Bayer MaterialScience:
Nanotubes – robust and lightweight
Carbon nanotubes (Baytubes®) from Bayer MaterialScience are the basis for extremely robust and at the same time exceptionally lightweight materials. They are already firmly established in the sports sector. Nanotubes make boats faster, tennis rackets stronger and ice hockey sticks stiffer. With their exceptional properties, these minute cylinders can also contribute significantly to climate protection. Wind turbine rotor blades incorporating carbon nanotubes are far lighter and thus much more efficient.
Bayer MaterialScience can currently produce up to 60 tons of Baytubes® a year, making it one of the world’s top three nanotube manufacturers. A bulk facility with an annual capacity of 3,000 metric tons is planned in the medium term. For decades, Bayer has ranked among the world’s biggest producers of polymers and high-tech materials. Now its nanotubes mark another milestone in innovation.
