UK-based company, Perpetuus Advanced Materials has signed an exclusive commercial contract with German-based company, Heraeus.
Perpetuus Advanced Materials specializes in advanced materials development, while Heraeus is a top international precious metals and technology group with its headquarters at Hanau, Germany.
In lieu of this partnership, Heraeus has concluded customer feedback and quality control exercises based on nano carbon, high conductivity, low temperature, graphene-based inks from Perpetuus. Heraeus and Perpetuus will introduce the latest range of high quality and cost effective pastes. Production is scheduled to begin immediately.
According to the Perpetuus Board, the combination of Perpetuus’ sophisticated nano materials and Heraeus’ ability to produce pastes and inks on a large scale demonstrates the first ever commercial application of plasma functionalized nano carbon enabled technologies.
"I am proud to announce what I believe to be a world first in plasma processed advanced material enabled technology. With the New Materials economy now truly upon us and having seen large price fluctuations in silver since 2001, we are delighted that Heraeus has become the first business to offer their customers ‘conductive carbon’ alternatives using Perpetuus Advanced Material technology. We look forward to further developing our commercial relationship with Heraeus as we continue to work together to unlock the huge potential of this new generation of inks and pastes," said John Buckland, CEO of Perpetuus Advanced Materials.
"Innovation has been a cornerstone for Heraeus for nearly 160 years and we look for strategic partnerships with companies whose vision is clearly focused on the future. Perpetuus has demonstrated their ability to produce some truly breakthrough pastes and inks, and we are looking forward to taking this innovation from the research lab into the real world to support our customers," added David Malanga, the Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Heraeus Electronics Americas.
