Narrator: Surface modification is used in multiple industries, ranging from medical
devices to building materials. Chris Wohl: We’re using it for these anti-stick
coatings, these abhesive applications. And that really has a broad application in and
of itself. You can talk about generating surfaces for marine bio-fouling, surfaces that sand
wouldn’t stick to for desert operations, you can also think about what our main application
is, which is for missions conducted in the lunar environment.
Narrator: A chemical free, one step process has been developed to create a more reliable,
cost effective method. Tony Belcher: That’s another positive about
this laser ablation patterning in terms of using it instead of existing technologies.
You can eliminate the use of toxic and harsh chemicals, in particular Chromium metal, that’s
one of the standard processes by which metal surfaces are prepared.It has broad application
just because so many different things can be done with it, as Chris said.
Chris Wohl: You can maintain a higher technology readiness level.
Narrator: With such a broad range of uses, investing in this chemical-free one-step process
technology will help you meet your demands.
