Materials and Chemical Industries and Green Manufacturing

At PEN, we’re harnessing nanotechnology, the science of the infinitely small, in products that have big impact on health, safety and sustainability. They perform better, faster, smarter, stronger, cleaner – to make every day better for people and the planet.

From healthcare to homecare, homeland defense to food security, transportation to recreation, products from our family of companies are transforming the way we live, work and play.

A new generation of high capacity, high discharge rate batteries requires a new generation of separator membrane. Elegus has designed a solution, a separator capable of withstanding demanding operation conditions and high currents. Elegus Technologies is commercializing an ultra-strong membrane made from high-performance nanoscale fibers developed at the University of Michigan. The patent-pending process is based on transformation of para-aramid threads into membranes with pores in the 5-50 nm range.

Perpetuus is an advanced material manufacturer primarily focused on surface engineered carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. Perpetuus is the No 1 global producer and supplier of nano surface modified graphenes and carbon nanotubes on an industrial scale.

Perpetuus is developing graphene application technology within its nano safe laboratories supported by a team of polymer, electro chemists and specialised plasma engineers.

Nanolandmaterials Inc. (NMI) focus on synthesis and applications of environment friendly nanomaterials. Green nanomaterial chemistry and green nanomaterial processing are our top preference. The unique proprietary nanomaterials at NMI have a wide variety of applications in energy, health care, and environment fields to support sustainable economy and human wellbeing.

Focus Graphite Inc. is a mid-tier junior mining development company with our attention geared toward high purity graphite. Our goal is to assume a leadership role in the clean energy technology economy through an innovative mine-to-market strategy centered on our high-grade, Lac Knife flake graphite deposit located in the Côte Nord region of Quebec.

Grafen Chemical Industries (Grafen Co.) is a leader in the fabrication and application of carbon nanomaterials, novel family of broad range of materials with miraculous electrical, mechanical, chemical and thermal properties. Products offered by Grafen Co. include advanced carbon nanomaterials, particularly graphene and carbon nanotubes, as well as cutting-edge technologies based on carbon based nanodevices.

Qlight Nanotech develops semiconductor nanocrystals that display unique optical and electrical properties. Qlight’s nanocrystals enable light conversion from UV and blue wavelengths to any other wavelength in the visible range. The color, or the wavelength, of the light is determined by the nanoparticle's size. When excited by light, nanocrystals generate illumination of an unmatched color and wavelength accuracy while displaying high quantum efficiency.
