Deploy Nano-Polishing for Next-Level Performance, Durability, and Profitability

A licensing pathway that increases device capability, lifecycle value, and margin expansion — with minimal impact on COGS.

Path To Partnership

Trial Run 

Stage 1 · Test Sampling
Planatome nano-polishes samples so the OEM can run its own in-house validation — no cost, no commitment.

We Run

Stage 2 · Pilot / Development
Planatome nano-polishing as a paid service while the OEM pilots or develops specific products, markets or customers.

You Run

Stage 3 · Commercial License
Planatome supports nano-polish technology integration into the OEM’s manufacturing line — NRE + license fee.
