Founded in 2005 by petroleum engineer Todd Hawkins, Massillon-based Tesla NanoCoatings manufactures TESLAN® carbon-nanotube protective coatings for steel assets in offshore, marine and midstream environments. Its patented CNT technology enables a two-coat, wet-on-wet system designed to replace conventional three-coat applications, and more than 1.5 million square feet of Gulf of Mexico assets were protected with TESLAN® by early 2023 without recorded coating replacements. The company also authored the 2015 ASM Handbook on carbon nanocoating technology and received Materials Performance’s 2022 Innovation of the Year award.

NanoSlic CoatingsNanoSlic Coatings grew from chemistry invented in 2013 at its Cincinnati Innovation Center into a surface-science company known for bringing hydrophobic and oleophobic protection to electronics assembly. Its hybrid ceramic nanocoatings bond to surfaces to reduce corrosion and cleaning demands, serving manufacturers and asset owners whose equipment or materials need longer-lasting protection.CINCINNATI, OH
Advanced Polymer CoatingsSince 1969, Avon-based Advanced Polymer Coatings has developed protective polymer coatings and tank linings for assets exposed to aggressive chemicals, including marine cargo tanks and industrial containment systems. Its patented high-crosslink-density technology underpins ChemLINE® and MarineLINE®, while TriFLEX™ extends the company’s coating work to rolling stock with an ambient-cured direct-to-metal system. A global marine and industrial team supports customers with coating recommendations, technical resources, and ongoing tank-care services.AVON, OH
GreenkoteFounded in 1999 by two European metallurgical scientists, Greenkote develops proprietary thermal-diffusion coatings and applies them to finished metal parts for corrosion protection. Headquartered in Brook Park, Ohio, the company supports coating centers and licensees around the world, with its patented process forming a metallurgical bond that protects complex parts without introducing hydrogen embrittlement. Its Brook Park facility conforms to ISO 9001:2015, and its G5k coating has delivered at least 5,000 hours of salt-spray corrosion protection in ASTM B117 testing.BROOK PARK, OH
BARNAGARDBorn from Dr. Reed Phillips’s effort to protect an ocean-wave electricity generator from barnacles, BARNAGARD develops patented, environmentally friendly coatings that prevent biofouling on submerged marine and freshwater surfaces. Its two-layer polymer technology is designed to repel attaching organisms while protecting against those that break through, with applications ranging from boat hulls to docks and other infrastructure. The company says its coatings are designed for at least five years of service and do not leach active agents into surrounding water.
