Graphene enhanced PAEK Thermoplastics Agreement
Versarien plc (AIM:VRS) ("Versarien" or the "Company" or the "Group"), the advanced materials group, is pleased to announce an agreement with Scafell Organics Ltd ("Scafell") to develop graphene enhanced polyaryletherketones (PAEK) materials.
PAEK materials are a family of semi-crystalline thermoplastics with high-temperature stability and high mechanical strength. They are used for a very wide variety of specialist applications, including in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Scafell is an independent, specialist producer of niche polymer chemicals primarily for the chemical, pharmaceutical and aerospace markets.
It is intended that Versarien will utilise Scafell's facilities and production expertise to produce graphene enhanced PAEK materials using Versarien supplied graphene nano platelets. It is anticipated that these graphene enhanced materials will be available for sale by Versarien through its sales team as well as Scafell's customers.
David Bowen FRSC, Director of Scafell, commented: "Scafell Organics Ltd are pleased to announce a new collaboration with Versarien. This collaboration will allow the development and production of a range of new and exciting high performance polymers for niche applications."
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted to have reached agreement with Scafell to utilise their expertise in PAEK materials. PAEK plastics are high value specialist polymer materials exhibiting superb mechanical properties which we have proven independently can be enhanced through the use of our graphene nano-platelets. We have already had enquiries from our customer base to use these materials and look forward to developing a range of specialist materials that meet the needs of industry. We are looking forward to working with Scafell and accelerating the time to market for graphene enhanced PAEK products. This is another example of us developing our graphene technology in our chosen areas of carbon fibre composites, polymers and batteries."
