Huntsman acquires Nanocomp Technologies
You invented this new
product, you can produce
small amounts, what is next?
J. G.: After inventing Mi-
any binders or resins added
into it, so it truly is a novel
form of carbon.
What markets are you
targeting?
J. G.: Initially, we were
mostly in space, developing
sort of exotic structural,
radiation shielding, heating
and cabling applications
but in limited quantities.
Now we are taking that specific technology and early
production capability and
going to bigger scale and
commercial markets, such
as automotive. We are taking
our technology, which at
very low concentrations
can be added to Huntsman
adhesives and make them
thermally and electrically
conductive. This is very important in aerospace and automotive applications, where
you don't want charge to
build up between materials.
If you can add a product to
your adhesive that allows the
electricity to flow without
degrading the properties
of that adhesive, it is a very
interesting attribute. And
because we can add far less
than 1% of our material to an
adhesive, we both retain or
improve the properties of the
adhesive while also adding
new conductivity properties.
This is just one scenario
where we play. We also found
out that if you add electricity
to a sheet of our material or
to the yarn, it will emit far-infrared heat energy which
the body feels as warmth. It
is like when the sun comes
out from behind the clouds
and you feel that warmth.
Miralon® emits right in that
same band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is a very
efficient instantaneous heater
for the human body. It could
become a great application in
building energy efficiency.
"
Production of Miralon® sheet
ralon®, we spent the next few
years scaling this up.
We actually have a 6000m²
pilot plant with furnaces
producing sheets, yarns and
dispersion to be added into
adhesives, epoxy resins,
paints, etc. So, we have
multiple product formats in
production at what I would
call "early scale". We are a
revenue-producing company.
What we determined is that
we needed a larger partner to
truly go to scale and to reach
commercial markets and the
capacity that a partner like
Huntsman would bring to
the table. We entered into
a process that resulted in a
successful transaction where
Huntsman acquired Nanocomp at the end of February,
and here we are at JEC World
launching these products to
the world.
