Haydale Graphene Industr... Share Discussion Threads

Given the recent strength in the share price, the open offer shares look a steal. Accordingly I have over-subscribed (by a factor of 4) fully expecting to get scaled back.

We should hear about the open offer allocations sometime tomorrow

Tim,

Seems we're not the only ones on the Brexit/EIS case: www.ft.com/content/fa2da7fa-80d1-11e6-8e50-8ec15fb462f4

New post-results interview with Ray Gibbs (CEO) now available on on Directors talk:

There's a new interview with Ray Gibbs on Proactiveinvestor, explaining the rationale behind the ACMC acquisition:




>>>>18BT, wouldn't that be nice, I doubt if it will happen though

[18bt] 23/9/2016 10:29

timbo - agree on EIS. If I were Phillip Hammond I would use Autumn Statement so say he will reinstate old rules as soon as we leave.

[timbo003] 23/9/2016 09:48

There's lots to read there, but at first sight it looks good.

I'm glad they are including an open offer with the placing, albeit only a small fraction of the total, but I suspect there will be plenty of scope to obtain additional shares as there is an oversubscription facility. The money is for an acquisition, but thanks to the new EIS rules introduced last year (following an EU diktat) there will be no EIS relief available (thanks and good riddance Brussels)

[18bt] 23/9/2016 07:40

Results today read well. Acquisition seems strong, but a little bit disappointed with the placing price. However, at least s/h have a chance to participate.

Just shot up 14p on little trades. ???
Investment trust e.g. HGG interested in taking a position??

Very good news - hopefully something may come from this

Huntsman researching opportunities for graphene-enhanced nanocomposites
The company is working on incorporating graphene into its Araldite epoxy resins.

Huntsman Advanced Materials (The Woodlands, Texas) is researching opportunities for developing graphene-enhanced composite solutions, with a plan to incorporating graphene into its Araldite epoxy resins.

Huntsman’s research involves using a low temperature plasma (under 100 ̊C) patented by one of its partners, Haydale Composite Solutions (Ammanford, UK), which activates and allows modification of the nanomaterial’s surface energy and enables dispersion into a host medium, such as resin. Without using chemical acid treatments which can cause damage and degrade functional performance, this process maintains the structural integrity and mechanical strength of the final product.

Taking test plates cast from the activated graphene mixed into master batches of various concentrations of Araldite epoxy resins, Huntsman has been conducting a series of physical, electrical and thermal tests in the continued evaluation of the composite performance.

So far, an Araldite Euremelt hot melt resin and a general purpose epoxy resin have been specified to look at developing new prepreg applications using the former and advance other types of composite processes, such as filament winding and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), with the latter.

Initial results have reportedly shown that these Araldite graphene reinforced resins offer greater dimensional and thermal stability in addition to improved impact resistance, properties that through further investigation could offer major performance benefits.

One particular area identified for future development is the market for electronic devices, where the electrical conductive properties of graphene-enhanced systems could help with electrostatic discharge and dispersion of excess heat, issues frequently linked to mobile phones and other portable devices.

Research into utilizing graphene’s electrical conductive properties in prepregs to improve the protection of composites against lightning strikes is also in place. In the future, it’s expected that there will be many application areas for structures prone to lightning strikes, such as aircraft, wind turbines and tall buildings.

“We continue to make good progress in collaborative developments and have been particularly impressed with the improvements already made in the areas of thermal, electrical and mechanical performance," says David Hatrick, European Technology Director of Huntsman Advanced Materials.

The excellent thermal conductive properties identified mean that these graphene-enhanced nanocomposite systems should theoretically be able to manage the dissipation of heat generated by the exothermic curing of the resin more effectively in the casting process and tests continue in this area. Harnessing graphene to solve this issue could potentially reduce cracking or voids occurring due to expansion and this would allow large volumes of composite material to be cast.

Introducing graphene components into the composite mix could also deliver parts with high surface energy, improving the performance of coatings and paint finishes and reducing the need for primers.

As tests have also shown that the graphene-enhanced resin is stronger and lighter than traditional materials, there’s also scope to manufacture parts using less material, factors that could potentially move this technology from the high-end into the mass market for a wide range of applications – from sports equipment through to the mainstream automotive market.

Hatrick concludes, “This work is set to deliver the platform for a new range of graphene-enhanced Araldite resins that will benefit the industrial composites, automotive, aerospace and other markets besides. We are now focused on the further demonstration of these resins in composites manufactured with a range of typical processes used by our end customers.”

Video interview with Ray Gibbs



Ray Gibbs, CEO of Haydale Graphene Industries PLC (LON:HAYD) expects Thailand–based ink and composites group Innophene to
"perform very well, very quickly."
Gibbs says the acquisition has added another piece to Haydale's portfolio in a country that the CEO describes as a "fast and moving vibrant area in Asia."
Haydale, according to Gibbs, is morphing itself into the sales and marketing side of the organisation and the Innophene purchase, while located in South East Asia, will help Haydale's business elsewhere.

This sounds like a useful bolt on acquisition which comes with a bonus....

A transparent graphene enhanced conductive ink?

It sounds as if the old mantra of any colour providing its black may no longer apply!

I'm looking forward to hearing more....

and there is another Ray Gibbs telephone interview here:

Following this morning's announcement from Haydale on 3D printing inks there's now a new interview with Ray Gibbs on Proactive investor:

[someuwin] 11/8/2016 10:06

Commenting on the feedback from 3D printing companies, Gerry Boyce, Managing Director of HCS said:

"We are very excited about the development of graphene enhanced thermoplastic materials for 3D printing. These new materials offer so many benefits including the ability to make parts stiffer, stronger and faster! Speed of print has historically been a barrier to wide scale take up of 3D printing. In the future, the thought of making structural components direct from CAD excites us enormously."

The WSG boys are in town Timmb

[someuwin] 11/8/2016 09:11

Today's news has huge implications imo

Have bought in.

[t350toad] 01/8/2016 19:24

I see Haydale have partnered with BAC to produce components for the next gen mono. Article shown online today on carmagazine. co. uk

[petewy] 28/7/2016 09:41

Quote: "The graphene composite used in the car was made by Haydale, a technology firm based in Carmarthenshire."

Timbo: Any views on NANO. I was in at about 40p but go out in March.
Directa seems to have settled.

[timbo003] 27/7/2016 10:11

Ray Gibbs TV star

The new Graphene exhibition at Manchester seems to be generating a fair bit of press interest (Good job PR team).

[georgeg2] 15/7/2016 11:20

There is very little stock about. I can't buy more than 1000 shares at a time.

[knownowt] 13/7/2016 05:43

An excellent find, Timbo. Thank you very much for posting it.

[timbo003] 11/7/2016 22:26

I see from one of Haydale's recent tweets that this new presentation appeared on the Company website last week.



There's some interesting technical data as well as some commercial numbers on potential market size for various applications

[timbo003] 01/7/2016 20:34

>>>FF and petewy, thanks for the feedback

The open day handouts are now available on the Haydale Web site, well worth a look to get a feel for what's going on:

[fightfear] 29/6/2016 21:25

Thank you again for a fantastic summary Timbo
Very informative - as always

[petewy] 28/6/2016 09:10

Thanks Timbo. Read with enthusiasm.
