Lead Markets

Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group plc (OAS) provides multinational industrial corporations with intellectual property (IP) solutions as a 'tool kit' to create engineered surface coatings and advanced materials. Our Onto® chemistry platform provides everything needed to create innovative products through the transformation of commodity industrial materials, and by opening new markets for the most desirable advanced materials.

The power of our technology enables materials to be transformed for use in applications where currently they cannot be used, and can also enhance material performance properties. Lead applications of the technology include development of adhesives to enable the use of high performance plastics in aerospace, automotive, electronics and engineering sectors; anti-reflective coatings to eliminate reflection from laptop screens and eye wear, and composite materials to enable the strongest advanced fibres to be used in high performance products such as wind turbine blades.

OAS has an innovative business model. We will license our technology to major industrial corporations for exclusive use in their products. This model allows us to partner with companies with strong brands in dominant market positions. It enables OAS to focus on our core strength in the protection and development of our intellectual property, and transfers the manufacturing and regulatory requirements to our partners.

We target specific applications through analysis of unmet market needs and by demonstrating that Onto® can differentiate materials to meet these challenges. For each partner we will provide an Onto® 'tool kit' and collaborative support to incorporate our chemistry into their finished products. We aspire to be the technology partner of choice for industrial product manufacturers who need to utilise advanced materials to develop their products.
