Fulcrum SP Materials Ltd, a world leader in innovative nanotechnology for enhanced composite materials, introduced its SP1/CNT reinforcement solution for fiberglass and epoxy composites.

Using nanotechnology, specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs), Fulcrum’s solution increases the toughness of such composites by at least 30%, without affecting its overall strength.

Customers in the aerospace market have successfully deployed Fulcrum’s SP1/CNT reinforcement solutions, which can be applied via standard textile dyeing machines for mass production.

"Our unique and cost-effective SP1/CNT technology enables our customers to introduce fiberglass and epoxy composites to the most demanding aerospace applications," said Nimrod Litvak, Fulcrum's Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with our customers’ feedback on the technology and have begun partnerships with a number of global companies. We are actively seeking new partners that can maximize their offerings by incorporating our technology into the design of their composite parts and products”.
