The characteristics of environmental stability and resistance to high temperatures make the Vantablack Vision coating suitable for automotive ADAS and several industrial applications.

Surrey NanoSystems has recently presented Vantablack Vision, a light-suppression coating designed for automotive ADAS and several industrial applications. Technically speaking, the new product consists of a two-component coating applied by using spray technology – thus delivering good optical performance.

In collaboration with the Filk Freiberg Institute (Germany), Vantablack Vision has passed rigorous tests, showing environmental stability and high temperature resistance, making it suitable for enclosed spaces subjected to harsh conditions. Vantablack Vision can also suppress stray light by outperforming conventional approaches, such as matte black paint or flocking.

Aidan Metcalfe, the business development director of Surrey NanoSystems, highlighted the importance of Vantablack Vision in contributing to the automotive industry's efforts to improve safety standards for road users. The introduction of the coating is in line with the industry's roadmap to improve road safety through ADAS, classified according to the degree of automation and the system's ability to operate without driver intervention.
