PolyCAT UK Ltd
Making Materials Smarter
PolyCAT is an Oxford, UK based company with a process that adds smart functionality to any polymer material. Treatments we offer range from "kill on contact" antiviral properties, to advanced catalytic functions.
​
We can treat a huge range of polymer materials such as: -
​
-
Natural polymers such as Cotton, Wood, and Latex
-
Plastics including PET, HDPE, PP, Nylon, Polyesters
-
Flexible polymers such as PU and Nitrile
-
Durables such as Kevlar, Nomex and PTFE.

How it works

Step 1: Molecular ‘anchors’ are implanted into the specific material. This works for any polymer (e.g. cotton, polyester, wood, Teflon etc.)
Step 2: Active particles are grown on the molecular anchors; Because they all start growing at the same time, the size distribution can be very precise allowing for invisible coatings if required.
Step 3: Once the particles have grown to the desired size for the specific application, the growth is stopped and the process is complete. Fixatives are applied to ensure the particles stay in place permanently, and have the correct catalytic activity for the application.
