Swift Coat, Inc.

Swift Coat, Inc. is a nanotechnology company specializing in advanced functional coatings, particularly thin-film deposition technology. The company utilizes a proprietary process known as Aerosol Impaction-Driven Assembly (AIDA), a dry spray method that allows for the precise tuning of refractive index and surface roughness on complex, large-area substrates. By applying these engineered nanostructures, Swift Coat creates high-performance coatings that provide anti-reflective, anti-fog, and anti-soiling properties, significantly enhancing the durability and efficiency of critical components across the aerospace, solar, and semiconductor industries.

Originally a spinout from Arizona State University, the company has transitioned from research to commercial-scale manufacturing to address the rising demand for resilient high-tech materials, including specialized solutions for NASA’s xEMU spacesuit and the U.S. satellite market. By providing coatings that improve solar cell power output and ensure clearer optical systems for space missions, Swift Coat enables customers to optimize the performance of technology deployed in both extreme orbital environments and terrestrial applications. The company continues to scale its manufacturing capacity and workforce in Phoenix, Arizona, supported by federal research grants and strategic partnerships with industry and economic organizations.
