What it does

"FLITE Material Sciences is a pioneering company specializing in surface modification technology for a wide range of industries. Using a patented laser technique, FLITE can modify the surfaces of everyday materials at a microscopic level to prevent rust, ice formation, and fouling without the need for toxic or temporary coatings. These modified surfaces can repel or attract water and oil, eliminate pathogens, reduce friction, and enhance thermal efficiency. By enhancing the durability and performance of materials such as metal, glass, plastics, ceramics, and sensors, FLITE's innovative approach significantly extends product lifetimes while reducing the reliance on billions of liters of toxic chemicals for protection and cleaning. As a Techstars company, FLITE is dedicated to making ordinary materials extraordinary through sustainable and cutting-edge surface engineering solutions."
