Haydale a Global leader in particle Plasma processing techniques and the world’s largest “top down” producer of Plasma exfoliated Graphene Flakes and Graphene bearing Nano Platelets.
The technology, developed over a period of seven years and driven in cooperation with Swansea University is unique in its ability to clean, exfoliate, liberate and surface engineer a vast range of material enhancing nano materials.
The Haydale Split Plasma functionalization meets industry challenges by transforming raw Graphene and CNT’s in to a highly nano engineered, homogeneously dispersible material enhancing nano filler that is easily processed within a thermoplastic or a resin system which is able to deliver highly elevated composite performance characteristics.
Today Haydale supplies and supports its customers in aerospace, energy, defence , automotive, and telecommunications with grams for pilot development through to tonnes for product realisation.
The full range of Haydale HDPlas™ branded research materials can be found at the HDPlas™ tab above.
HDPlas™ is the brand name for the supply of Split- Plasma treated carbon materials from the ICL Group. The online superstore has now been launched. www.hdplas.co.uk
The split-plasma process is significantly quicker and substantially more cost efficient than current methods and is environmentally friendly whereas current “wet” methods that universally use acid based processes inevitably damage the structural integrity and hence mechanical strength of the carbon-based powder. Often this method does not remove the residual catalyst metals remaining from the initial industrial process.
In addition the chemical engineer has an almost impossible job looking to tailor the right types of functional groups on the material to aid dispersion into a host matrix.
To this end, Haydale are now able to offer a range of GNP with various functionalities and volumes.
Critically organizations can then test material, run pilot trials to evaluate technology and products they are developing knowing that if they are suited to commercial production the volumes are available. The supply of volume, quality GNPs is an issue which Haydale, can now deal with and unlock the potential of graphene and other carbon-based nano materials
