Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. is a company based in the United States and Canada specializing in the implementation of advanced coatings applied to the insides (ID) of Pipes, tubes, and barrels for defense, aerospace, petrochemical, and energy applications. The company is known for its trademarked EPVD and CoatAlloy technologies.[1][2]
History
[edit]Paradigm Shift Technologies was founded in 1995 in Edmonton, Alberta by Dr. Gennady Yumshtyk, initially focusing on solutions for the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. The company later expanded its focus to the defense sector, developing innovative coating techniques for gun barrels and other military applications. In 2000, the company established its headquarters in Toronto, Ontario[3][2] and has international offices in Dallas and Buffalo.[1]
Technologies
[edit]EPVD (Enhanced Physical Vapor Deposition)
[edit]EPVD is a proprietary coating technique commercialized by Paradigm Shift Technologies to replace traditional approaches in high-stress and severe-impact applications, particularly for gun barrels and tubular products.[4][5] The process uses magnetic fields to improve traditional physical vapor deposition, resulting in improved productivity and superior coating properties.[6][7][8]
CoatAlloy™
[edit]CoatAlloy is an advanced application developed for the oil, gas, petrochemical, and green energy industries. It leverages the company's coating expertise to create high-performance, corrosion- and erosion-resistant coatings for Pipes, tubes, and other components, which extends their life and reduces maintenance and overhaul cycles.[9][10]
Partnerships and Recognition
[edit]Paradigm Shift Technologies has built partnerships with countries around the world, in sectors of defense and industrial advancements.[11][12]
