Alchemy is a nanotechnology company that specialises in innovative and sustainable lines of protective windshield films.
Basic Information
Alchemy, previously Neverfrost, was founded in May 2013 by a group of Nanotechnology Engineering graduates from the University of Waterloo. The company began with the intent to commercialise an innovation in sprayable anti-frost coatings, but soon thereafter expanded its technological infrastructure to include the current ExoShield technologies. ExoShield is a thin, transparent film applied on the exterior surface of a windshield, using the same skills and tools used for applying window tint. The state-of-the-art nanomaterials behind ExoShield enable a wide array of benefits for every automotive vehicle and operation type. ExoShield films can prevent stone chips, improve visibility, and block UV radiation. Alchemy is developing innovative nanocoating solutions to the challenges faced by many industries. Their coatings are designed to repel water, dirt, and ice while maintaining the high transparency, mechanical durability, and weatherability specifications for advanced sensor systems used in harsh environments.
