APS' unique chemical grafting process results in properties being permanently attached to the substrate with the use of a specialized substrate activator and monomer system. Following are the most common used substrates and desired properties for use with APS' process (this list should only be used as a reference of the process' capabilities and not a limit as to what it can do):

Metals
steels, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, zinc, nickel
Corrosion resistance, abrasion/wear resistance, impact resistance, lubricity, conductivity, temperature resistance, color

Plastics
polyolefins, PVC, polycarbonate, ABS, nylon, polyester, polystyrene, acrylic
Oxygen and moisture barrier, nonflammability, scratch/abrasion resistance, increased structural strength, UV resistance, adhesion to other materials, flavor barrier

Rubbers
natural, synthetic
Chemical resistance, lubricity, UV/ozone resistance, fuel barrier, conductivity, adhesion

Textiles
cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, fibers, yarns
Nonflammability, hydrophobicity, alteration of "hand", anti-static, stain resistance, increased dye receptivity

Glass/Ceramics
blown, fiber, sheet
Scratch/abrasion resistance, adhesion of water based inks, decorative finishes, shatter resistance, UV barrier, water repellency

Biopolymers
hair, skin, teeth
Slow release, increased comfort to skin, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, bactericidial/fungicidal properties

Wood/Paper
Bactericidal/fungicidal/mold resistance, moisture barrier, nonflammability, increased tear strength, adhesion to paints and inks, adhesion to other
materials

The ingredients in all APS formulations will be completely safe, can be water based in many cases, and will conform to OSHA, EPA and, if required, FDA guidelines.
