FLITE's Self-Cleaning Surface Technology

This information was documented on September 22, 2021.

FLITE utilizes proprietary laser methodologies to engineer minute textures onto the surfaces of various products.

Crucially, this process doesn't alter the inherent characteristics of materials like metal, glass, or plastic.

Instead, the technique generates a surface capable of self-cleaning and self-protection, all achieved without the application of any coatings.

The resulting surface topography actively repels contaminants and reduces the need for traditional cleaning methods.

Extended Product Lifespan: The protective qualities of the surface significantly increase the durability of treated items.
Cost Reduction: Lower maintenance and replacement rates translate into substantial savings.
Environmental Impact: The technology eliminates the necessity for billions of gallons of potentially harmful chemicals used in conventional cleaning and protective processes.

FLITE’s innovative approach offers a sustainable and economically viable alternative to traditional surface treatments.

The potential for widespread adoption promises a significant reduction in both environmental pollution and operational expenses.
