## About

Based in Swansea, UK, and founded in 2015 by CEO Patrick Dodds, Hexigone Inhibitors Ltd. operates as a manufacturing company providing hexigone inhibitors and chemical intelligent coatings for protecting assets. In June 2026, Hexigone Inhibitors Ltd. raised GBP 800,000 in seed funding from UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund’s and UK Ministry of Defence. The round was part of a larger GBP 1.2 million equity and venture debt funding.

Hexigone Inhibitors Ltd. developed a product known as Intelli-ion, which is a smart corrosion inhibitor that offers a sustainable alternative to conventional methods. The technology features a patented micro-reservoir system that releases corrosion inhibitors on demand, protecting metal surfaces only when needed. The company’s Intelli-ion is a chromate, phosphate, and heavy metal-free, and can be used either as a complete replacement for existing inhibitors or as a co-blend with phosphate-based systems, offering flexibility in application.

The company will use the funding to scale production, expand into overseas markets, and develop circular manufacturing for its corrosion inhibitor technology.
