About Surrey NanoSystems
At Surrey Nanosystems, we develop Vantablack®, a family of ultra-black, spray-applied coatings engineered for unmatched stray light suppression in both the visible and infrared spectrum. Originally designed for the most demanding aerospace and scientific applications, our coatings deliver exceptionally low total hemispherical reflectance (THR), absorbing light from all angles to simplify optical system design and eliminate unwanted glare in sensors. Beyond their world-leading optical performance, Vantablack coatings are built to withstand extreme environments—from low Earth orbit to high-performance automotive systems—without degrading over the lifetime of the sensor. Whether in space or on the road, our technology tackles issues like glare, ghosting, and reduced signal-to-noise ratios, ensuring optimal imaging performance. Where we work: Space-qualified coatings applied in our UK facility for mission-critical aerospace systems Automotive coatings supplied in bulk to high-volume application partners across China, Vietnam, Europe, and Mexico In-house advanced testing facilities for Space and Automotive applications Our production coatings include: Space-qualified, UV to FIR carbon nanotube coating for baffles, LiDAR, and aerospace optics IR-optimised (3–30µm) coating for space and terrestrial blackbody systems and cold shields Nanomaterial-free, ADAS glare suppression coating for camera shields and head-up displays (HUDs) We help our clients simplify designs, reduce launch mass, and improve driver safety in the most challenging lighting conditions on Earth and beyond.
