Take a look at today's RNS:

Bill Burger, Chief Executive of NexTech, said of the achievement: "We are very excited about surpassing the 400 Wh/kg mark in our pre-production prototype cells, and we look forward to shipping these next generation batteries to our long-term partners and first strategic customers." [For comparison, standard Lithium-Ion batteries have an energy density of 100-265 Wh/kg.] !!!

"Transportation electrification and renewable energy storage are some of the key targets for NexTech's vision, and making lightweight, safe and affordable batteries available to the world is part of our exciting future. Demonstrating above 400 Wh/kg in a practical system has been touted the holy grail for many of these applications to become a commercial reality and clearly achieving this milestone today positions NexTech in the driver seat to the EV race."

Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive of Directa Plus, commented: "This is a fantastic achievement by NexTech and I congratulate the team. Material science and engineering are crucial in responding to global challenges such as increased demand in energy. For us at Directa, this also represents the opening of a new, high potential vertical market that could use large amounts of our products."

Was that trade of 12 shares a buy or sell'

TT on a similar vein of a Covid accessory becoming a cash cow - check out The Mission Grouop (TMG) and the BBC article I mention there is v interesting on mindset:Covid is here to stay, so the elimination approach is misguided...adapt!

Thanks for that bbluesky - very useful and comprehensive 60 page piece of research.
Cheers

Cenkos don't agree!

Directa Plus Plc
Material upside

Directa Plus is a commercially proven graphene supplier with a unique
production process that creates high quality materials that are already
used in a wide array of products internationally across multiple verticals.
We expect the company to reach EBITDA positive in FY22 with existing
cash reserves, leaving material upside in our expectations from some of
its recently developed products such as the Co-Mask and Gipave.
We see Directa Plus as an underappreciated, undervalued and more
mature and lower risk play in the UK listed graphene and speciality
nanomaterials space and initiate with a Buy recommendation and 122p
target price.

To be fair they are quite well valued at this £46m cap (imo) and even the bridge they worked on was another freebie not a contract which was a bit disappointing to find out through research and google translate.

Revenue 200% not profit, but still a great effort

[eggy toast] 24/9/2020 07:32

200% profit reported today.

Still no interest in these guys?

Received my G+graphene mask today,quite impressed,it is not annoying on the face like all the other masks I’ve been wearing since March,this G+ mask should do me for at least a year if present conditions continue.

VRS also on the move. Is it because of this? Do your own research to see ;-)

[beergut] 19/8/2020 22:38

I have a G+ shirt for running and it's fantastic. If Nike is going with a different supplier that means Directa Plus wouldn't roll over and do a deal at any cost with no profit in it.Which is fine by me.

[sharescoop] 19/8/2020 20:32

So agressive. Not to worry, please don't miss the surge when VRS starts to rocket. It's coming

What would you know sloppy seconds? Do you not think there is a NIKE deal in play?

[sloppyjoe2] 19/8/2020 18:09

If you believe what SuperG and RTG say you will believe literally anything.

[sharescoop] 19/8/2020 17:53

Both Super and Roger TG confirming what I'd been told and that's a NIKE deal is in play for VRS.

Rubber duck

[sharescoop] 19/8/2020 16:54

Reasons why the image may be what it displays for the following reasons1 VRS have a longstanding collaboration with MAS for textiles (apparel) development with graphinks and graphene.2 MAS Holdings is known to be a core supplier to NIKE for apparel, it's the second largest supplier to NIKE worldwide (Wikipedia)3 VRS executives passed around a sports t-shirt at an open investor event, there were pictures on twitter. The garment was quickly called back to the front of the room and the label removed but not before some long term investors caught a glimpse of it.4 VRS have just received £2 million of an innovate loan to accelerate the G-Scale and they have declared G-Scale includes L for Leisure (it's in an RNS) which reads as apparel to most seasoned investors. 5 VRS have also confirmed by RNS that the loan is to significantly increase its manufacture of quality assured graphene / intended to facilitate the production of sufficient quantities of graphene by Versarien to enable market supply of commercial quantities of graphene enhanced materials .6 The photo has not been discredited or denied with evidence by any long term holders .To me, if it looks like duck and has all the hallmarks of a duck , it's very likely a duck .Its a pretty compelling case .

Is VRS about to go whoosh?

What they do.TextilesDirecta Plus PLC (LON:DCTA) has signed deals with consumer brands Oakley and Bioracer, which used the company's Graphene Plus (G+) to launch a cycling jersey in early July.Alfredo Grassi, another customer, is one of Italy's largest workwear suppliers while G+ will also be used to treat a range of jeans made by Arvind, one of India's top textile groups. Directa Plus is also part of a €1mln EU-sponsored initiative to develop a digital printing method for textiles using graphene.Transport, oil and gasDirecta is working with Marangoni – one of Italy's leading re-tread companies – to produce better performing tyres for commercial buses and lorries.Cycle tyre maker Vittoria was the first manufacturer to use Directa's products, firstly in a carbon fibre wheel, and then in "intelligent" bicycle tyres.Grafysorber In the oil and gas sector, the firm has joined forces with Italian firm Sartec to develop a commercial-scale industrial system using its graphene-based Grafysorber product for treating oil-contaminated produced water.Directa owns a majority stake in oil services partner, Romanian firm Setcar.How it's doingDeals and partnerships continue to flow through at a healthy pace.The latest was a technical and commercial agreement with Italdesign, part of VW and a global leader in automotive design and engineering.Signed for an initial nine years, teh agreement is to explore, test, and build automotive components that are enhanced by the properties of the company's proprietary graphene technology.Applications could include car interiors, paints, and mechanical components.Meanwhile, Directa has received a patent from the Italian Patent Office for its G+ graphene to improve the performance of rubber-based shoe outsoles.The patent covers both the formula containing G+ and the outsole made with the formula.https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/218240/directa-plus-pioneers-graphene-use-as-sector-evolves-218240.html
