UK Graphene Open for Business with Asia

South Wales, UK | Posted on June 23rd, 2015

The UK exhibit, located on Booth A-025, will promote the collaborative approach between material and technology providers, world class universities and government backed laboratories and innovation centres between the two regions.

Ray Gibbs, CEO for Haydale commented “Korea is a major potential market for our enabling functionalised graphene technology. Graphene is regarded as the next “big thing” in Korea and we believe our technology and UK expertise can make a significant impact. Since entering into our sales and marketing agreement with planarTECH in Korea last August we have met a number of progressive Korean companies and this exhibition will further increase our exposure to the Nano community in Korea.

Haydale is in the process of establishing a wholly owned subsidiary in Korea, Haydale Technologies (Korea) Co., Ltd, located at Regus Gangnam Station Centre in Seoul. Initially the company will be a sales and marketing office managing local sales and support. Thereafter a centre of excellence will be established to include a Haydale reactor offering both functionalisation and advisory services to customers in the region.

Mr Gibbs added ““Our attendance at NANO Korea and the establishment of a new office in Seoul are evidence of Haydale’s focus on the Asian region for the development of new products. Our office opening is an exciting development in the push to globalising our enabling functionalised graphene technology and is another milestone in the delivery of our strategy to establish centres of excellence across the globe”.

About Haydale Ltd.
Haydale, based in South Wales, UK and housed in a purpose-built facility for processing and handling nanomaterials, is facilitating the application of graphene’s and other nanomaterials in fields such as inks, sensors, energy storage, photovoltaics, composites, paints and coatings. 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 graphene’s 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.
