Molecular Plasma Group

CORE BUSINESS

We develop customized solutions using our 

• MolecularGRIP™ technology for improved adhesion between difficult-to-bond materials with custom-designed primer layers
• Leaf™ technology for nano-structured, water-repellent and non-stick coatings
• Virucidal & bactericidal coatings
• UV filter coatings

Our Molecular Plasma Technology enables single-step grafting of a wide range of one or more functional precursor molecules (organic, inorganic, nanoparticles, biomolecules,...) onto any surface using a scalable, dry, ambient, atmospheric process.  The solutions we develop are easily scalable and we ensure a robust industrially implementation.
