Etaphase has successfully demonstrated structural color in commodity inorganic, non-toxic materials. This advance confirms HUDS as a viable alternative to colorants that are subject to UV degradation and fading, that are toxic, that require the use of toxic solvents, or that are not commercially practical as uniform colorants due to iridescence. HUDS structural color solutions can be used in inks, dyes, paints, in textiles, and in coatings for strong, bright, colors.
