A new industry of cold sprayable metal technology has arrived, that not only “changes the way the world works with metal™” but has a major impact on the coatings industry as well. Prior to the development of this technology, there were very limited choices in both the aesthetic and industrial industries. Before the advent of this composite metal the only options were paint or solid metal. Aesthetic market coatings never achieved the perceived value desired and solid metal was too expensive and heavy. Industrial coatings lost much of its protection capabilities because of necessary reformulation requirements due to environmental regulations.
