DESCRIPTION

NanoMaterials, formerly ApNano – Active Protection NANOmaterials, is a pioneer of inorganic, multi-layered fullerenes. Founded in 2002, NanoMaterials was the first to succeed in the commercial production of inorganic, multi-layered nanofullerenes and nanotubes. Based on Weizmann Institute of Science patented platform technology, the company’s WS₂-based nanomaterials opened up new possibilities for developing extreme performance lubricants, coatings and polymer composites. These materials feature outstanding extreme temperature (ET) and extreme pressure (EP) properties. The composition and morphology of these materials creates a unique mechanism of friction induced tribofilm release. The exfoliated nano-particles attach to working surfaces, fill in wear crevices and coat working surfaces with a continuous super-lubrication layer. This “surface reconditioning” effect improves energy efficiency, extends effective operation, and extends machinery and lubricant life.

TECHNOLOGY

The company was the first to succeed in commercially producing multi-layered, spherical and tubular nano-structures from inorganic materials. The first inorganic compound synthesized by NanoMaterials into multi-layered, spherical and tubular shapes has been tungsten disulfide (WS₂). These particles have notably high pressure, impact and heat resistances. They have low chemical reactivity, low toxicity and high metal bonding capacity.
