What Vampire Optical Coatings does

Vampire Optical Coatings, Inc. (VOCI) is a privately held specialty coatings manufacturer headquartered in Pataskala, Ohio. The company researches, designs, and manufactures nanotechnology-enabled coatings and precision roll-to-roll coated PET and polycarbonate films, marketed under the proprietary ProtecTuff brand. Its product portfolio centers on multi-layer peel-away protection films (3 to 7 layers), hard-coated films with abrasion and chemical resistance, anti-reflective films achieving greater than 99% light transmission, and electro-static dissipative (ESD) coatings with surface resistivity of 10^6 to 10^7 ohms/square. The company also produces UV-curable coatings (F125M, IM002), Cast and Cure varnishes (TT101), index-matched films for ITO applications, and optically clear adhesives, and holds US distribution rights for KoaTech Technology Corporation's PET protection film series (KPF, CPF, ABS).

The company sells primarily through B2B direct sales targeting five horizontal segments: industrial manufacturing (IC manufacturers, touch panel producers, ITO coaters, display manufacturers, flexible/printed electronics), transit authorities (anti-graffiti films for subway and bus windows), medical and safety equipment manufacturers (respirator lens protectors, face shields, medical visors with UV/blue light blocking), consumer electronics (screen protection), and abrasive processing (sand blasting window protection). Revenue mechanics are quote-based direct sales through phone (740-919-4596) and email ([email protected]), supplemented by toll coating and R&D services. Products are qualified under multiple standards including ASTM E162, ASTM E662, SMP 800-C, CMVSS302/FMVSS302 (Federal Rail Authority), IEC/CSA 60079-0 and ATEX (explosive atmospheres), and EN 60601-1-2 (medical EMC). The company holds the registered ProtecTuff trademark and has patent-pending applications covering multi-layer film architectures and UV-blocking constructions.
