Born in 2014 at the Binghamton University Incubator, ChromaNanoTech LLC formulates and produces patented light-absorbing nanoparticles for use in plastics, liquids and other materials. Its additives are engineered to disperse readily, retain strong optical absorption and withstand high processing temperatures, with applications ranging from metal additive printing to selective light filtration. Based in the university’s Center of Excellence, the company also performs contract research and development on light-absorbing products and laser-processing materials.
Chroma Color CorporationFor more than 50 years, Chroma Color Corporation has made specialty color concentrates and masterbatch for plastics processors and brand owners. Its patented G2 and G3 pellet technologies are built around high pigment, dye and additive loadings, while the company also develops light-management and sustainability-focused color solutions. Chroma Color operates multiple U.S. facilities, all meeting ISO 9001:2015 standards, with its Asheboro, North Carolina laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.DELAWARE, OH

Magicnano Industry LtdMagicnano Industry Ltd. develops and produces super-black, light-absorbing nanocoatings for precision optical and imaging equipment. Its coatings can absorb up to 99% of incident ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light, while applying to complex three-dimensional parts and flexible films. The company’s applications include semiconductor inspection equipment, life-science imaging systems, and instruments such as LiDAR and spectrometers.
Chromatir TechnologiesChromatir Technologies develops structurally colored materials that create color through reflective microscale structures rather than chemical dyes or pigments. Based in State College, Pennsylvania, the company produces scalable color-shifting films with customized iridescent effects for applications such as security features, transportation markers, and decorative surfaces. Its underlying optical approach was developed by researchers at Penn State and MIT and published in Nature in 2019.
