Nanotech Company Boosts Production Due To US, Europe Demand

An Israeli company whose nanomaterial enhances the properties of plastics used in cars, planes and trains is dramatically increasing its production capabilities due to growing demand from the American and European markets.

The proprietary additives developed by Petah Tikva-based Nemo Nanomaterials are based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and can be mass produced in order to supplement a large range of parts.

The company’s new production line will allow it to produce 50 tons of its NemoBLEND annually, while already planning a new facility that will allow it to produce hundreds of tons each year – expected to go online in 2025.

Nemo Nanomaterials says its NemoBLEND is used for electrical conductivity, eliminating the need for a metal layer that acts as a conductor in many products, and for electromagnetic interference, being embedded into plastic to prevent a disruption in the operation of electronic devices such as radar and sensors, usually caused by electromagnetic signals. 

“Nemo Nanomaterials emphasizes a range of standardized products tailored to diverse needs across segments and applications,” said the company’s CEO Alexander Zinigrad.

“The new production line, that will be located in Petah Tikva, is set to specialize in thermoplastic materials, catering to varied plastic requirements.”
