Opening New Possibilities

Nanolaminated metal sheets.

Nanolaminated Metals

Using our proprietary technology, we grow nanolaminated alloys onto base materials. This creates strength and durability superior to conventional metals.

Proprietary Chemistry

Our ability to control the metallic structure at the nanolayer scale using our proprietary chemistry and process delivers superior performance in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Smart Economies of Scale

We bring our technology to the industrial market through a proprietary nanolamination manufacturing process. This process is designed to maximize previously invested capital with minimal investment to upgrade a standard Zn-Ni electroplating line.

History

1970 - 1980

The term nanotechnology was first used by Japanese scientist Norio Taniguchi in a 1974 paper on production technology that creates objects and features on the order of a nanometer. American engineer K. Eric Drexler developed molecular nanotechnology, leading to nano-systems machinery manufacturing.

IBM scientists invented the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 which allowed scientists to see materials at an atomic level. Supercomputers enabled large scale simulations of material systems.

2006

Modumetal was co-founded by Christina Lomasney and John Whitaker to advance the state-of-the art in a new class of nanolaminated metals. Modumetal developed a patented electrochemical process to produce nanolaminated metal alloys. Modumetal’s technology exceeds the performance limitations of materials today, at industrial scale, and at a cost that is competitive with conventional metals.

2011

Modumetal completed independent lab testing of our products for corrosion mitigation and began full scale field trials, including safety-critical applications. This significant milestone began Modumetal’s progress toward industrial product specification.

Modumetal scaled up pilot manufacturing lines to support the field trials. We successfully performed in field trials over years.

Modumetal’s performance claims were independently validated by certified test laboratories and our end customers.

2018

Modumetal’s customers (e.g. Oil & Gas, EPC, and marine products) added NanoGalv® products to their specifications for use in their businesses.

NanoGalv® outperformed existing products approved by the industry (in performance and cost).

Modumetal products were continuously field tested in safety-critical applications and were evaluated in contrast with conventional alloys to verify that the products perform as well in the field as they do in the laboratory.

Some corrosion-mitigation trials are not projected to reach completion for almost 100 years…

2020

Modumetal engaged an experienced leadership team (Sales, Manufacturing and Finance) to grow the company.

Modumetal completed construction and commissioned an automated production facility in Houston, TX to produce NanoGalv® products on an industrial scale.

2021-2025

Modumetal was called to support the automotive industry. We subjected our NanoGalv® technology to the suite of automotive standard tests (PV-1209, COF per ISO 16047, embrittlement testing per ASTM F519 etc.) and successfully passed each at 5μ. We have been evaluated together with conventional ZnNi coatings and have outperformed them every time.

Lamons purchased Modumetal’s Houston production facility in May 2024. Lamon’s ModuCoatings division is now a Modumetal licensee that has seen sales to the Oil & Gas industry double due to the demanding offshore requirements.

Modumetal developed the new NanoPro® to control production and integrate seamlessly into our customers’ automated production lines. We now have the ability to manage multiple lines from a single NanPro®.

Modumetal established additional licensees that are poised for explosive growth.
