About APJeT Plasma Technologies
Who We Are
APJeT®, Inc. is an advanced technology company specializing in atmospheric plasma located in the Research Triangle Park in Morrisville, NC. We develop proprietary atmospheric plasma technology for surface activation, coating, and disinfection applications. Our technologies have been successfully utilized in a variety of industries including textiles, biotech, automotive, and telecommunications.
APJeT began as a lab-based entity at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Santa Fe, New Mexico and later relocated to an incubator space at the NCSU Wilson College of Textiles in Raleigh, NC in 2009. In close collaboration with NCSU, the company focused on coatings for the textile industry, utilizing its high-powered plasma technology to cure functional chemical finishes.
Today these proprietary GreenFIX™ functional finishes include water and oil repellency, release, anti-microbial, wicking, and flame resistance coatings. APJeT’s proprietary driSTREAM™, technology utilizes these proprietary blends in a unique inkjet printing system that can apply and cure these chemistries into patterns for perspiration management and unique other applications.
In 2018, under new leadership, APJeT expanded its reach into additional markets and applications including building materials, paper, and films.
In 2020, the company was first-to-market with its groundbreaking air and surface disinfection systems, the COVIDINATOR™ and APSanX™, which use ambient air to disinfect room air and sterilize surfaces to reduce the spread of viruses like COVID-19 and lessen the risk of future pandemics.
Since then, APJeT has expanded the commercial applications for its cold plasma technology to surface activation (APtivate™) and has partnered with a global manufacturer of telecommunications infrastructure. The APtivate™ technology activates materials for improved adhesion, bonding, dyeability, and improved printability in assembly and manufacturing processes.

What is Plasma?
Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter.
It is generated when energy, usually in the form of electricity, is added to molecules in the gaseous state. This additional energy causes the gas molecules to ionize, forming charged particles.
These charged particles will interact with each other inside an electric field, forming additional highly-reactive species. These highly-reactive species can be used to modify surfaces, induce chemical reactions, and kill pathogens.
When energy is removed from a plasma (power turned off), the electrons and ions rapidly recombine, returning the ionized gas back to a safe, inert state.
APJeT is an expert at engineering and optimizing plasma and offers plasma systems for Surface Activation, Coatings, and Sterilization/Disinfection.
