Backed by experience

Eleven years of formulating and supplying, behind every sample.

The team behind BetterMatter has formulated and supplied coatings for 11 years through other businesses. We now focus entirely on lower-impact materials, so the people recommending an alternative have formulated, tested and shipped materials themselves.

We know what a spec sheet does not tell you, we know how a material behaves in a workshop, and we know what your production team will accept.
