🚀 From the lab to the spotlight!

Our own Alexander Darnley, R&D Manager, has stepped away from research and development for a moment to star in the Institute of Physics' latest hashtag video.

⚫ IOP asked us: Can the blackest material on Earth help protect our view of the night sky?

👇 Watch to discover how blacker can mean better for space science.

Don’t manage stray light—eliminate it.

Using Ansys SPEOS, we compared standard glare shield coatings with Vantablack 230 under identical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) conditions.

Where conventional coatings reflect light and degrade image quality, Vantablack absorbs it at the source delivering clearer, more reliable performance.

Results:
Up to 85% less stray light
16× higher signal-to-noise ratio

Our coatings have evolved from a forest‑like structure to a coral‑inspired architecture. Both engineered to trap light with exceptional efficiency.

Designed in response to market demand, Vantablack® 310 delivers:

⚫ Easy, workshop‑friendly application
⚫ No specialist tools or curing ovens
⚫ Quick purchasing through trusted distributors
⚫ Reliable, repeatable results you can handle

Now available worldwide through Ellsworth Adhesives, making ultra‑black performance more accessible than ever.
