Product focus is in the areas of (i) medical and industrial nanocoatings, (ii) high surface area nanofibrous media for water treatment, and (iii) magnetic nanocomposites. Inframat is an equity partner in joint ventures in China in Hunan and Jiangxi Provinces to manufacture hardmetals, specifically tungsten carbide / cobalt (“WC/Co”).
