OCSiAl has announced Arya Chem of Canada, and Kathion Chemie De Mexico and NASEDA of Mexico will market graphene nanotube concentrates and suspensions to facilitate a new set of properties in resin-based composites and liquid coatings. These products feature the only form of graphene available to industry.
Markets Fully Ready for Graphene Nanotubes
Being known for manufacturing high-quality products at affordable prices and delivering across the North America region, Mexico and Canada are always on the look-out for new solutions to upgrade materials, granting them new properties that were not previously possible.
“
These markets demonstrate full readiness for innovative graphene nanotube solutions for thermoset applications such as special industrial coatings, primers, etc. We have signed new distribution agreements with Arya Chem, NASEDA (Nacional de Servicios Dargue), and Kathion, creating a strong local supply chain for nanotube solutions in North America,” said Sergey Zasukhin, business development director for Canada, Mexico, Central and South America at OCSiAl.
Additives to Fulfill the Needs of Automotive Sector
One of the drivers for composites and coatings producers is the automotive industry, among other sectors. “
The auto industry sets high requirements for technologically complex components and new materials. TUBALL™ nanotubes, produced by OCSiAl, allow our customers to achieve a full set of properties: The required level of conductivity combined with retained or even improved mechanical performance, and a wide color palette for the final product. We believe that this is the conductive additive with the best cost-performance balance,” said NASEDA managing director Francisco Gonzalez. The company has been granted distribution rights for graphene nanotube solutions in thermoset applications in South and Central Mexico.
Currently TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes are marketed in more than 45 countries around the world. Nanotube masterbatches are already used to produce high-performance materials for the automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, construction, electronics, printing, and other industries.
