Contract R&D

Contract R&D

Creativity is in our DNA, and we are willing to share our ideas and work with you. When the material you need does not exist yet, we co-develop it.

A materials partner, not just a supplier

Some problems do not have an off-the-shelf answer. Our contract R&D engagements are collaborative — we explore new opportunities and innovations with your team and turn them into a manufacturable material. Our thermal-management material Thermorphous FX25 was co-developed with Sakata INX Corporation, an example of where this work leads.

Good fits for contract R&D

New material need

A performance requirement no existing material meets.

Differentiated product

A proprietary material advantage built into your product.

Co-development

A joint programme, as with our Sakata INX collaboration.

Have a material challenge with no off-the-shelf answer?
