Activity highlights

Secured a GBP 1.2 million funding package to scale its smart corrosion inhibitor technology across defence, marine, and industrial markets in June 2026.

Hexigone emerged from research at Swansea University’s corrosion center. Dr. Patrick Dodds, the CEO, discovered the core mechanism and founded the company. They have since scaled manufacturing of their encapsulated inhibitor and won multiple innovation awards. Hexigone works B2B, supplying their additive to paint and coating companies rather than selling a consumer product outright.
