A Stronger, Smarter Alternative to Metals and Plastics

Covetics are engineered to outperform conventional materials in multiple material properties that require tradeoffs when using metals — making covetics ideal for high-performance applications in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and beyond.

What are Covetics?

Covetics are a revolutionary class of materials that combine the property advantages of both plastics and metals. Covetics are produced by bonding carbon to metal in a novel manner, resulting in a single-phase compound with properties unlike any other material on Earth.

What Makes Covetics Different

Covetics are a new class of engineered materials created by bonding carbon to metal at the atomic level. Unlike alloys or coatings, covetics form a single-phase compound with uniform structure and enhanced performance.

  • Higher strength and strength to weight ratio
  • Improved thermal and electrical properties
  • Improved corrosion resistance, similar to plastics
  • Scalable production through licensing partnerships
  • Anisotropy allows for vectoring properties in preferred directions.

Why are engineers switching to Covetics?

Discover how covetics outperform conventional materials in real-world product development — and why innovators are making the change.

Where Covetics Are Used

Covetics are ideal for applications where the desired property enhancements are difficult to obtain without tradeoffs when using metals and alloys, such as:
  • Aerospace – electronics, heat dissipation, EMI shielding, optics
  • Microelectronics and Sensors – thin films, corrosion resistance, CTE matching
  • Military and Defense – durable components under extreme conditions

In addition to markets where luxury and durability are desired, such as:

  • Jewelry and Luxury Goods – improved properties and the rarest material on Earth

If you're designing a product that needs material property enhancements - covetics might be the material you're looking for.

How Covetics Are Made

Carbon and metal are bonded using plasma arc chemistry to create a non-carbide bond between carbon and metal. The result is a stable, uniform material — not an alloy, not a coating — but a single-phase, carbon-metal compound that performs like nothing else.

Developed through years of R&D, covetics are built for
real-world manufacturability.
