MITO Material Solutions
MITO Material Solutions develops hybrid graphene additives for polymer composites.
|
|
MITO Material Solutions has developed a suite of graphene based modifiers that can be infused directly into epoxy systems then applied to composite components used to manufacture planes, cars, and wind turbines. Their products increase the flexural, tensile, and impact properties, giving manufacturers the ability to make lighter or tougher parts; thereby reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure.
Their additive is non-toxic, safe to handle, alters no other mechanical properties in the formulation, and does not change the current manufacturing process.
|
What's Innovative About Their Solution?
MITO's patented product blends into many different kinds of chemically formulated epoxy or resin at a 0.1% mixture by weight. Unlike competitors, their product is non-toxic, safe to handle, and reactively disperses against itself to prevent agglomeration and perform consistently under many different circumstances.
