OCSiAl looking for partnerships

OCSiAl (Luxembourg), developer of the revolutionary nanomaterial TUBALL, is now focused on creating a worldwide partnership network. With growing demand for new materials and solutions on the one side, and with manufacturers wanting to provide solutions without major changes in their business models and production processes on the other, OCSiAl presented TUBALL to the market six months ago and is now launching a partnership program.

TUBALL, first introduced in London, has gained attention in several industries since then, due to its high “as produced” purity (75%+ of single-wall carbon nanotubes [SWCNTs]), but also because of its market price, which is 50 times lower than that of other products with similar properties. OCSiAl's technology allows cost-efficient SWСNT synthesis in sufficient volumes and doesn't require any further enrichment procedures.

To demonstrate TUBALL’s capabilities and to increase the number of applications, OCSiAl has developed and licensed production technology for several TUBALL-based additive products: one for cathodes of Li-ion batteries (TUBALL BATT), another for rubbers and tires (TUBALL RUBBER), a third for thermoplastics (TUBALL PLAST), a fourth for thermoset composites (TUBALL COMP) and a fifth for transparent conductive films (TUBALL INK). Nanomodifiers for aluminium, concrete, paints and some other materials are under development.

The partnership program is compatible with various business models and can suit different types of companies, including:
• product manufacturers, who can produce TUBALL-enhanced versions of their current products;
• solution providers, who can start their own production of TUBALL-based industrial modifiers (masterbatches and suspensions) using OCSiAl's licensed technology for their own business, or to satisfy the demands of their clients; and
• large-scale distributors, who can introduce TUBALL and TUBALL-based modifiers to their local markets.

“We have great expectations for further prosperity of our business in cooperation with OCSiAl," says managing director Wu Lu-Hao. “We hope not only to attract new clients via highly-sought TUBALL product, but to advance existing partnerships through offering new opportunities for development of our client’s products.”

TUBALL's introduction to the nanomaterials market served as a pivot point for many industries, which previously experienced difficulties with the industrial usage of nanomodifiers, due to their high cost and absence of an efficient synthesis technology, and the lack of any alternative solutions.

Now further development of a worldwide partnership network will remove the last geographical, technological and economical barriers, empowering a new wave of revolution in materials manufacture.

“Analytical studies suggest that the nanomaterials market will experience rapid growth in the next five to ten years," says Yuri Koropachinskiy, OCSiAl’s president and co-founder. "If you want to be there in 2025, now is the time to start.”


OCSiAl is an international technology company with operations worldwide. Named after the four major elements Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Silicon, (Si), and Aluminum (Al), OCSiAl offices are located in the U.S., Europe (UK, Luxembourg, Germany, Russia), and Asia (South Korea). In 2014 OCSiAl developed a breakthrough technology for the industrial production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and entered the nanomaterials market with universal additive TUBALL.

TUBALL is a unique material that contains 75% and more of single wall carbon nanotubes and can be used as a universal additive for a wide range of materials and carriers. TUBALL delivers improvements in material properties when added in quantities starting from as small as 0.001%-0.1%  by weight.
