Hyperion Catalysis
Hyperion Catalysis International, headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., has 20 years of experience in nanotube technology. The company – which was the first to synthesize nanotubes in 1983 – is the world’s leader in tonnage production of multi-walled carbon nanotube products, which are sold under the tradename FIBRIL™. The nanotubes make normally non-conductive materials such as thermoplastics electrostatically conductive.
Hyperion Catalysis has sales presence in the United States (Massachusetts, Michigan, and California) as well as in Japan (Tokyo). The company’s European sales and marketing office is slated to open in the first half of 2002.

HYPERION OFFERS FIVE NEW THERMOPLASTIC MASTERBATCHES WITH FIBRIL(TM) CONDUCTIVE CARBON NANOTUBES
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 11, 2002 – Hyperion Catalysis International, the world’s only tonnage producer of carbon nanotubes, announced today that it has added five resin families of commercial-quantity thermoplastic masterbatches containing FIBRIL™ multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the company’s product offering. This high aspect ratio, curvilinear form of graphitic carbon confers electrical conductivity at lower loadings than other conductive additives when compounded with otherwise-insulating materials such as thermoplastics. All masterbatches are supplied in pellet form, in either drum or gaylord quantities. Processors can vary the letdown ratio on the masterbatches to optimize the conductivity level of a molded plastic part to meet its end-use application requirements.

HYPERION CATALYSIS OPENS PLASTICS TECHNICAL CENTER AS NEW RESOURCE FOR DEVELOPING CONDUCTIVE APPLICATIONS
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – February 11, 2002 – Hyperion Catalysis International, the world’s only tonnage producer of carbon nanotubes, announced today that it has opened a new plastics technical center at its Cambridge headquarters. Hyperion produces multi-walled nanotubes sold under the tradename FIBRIL™. These submicroscopic hollow tubes confer electrical conductivity at lower loadings than other conductive additives when compounded with otherwise-insulating materials such as thermoplastics. The plastics technical center is one facet of an expansion at Hyperion’s Cambridge site.
