Plaid Technologies Inc. Launch Strategic Assessment of High-Performance Graphene Water-Shedding Coatings Plaid Technologies Inc. announced the launch of a strategic collaboration with Graphene Nanoworks Ltd. to assess the commercial potential and technical readiness of next-generation graphene-based water-shedding coatings, films, and membranes for glass and metal applications. This initiative aligns with Plaid's ongoing strategy of advancing graphene-enabled technologies that deliver step-change performance improvements in large, established, and underserved industrial markets. The collaboration will focus on advanced surface technologies designed to enhance water repellency, durability, and functional longevity, with potential applications across architectural glass, transportation, industrial equipment, and specialty metal markets. As part of the assessment, Plaid and GNW are conducting a detailed evaluation of the global glass and coatings markets, including supply-chain integration points, manufacturing insertion opportunities, and the competitive positioning of existing graphene-polymer and conventional coating solutions. The objective is to identify and access potential commercial pathways and value propositions for end users. Under the terms of the agreement entered into on December 16, 2025, Plaid has engaged GNW for a three-month period at a total cost of $32,500 to conduct market analysis and technical specification development. In parallel, Plaid is leveraging its broader graphene development experience to evaluate dispersion and formulation methodologies relevant to surface coatings. The Company is assessing advanced dispersion techniques, including ultrasonic-assisted processes, designed to improve the distribution of graphene-based materials within coating systems. Plaid continues to evaluate performance characteristics, scalability, and cost implications as part of its disciplined development and risk-assessment program. The evaluation will address both technical feasibility and economic upside. Subject to the results of the assessment, Plaid may consider advancing the collaboration toward further technology development, validation, and potential commercialization. Market data underscores the strategic attractiveness of this opportunity. Including eyewear, industry research indicates that the household and residential segment accounts for over 70% of global glass value sold, primarily during the construction phase rather than replacement activity.
