Long description

ABR Innova was founded in Finland in 1995. The company started out building various photonics-related businesses for Nextrom, a subsidiary of Nokia. This gave ABR a stronger leverage in terms of IPR. In 2002, ABR Innova sold its photonics interests in order to focus 100% on large-scale glass and ceramic markets. This soon was extented to steel surfaces as well.

At the core of ABRs products and support services is a novel hot aerosol technique for depositing coatings of nano-scale particles on glass or ceramic surfaces. These provide significant performance benefits:

1. Self-Cleaning: an invisible, bonded layer of nano-particles enables any indoor or outdoor glass inorganic surface (tile, glass, steel) to indefinitely repel accumulations of any organic materials, such as molds or bacteria.

2. Repelling Moisture: the hydrophilic characteristics of certain nanoparticles can be deployed to eradicate the formation of droplets on surfaces.

3. Coloring: by applying nano-particles at working temperatures, glass surfaces can be colored without the need for separate (and expensive) vats of colored glass. Also, glass itself can be created in the aerosol if desired. In addition to cost savings, the technology provides unique possibilities for glass design.

The company also works on advanced projects, developing new applications for its core technology.

ABR has offices in Helsinki, Finland (headquarters); Lohja, Finland (plant) and Silicon Valley, California and has agents in other locations around the world.

Recognizing that new users of nanomaterials will experience learning curve difficulties relating to handling and formulating nanoparticles, we offer a "solutions" approach to customers. If nanoparticles are not dispersed properly in solution, many of their beneficial properties targeted for the product can be lost. Air Products' Performance Material group has more than 40 years experience in developing chemistries and processes to stabilize the most intricate dispersions. We have applied that knowledge into patented technology to create stable nanoparticle dispersions in aqueous, solvent-borne and 100% solids systems. To assure optimum performance, only the highest quality nanoparticles are used . . . particles that disperse uniformly and are consistently sized. By supplying ready-to-use nanoparticle dispersions, we eliminate the need for customers to disperse the particles themselves, and the hassles of handling dry powders.

Air Products offers a series of standard nanoparticle dispersions specifically tailored for the development of transparent, colorless coatings with antistatic, conductive, fade-resistant and heat-blocking properties. Custom dispersions are also available. Our application engineers look forward to the opportunity to discuss your unique application. They will help determine the right particles and the best dispersing system to add-in needed properties to your system.

Aspen Aerogels, Inc. is the global leader in Aerogel technology. Aerogels are nanoporous, light weight materials that exhibit extraordinarily low thermal and acoustic conductivity. Aerogels have the highest thermal insulation value, the highest specific surface area, the lowest density, the lowest speed of sound, the lowest refractive index, and the lowest dielectric constant of all solid materials. These properties give aerogels multiple applications in a wide range of consumer, commercial, and military markets. Aspen manufactures a variety of forms of aerogel including our revolutionary flexible blanket, powder, beads, and clear monolithic sheets.

Aspen Aerogels is a spin-off company of Aspen Systems, Inc. : a small business, established in 1984, which performs research, development and engineering for government and commercial clients with the goal of developing high performance products and technologies. Aspen Aerogels was formed in early 2001 to further develop and commercialize the aerogel technology begun by Aspen Systems.

To date, Aerogels have not been widely commercialized due to very high production costs and initial capital investment. In March 1999, Aspen invented a low cost, high speed manufacturing process for aerogels for which the company received the prestigious 1999 SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Technology of the Year Award in Manufacturing/Materials. The new process requires only a small fraction of the capital investment required for conventional aerogel production and provides dramatic reductions in manufacturing costs.

Using a small-scale production facility located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Aspen Aerogels is currently selling various aerogel products to customers in the aerospace, apparel, cryogenics, and technical insulation markets. The company is preparing for mass-production of aerogels and believes its "disruptive technology" will allow for entrance into multiple global markets.
