Posted: May 7th, 2012 Applied Nanotech Unveils Ultra-Strong Structural Adhesive CNTstix ( Nanowerk News ) Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. has announced that it hasunveiled the new product CNTstix™, an ultra-strongcarbon-nanotube reinforced adhesive for structural applications. With the global market for adhesives projected to reach $38 billionby the year 2017, Applied Nanotech's two-part carbon nanotubereinforced epoxy adhesive performs much better than similarproducts on the market. Tested by a leading independent laboratoryin North America, the adhesion tear strength of CNTstix™ ismore 60% higher than that of a popular adhesive manufactured by aleading industry competitor. "Our CNTstix™ adhesive outperforms conventional adhesivesbecause of our patented carbon nanotube technology, which is alsobeing used by Yonex Corporation for sporting goods," said Dr.Dongsheng Mao, Vice President of Engineering and Director of theNanocomposite Division at APNT subsidiary, Applied Nanotech, Inc."Carbon nanotubes possess unique mechanical, electrical, andthermal properties. They are the strongest material known in theworld to date." Using its proprietary functionalization and dispersiontechnologies, Applied Nanotech is able to significantly improve theproperties of adhesives using carbon nanotubes, in particular forbonding materials to each other. The improvements realized withCNTstix™ have innumerable industrial and commercialapplications such as packaging, sporting goods, automotive,electronics, footwear, construction repair and remodeling,textiles, consumer goods, and shipbuilding, etc. "The potential market for CNTstix™ is very large," said Dr.Zvi Yaniv, president and CEO of Applied Nanotech, Inc. "After wesent samples to numerous potential customers from differentindustries, such as composite assemblies for automotiveapplications and carbon fiber tubing assembly for racing bicycles,responses have been very positive due to the performance andcharacteristics of this new adhesive for their applications." Building on its success in developing nanocomposites for YonexCorporation (high performance golf club shafts and badmintonracquets), Applied Nanotech has started to gain traction for itsnanocomposite materials for additional commercial applications withvery large market potential. "In late 2011, we embarked on an aggressive direct sales program toincrease our high-margin revenues. We are pleased to haveCNTstix™ join our award-winning thermal management materialCarbAl™ as the latest product to be sold direct to users,"said Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. CEO Doug Baker "In addition,our growth plan will also result in other products coming on themarket in 2012." Applied Nanotech is currently capable of providing CNTstix™in a variety of quantities, starting at one ounce. Its specialburst pouch packaging ensures a 100 percent accurate proper mixingof the CNT reinforced epoxy and compatible hardener. About Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc.
