About this update from Haydale Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nFor immediate release\n\n\n24 July 2023\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nHaydale Graphene Industries plc\n \n('Haydale' or the 'Group')\n \nContract Awarded to Develop Graphene Ink-Based Low-Power Radiator Heaters\n \nHaydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global technology solutions company, is pleased to announce its next collaboration with Cadent Ltd ('Cadent') to develop graphene ink-based low-power radiator heaters. The £350,000 three-stage project will run for 12-months and is seeking to develop a tested and validated market-ready product as a cost-effective alternative for Cadent's customers when their gas supply is interrupted.\n \nFollowing continued success on the low-power, battery operated water heating development announced in February 2022 and July 2023, the aim for the latest project is to incorporate the same graphene-ink based technology into different designs to deliver bespoke solutions for a wide range of customer requirements.\n \nCurrently, the provision of fan heaters or oil filled radiators to Priority Services Register (PSR) customers, or those in a vulnerable situation without a gas supply, can be expensive and challenging, particularly for those in ill health, elderly or disabled customers. Therefore, Cadent is looking for a next generation solution to provide an alternative heat source that is easy to manage and ensures the customer experiences no, or minimal, disruption in their day to day lives. This development will create a low power alternative radiator heating solution, it will resemble the look of a standard radiator, so it aesthetically fits in to the home environment.\n \nDevelopment of graphene-based, high conductivity inks and coatings that can be applied to surfaces have the potential to provide even heating across large areas with a very thin profile. This technology is made possible by Haydale's patented HDPlasÒ process, which promotes efficient dispersion of nanomaterials and allows the surface chemistry to be altered to improve the physical and electrical properties.\nThis project will be completed over three stages, Haydale will provide its time and expertise and work with Cadent to develop the concept, product specification and design that will integrate with Haydale's printed graphene heater panels to create a tested and validated solution.\nKeith Broadb...
