Why leading OEMs choose Kriya
Most coating suppliers cover a narrow refractive index window and leave you to manage multi-supplier qualification. Kriya delivers the widest PFAS-free RI platform from a single source — formulated, manufactured, and quality-controlled in-house.
01
One platform, one supplier
Most OEMs need 3-5 suppliers to cover RI 1.3-1.9. Kriya covers 1.16-2.00 from a single source. One qualification. One supply chain. One point of contact. Four chemistry families — sol-gel, UV-curable, 100% solids, and thermal-curable latex — all manufactured at our facility in Nuth, The Netherlands.

02
PFAS-free across the full range
Every competitor's low-RI coating relies on fluorinated chemistry. Kriya offers PFAS-free alternatives across the entire RI 1.16-2.00 range — eliminating reformulation risk when EU PFAS restriction takes effect. Overcoatable PFAS-free LRI down to 1.16 is unique in the industry.

Bottom-up synthesis — measurably better
Competitors grind bulk material down to nano size (top-down). Kriya synthesises from atoms up (bottom-up), yielding narrow particle size distributions and superior optical clarity. The result: haze below 0.3% at automotive grade where top-down competitors deliver above 1.7%.

Multi-functional — more from less
One coating layer that combines anti-reflection, anti-static, anti-fouling, and hardcoat. Fewer process steps. Lower BOM cost. Better performance. That is what 20 years of compounding R&D delivers — from single-function coatings to integrated material systems.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| RI range | 1.16 - 2.00 (single source) | Up to ~1.9 | ~1.1 - 1.5 | Depends on combination |
| PFAS-free | 100% across full range | Not positioned | Often fluorinated | Mixed / unknown |
| Sample lead time | 2 weeks (stock), 2-6 weeks (custom) | 4-12 weeks | 4-12 weeks | Slowest supplier wins |
| Delivery format | Ready-to-coat, line-matched | Nanoparticle dispersion | Spin-on dielectric | Multiple formats to integrate |
| Qualification | 1 supplier, 1 audit | 1 supplier per RI window | 1 supplier per RI window | 3-5 audits, 3-5 supply agreements |
| MOQ | 200 kg | Often 1,000 kg+ | Often 1,000 kg+ | Varies per supplier |
| Haze (ATO) | < 0.3% (automotive grade) | N/A | N/A | > 1.7% (top-down) |
| Multi-functional coatings | AR + AS + AF + HC in 1 layer | Single function | Single function | Requires multiple layers |
