[{"type":"text","content":"Florida-based facility employs proprietary process to build custom-designed, custom-built bismuth telluride crystals that set new industry standards for flexibility, conductivity and durability. Vancouver, BC, Canada – TheNewswire - February 12, 2026 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC: FSTTF) announces that its majority-owned subsidiary PyroDelta Energy Corp. will produce and sell high-end bismuth telluride crystals for thermoelectric manufacturing. The Florida-based facility employs PyroDelta’s Capillary Casting process (patents pending) to build crystals that are custom-designed, free of defects, highly conductive and far more robust than anything available on the market today. “We are the only company offering bismuth telluride crystals with this level of quality and flexibility to the growing thermoelectric industry,” said PyroDelta Head Engineer Michael Abdelmaseh. “It is a game-changer. Our proprietary process resolves long-standing issues and constraints, including supply vulnerabilities from China, for manufacturers of thermoelectric devices in North America and beyond. I am confident our crystals will set a new standard for the industry.” PyroDelta sources its raw materials, including high-purity refined tellurium and bismuth, from reliable North American sources. This advantage resolves supply concerns related to import restrictions and shortages. A video interview with Abdelmaseh, available , provides more details and context on the significance of PyroDelta’s process and product. “This is an initiative we have been working on quietly, behind the scenes, for some time,” said First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. “I encourage our shareholders and anyone in the thermoelectric industry to view the to understand the implications of what PyroDelta has accomplished and why we’re so excited about it.” Telluride bismuth crystals, the key component for most thermoelectric devices, come primarily from China. They are built using the Bridgman Process, which leaves inherent defects in crystal alignment, resulting in long-standing inefficiencies for thermoelectric devices. Additionally, manufacturers must then endure a complicated, multi-step process to incorporate the crystals into their devices. Traditional Inefficiencies Bypassed “This is a compromise and inefficiency we have always been told to accept in the ...
