaces of different textures and shapes at high speeds. Key features of the coatings include anti-reflective, anti-soiling, and anti-fog capabilities. The company serves a diverse client base across several industries, including solar, windows, aerospace, glazing, filtration, displays, and sensors. One of its notable products is PHOTOCLEAN PV, a self-cleaning coating for solar panels that uses a chemical reaction powered by UV sunlight to break down dirt, aiming to improve energy production efficiency. Swift Coat's business model involves collaborating with partners and working with Fortune 500 companies to bring its coating solutions to market. The firm has received significant backing and grant funding from government bodies such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Air Force. For instance, Swift Coat was awarded a $900,000 contract from NASA in February 2024 to develop anti-fog coatings for spacesuit helmets for the Artemis moon mission.
