Inframat's leading commercialization efforts are directed to the thermal spray nanocoatings technology that has been heavily funded by the Navy since 1997. In fact, as quoted in The New York Times (April 8, 2003) Inframat presently has nanocoatings on shipboard on submarines, aircraft carriers, and minesweepers as a result of Inframat's nanomaterials having been specified in Navy blue prints. These nanocoatings are based upon a patented process for the reconstitution of nanostructured powder feedsocks (see patents).

More recently, Inframat has pioneered a dramatically different approach to thermal spray by substituting a solution feedstock for the traditional powder feedstock. This novel approach has proven very successful in the area of Thermal Barrier Coatings(TBCs) based upon yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Mainstream applications include hot section components for industrial and aircraft turbines (jet engines).

This new process is called Solution Plasma Spray("SPSTM"). Thermal Cycling Durability has been observed at 3-4X traditional Air Plasma Spray and 2-3X Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD). The cost is equivalent to APS and 2-3X cheaper than EB-PVD (not including the high cost of capitalization for manufacture). Details can be found in the Technology section.
