We Are Not An Electrospinning Company
When people hear of nanofibers, the usual technology that will come to mind is electrospinning. We are not an electrospinning company, far from it in fact.
​
The Process
​
Electrospinning uses toxic, expensive, and complicated solvents to produce its nanofibers which is extremely harmful to the environment. Verdex does not use any solvents in its process. The Verdex proprietary process relies on completely green processes to produce its nanofibers.
​
The Product
​
Electrospinning produces a flat 2D membrane media, that resembles a film. It does not have any depth to it, so its uses and applications are limited. Verdex nanofibers are very different in that they are 3D in nature, and have a lot of depth to them, opening up a host of other high value applications where electrospinning could not and never will be able to compete i.e. liquid filtration, high efficiency air filtration, hygiene core material, technical textiles, battery separator media. Verdex can also make a membrane/film product very easily by varying the process conditions.
​
The Throughput / The Speed
​
Electrospinning is incredibly slow at around 0.04kg/hr/m, and is not a true viable commercial process based on needing large quantities of media. The Verdex nanofiber process on the other hand is 1000 times faster than electrospinning at 50kg/hr/m throughput, making it the fastest nanofiber technology in the world. So if you need new disruptive products made at lightening speed, using the latest disruptive nanofiber technology, then you need look no further.
​
The Results
​
There really is no comparison in terms of comparing electrospinning to Verdex. Verdex is now the world's leading nanofiber platform technology that is making peoples lives safer, healthier and more productive.
Collaboration and Experimentation
We believe in the potential of each individual and the diverse perspectives and collaboration found in small teams. There is a space and place for every innovator at Verdex.
​
As an extension of our culture, we take pride in working with our customers to meet their most technically challenging problems.
We innovate alongside our customers, wherever they are — listening deeply and asking questions to ensure we understand, meet or exceed their expectations.
​
This collaborative approach, combined with our natural curiosity, spirit of discovery and courage to take risks, drive us to develop new technology and create new products.
​
As long as there are opportunities to solve complex problems using our advanced materials, there will always be new developments and innovative products from Verdex.
