Equipment housings & side panels
Exterior shells, access panels and non-impact surfaces on analyzers, diagnostic equipment and benchtop instruments.
Applications
Start where the surface
can succeed.
Addrix is adapted for surfaces that benefit from passive surface functionality without serving as primary grip points, sliding wear interfaces or repeated impact zones.
Fit criteria
How do your needs fit?
Strong use cases fit most or all of the below:
Exposed to contaminationRegular environmental or operator exposure creates a reason for passive surface function.
Low-to-moderate mechanical abuseThe surface is not a primary grip, sliding wear track or repeated impact zone.
Black finish is acceptableThe coating is intentionally black and should be treated as part of the product design.
Cleaned, not aggressively abradedRoutine cleaning may be compatible; heavy scouring and high-pressure abrasion require testing.
Fits development equipmentCurrent development target is a component envelope of roughly 20 × 20 cm or less.
Validation has valueHas a need to reduce contamination and reliance on human cleaning effort.
Initial focus
Lab & life-science
equipment surfaces.
A natural match between contamination concerns and component sizes.
Sample racks & instrument holders
Racks, supports, stands and organizers that are exposed during routine work but are not subjected to concentrated gripping force.
Removable panels, surrounds & inserts
Black components engineered around Addrix from the beginning—potentially the clearest path to repeatable OEM integration.
Additional fields
Explore beyond laboratories
Addrix offers additional opportunities in veterinary and controlled manufacturing environments. Each application should be screened against mechanical abuse, fouling, cleaning chemistry and regulatory requirements.
- Veterinary equipment panels, frames and non-grip exterior hardware
- Non-food-contact equipment guards, covers and sensor housings
- Control-panel surrounds and protected fixture components
- Custom OEM components designed specifically for a functional surface
Application boundaries
Designed for the right surface.
Addrix is designed for use on static, low-pressure surfaces, and is not optimized for handles and grips, direct food-contact surfaces, abrasive sliding interfaces, or repeated impact points. Substrate and process compatibility are qualified on a per-application basis.
Design opportunity
Black is back
Turn Protection Into a Visible Design Element. The black finish gives OEMs a built-in design cue—a purpose-designed panel or insert visually identifies protected areas, turning the coating into part of the product's visual language.
Functional contrast
Use the black Addrix surface to distinguish a protected zone from the surrounding product architecture.
Smaller, simpler parts
Coat a dedicated insert or panel rather than forcing an entire complex instrument into a deposition process.
Recognizable technology
Over time, a consistent black Addrix component can become a visible indicator that the product incorporates the surface technology.
