Atmospheric Plasma Solutions (APS) is a machinery manufacturer based in Cary, North Carolina, focused on coating removal for difficult-to-treat finishes across marine, aviation, defense, and commercial applications. Its PlasmaBlast system uses atmospheric-pressure plasma generated from a low-pressure air source and electricity to convert coatings and sealants into harmless gases that are removed, offering a non-abrasive alternative to traditional methods and reducing containment needs and waste disposal. The technology aims to lower labor costs and improve safety and environmental profiles while enabling treatment of both flat and complex surfaces on assets such as ships, oil rigs, pipelines, water tanks, and bridges. APS markets its solutions to government and commercial users and has pursued customers through mechanisms such as a U.S. General Services Administration schedule contract for its mobile surface preparation tool, reflecting its interest in serving large-scale, professional settings. The company positions itself within the surface-preparation and coating-removal segment of the machinery manufacturing industry, leveraging its patented and proprietary approach to deliver an alternative to grit blasting, laser, and water jet methods. A recent development noted in its activity includes participation in industry events and the introduction of a new system, Plionyx, targeting both commercial and military applications.
