Applied 2D Materials

Applied 2D Materials, Inc. specializes in the application of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) coatings to protect metal components operating in extreme environments. By leveraging a scalable and cost-effective chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, the company applies these protective layers to common metals, including various grades of steel. The technology produces a two-dimensional ceramic coating that provides resistance to high temperatures, harsh chemicals, salt, and abrasive particulates. Furthermore, the material offers low-friction properties and retains structural integrity under thermal cycling, making it highly suitable for complex geometries and rigorous industrial applications.

The company’s solutions address critical performance and durability challenges for customers in sectors such as aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing. By mitigating wear, corrosion, and heat-related degradation, these coatings help maintain sealing integrity and improve the efficiency and lifespan of high-contact components, such as those found in rotary engines and heat exchangers. Supported by government research initiatives, including work linked to the U.S. Navy for UAV engine performance, Applied 2D Materials focuses on providing adaptable, high-performance protective solutions that are compatible with established manufacturing processes and high-volume production lines.
