A FIRST GLANCE AT THE EXHIBITED MATERIALS
GRAPH’UP
CARBON WATERS
Carbon Waters is a young specialty chemical company that designs, develops and manufactures pre-formulated graphenes as additives. They are fully compatible with many thermoplastics and thermosets and can improve many properties of polymers and composites at very low concentrations (water and gas barrier, mechanical strengthening, thermal and electrical conductivity).
GREENFIB
Greenfib is a patented material, 100% biosourced, recyclable and manufactured in France. It is made from natural raw materials that do not compete with food: castor seeds (grown in India without GMOs in family farms of 1.5HA on non-deforested land), mineral powders and non-food plant flours (PEFC-certified forests in Brittany and reeds from the Brenne in Indre). These different components are adjusted according to the nature of the object designed and the properties that we wish to give it.
KAIRLIN
KAÏROS
The Kairlin® is a 100% natural and elegant biomaterial, recyclable and compostable. At each stage of its life cycle, from the flax and hemp which compose it to its end of life, the Kairlin® has been designed to have a minimum environmental impact. Its patent is also the result of strict specifications: large panels that are both rigid and thermoformable, with a mirror surface finish allowing high quality direct printing..
QILIN
AUTHENTIC MATERIAL
QILIN is a material composed of 50% recycled natural material and 50% biosourced polymer. It offers customers the possibility of reusing unused natural materials (animal, vegetable or mineral) to reintroduce them into their manufacturing process.
This “natural self-sourcing” is mainly aimed at the luxury industry.
SCALITE
SCALE
SCALE designs and produces “ocean friendly”, biodegradable and recyclable materials from renewable marine co-products. SCALITE®, is made of 100% fish scales, a renewable co-product not valorized. The natural biopolymer of the scales is used as a binder.
It is supplied in panel form and is proposed to interior architects and designers for their interior design projects in stores, hotels, offices, etc.
TESCAN ANALYTICS
TESCAN ANALYTICS allows you to better understand the physical and chemical phenomena occurring at the surfaces and interfaces of your materials. For R&D, quality control and validation of your production, we bring the essential support of an experienced team. TESCAN ANALYTICS brings together a unique level of human skills, engineers and doctors recognized internationally.
