Delivery of Two New Plasma Reactors
29 December 2014
Haydale Graphene Industries plc (AIM:HAYD), the Company focused
on enabling technology for the commercialisation of graphene, whose
functionalisation process has been verified by the National
Physical Laboratory, is pleased to announce the arrival of two new
Rotovac plasma reactors. These reactors, designed in collaboration
with Haydale and built by Tantec A/S, have been delivered and are
currently being commissioned.
Ray Gibbs, CEO at Haydale, commented:
"As we announced on 23 October, these two new machines will
increase our capacity and operational flexibility to meet the
anticipated further increase in demand in 2015. The delivery of
these reactors represents the achievement of another milestone in
the development targets we set out at the time of our IPO.
Commissioning has already begun and we expect these reactors to be
fully operational in January 2015. We will then be capable of
functionalising a significantly higher volume and range of
graphenes and other carbon nanomaterials to enable effective
dispersion into target materials such as thermoplastics, thermosets
and specific fluids. The commercialisation of these nano-enhanced
materials requires the correct dispersion as a pre-requisite for
enhanced performance of both monolithic and composite systems to
enable the raw material manufacturer and industrial user to realise
the true technical and commercial opportunities that nano
enhancement provides to the end user.
"We see the market as needing material of a consistent,
repeatable quality that can then be scaled up even further as
demand increases. Accordingly, we have ordered a further plasma
reactor, which is larger and will also be used as a demonstrator.
This is expected to be delivered within three months and will
provide us with substantial volume capability as well as the
ability to control the reactor remotely which is essential as
Haydale seeks to install them into customers' production
facilities."

About Haydale
Haydale has developed a patent-pending proprietary scalable
plasma process to functionalise graphene and other nanomaterials.
This enabling technology can provide Haydale with a rapid and
highly cost-efficient method of supplying tailored solutions to
enhance applications for both raw material suppliers and product
manufacturers.
Functionalisation is carried out through a low-pressure plasma
process that treats both mined, organic fine powder and other
synthetically produced nanomaterial powders, producing high-quality
few layered graphenes and graphene nanoplatelets. The process can
functionalise with a range of chemical groups, with the level of
functionalisation tailored to the customer's needs. Good dispersion
improves the properties and performance of the host material and
ensures the final product performs as specified.
The Haydale plasma process does not use wet chemistry, nor does
it damage the material being processed; rather, it can clean up any
impurities inherent in the raw material. The technology is a low
energy user and most importantly environmentally friendly. The
Haydale method is an enabling technology, allowing the Company to
work with a raw material producer who seeks to add value to the
base product and tailor the outputs to meet the target applications
of the end user.
Haydale, based in South Wales and housed in a purpose-built
facility for processing and handling nanomaterials, is facilitating
the application of graphenes and other nanomaterials in fields such
as inks, sensors, energy storage, photovoltaics, composites, paints
and coatings.
