LumiShield Technologies

LumiShield, a spinoff company from Carnegie Mellon and the National Energy Technology Laboratory, has developed a novel, chrome-free pretreatment process called Lumidize®. Established in 2015, LumiShield’s technology delivers powerful and economical corrosion prevention and improved paint adhesion. The Pittsburgh-based team continues to grow and has demonstrated a robust, scalable process with customers and collaborators. When fully commercialized, Lumidize will displace many less sustainable technologies based on heavy metals and phosphates.
