Cold Gas Technology

CGT Cold Gas Technology GmbH was a German engineering company specializing in cold gas spraying (CGS) technology, a process for applying high-quality metal and ceramic coatings at low temperatures. The company's proprietary Kinetiks systems are used in the medical technology sector to apply bioactive coatings, such as hydroxyapatite and titanium, onto orthopedic and dental implants to improve biocompatibility and bone integration. By operating below the melting point of the materials, the technology preserves the structural integrity and chemical properties of the coatings, which is essential for long-term implant success. In 2012, the company's assets were acquired by Sulzer Metco (now Oerlikon Metco), which continues to provide these cold spray solutions for healthcare and industrial applications.
