About FLITE Material Sciences
FLITE Material Sciences is a surface engineering company that utilizes laser surface functionalization to modify materials, offering an alternative to traditional, often toxic, chemical coatings. By retexturing the surface of materials such as metal, plastic, glass, and semiconductors at a microscopic level, the company enables these surfaces to autonomously repel substances like water, oil, ice, and bacteria. This process enhances material durability and performance without weakening the underlying substrate, providing a cleaner, more sustainable solution for industrial manufacturing. The technology is applicable across a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, defense, automotive, oil and gas, and life sciences.
For industrial partners and customers, FLITE’s solutions address critical maintenance and durability challenges by extending the operational life of equipment and reducing long-term upkeep costs. The company focuses on integrating its laser texturing techniques directly into manufacturing supply chains, aiming to make industrial products safer and more resilient while minimizing environmental impact. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Montreal, FLITE has engaged with numerous industry leaders to validate its technology through targeted projects and is actively working toward commercial-scale applications for complex industrial environments.
