Zyvex and Arkema Announce Strategic Partnership
Arkema recently announced their nanotechnology development efforts with a process to produce and distribute high-quality, multifunctional MWNTs. Their production capabilities currently enable them to manufacture 5,000 kg per year of high-purity nanotubes at their Lacq site (France).
Zyvex commercializes nanomaterials with their NanoSolve TM product line, providing additives and concentrates with exfoliated and dispersed nanomaterials, with adhesion to various polymers. Zyvex NanoSolve can deliver enhanced thermal, electrical, or mechanical properties by selectively transferring the superior intrinsic properties of carbon nanotubes into composite materials for the Sporting Goods, Aerospace, and Automotive industries.
The Supply Chain Certification process is an integral part of Zyvex's ability to provide high-quality nanomaterials solutions for customer applications. Companies who maintain the consistent level of quality necessary for their products to be used in Zyvex's commercial applications can qualify for Level II Certification. Arkema is the first company to meet these requirements.
