Fulcrum SP Materials

The innovation: 

Fulcrum SP has found a way of combining one of the strongest and lightest structures known to man with structural fabrics and adhesives.

Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) are as hard as diamond, 100 times stronger than stainless steel and 6 times lighter. Using its proprietary genetically engineered protein technology, Fulcrum has achieved what no other company has been able to do – CNT despersion in adhesives and bonding CNTs high-performance fibers such as carbon and glass fibers as well as Kevlar.

This technology is a doorway to many more industry-challenging material combinations. Fulcrum is the only company in the world that can coat and bind nano-particles to fabrics (fibers).

The need: 

Stronger, lighter and cost effective Producing superior composites
