The immediate commercial uses for Zetaⁿ include the long term prevention of corrosion of conductive materials and the prevention of hard marine fouling without a harmful impact on the surrounding environment.  Future uses of Zetaⁿ, patented and under development, range from biomedical applications to replacement of traditional semiconductor devices.

Zetaⁿ provides a long term, cost effective, and environmentally friendly solution for preventing corrosion of conductive materials, now estimated to annually cost is almost $1.9 trillion worldwide. 
Zetaⁿ prevents corrosion by first stabilizing the potential in the protected material and then, through use of its patented semiconductor technology, extends the life of the coating, laboratory-projected to exceed the useful design life of the protected object.

In addition to preventing corrosion, Zetaⁿ utilizes its unique semiconductor technology to permit the use of zinc in the coating as an environmentally friendly method for preventing marine hard fouling on ships and other structures in either fresh or salt water.  The Zetaⁿ semiconductor technology controls and regulates the zinc leach rate into the surrounding environment, significantly reducing it to as low as 0.001 micrograms per cm² per day.  This is well below the US Navy maximum allowable zinc release rate of 15 micrograms per cm² per day.  Approved for use inside potable water containers, Zetaⁿ provides the marine industry a safe, long lasting, and cost effective alternative to the banned tributyltin (TBT) and other organic toxins for preventing hard marine fouling.

With numerous potential future uses for Zetaⁿ, Applied Semiconductor intends to pursue a continuing research program.  Key among the current areas of research are the prevention of corrosion, fouling, and rejection of biomedical devices implanted in the human body, and the tuning and control of the Zetaⁿ electronic circuit to produce economical replacements for traditional semiconductor devices.
