EONCOAT Story of success
​Permanent Corrosion Protection
Atmospheric | CUI | Tank Bottom
In the 1990s, Chemically bonded phosphate ceramics (CBPCs) were created by Argonne National Laboratory/University of Chicago as a durable binder for radioactive and hazardous wastes, with a projected lifespan of thousands of years. Initially, these ceramics were primarily used in nuclear plants and military contexts. However, Tony Collins, a serial entrepreneur, became interested in their potential after reading Dr. Arun Wagh's book titled "Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics." Collins subsequently collaborated with Argonne, guiding the research towards commercial applications and acquiring the commercial technology rights. Through ongoing research, this collaboration eventually resulted in the development of EONCOAT.
