Our technology, supported by our R&D and manufacturing process, allows us to develop and produce polyphosphazene-based materials with applications in major markets. Below you can find an outline that explains in a simple manner our technology and how it integrates with the different areas of our business:
1.Trimer is used as a raw material to produce DCP or as the basis to produce other products such as flame retardants.
2.Alcohols, catalysts and other substances are added to the DCP in order to produce PNF™.
3.DCP is the base substance for production of PNF™ and other polyphosphazene-based materials.
4.PNF™, MST’s current core product, is produced to be compounded and used by customers in dental, aerospace, oil & gas, biomed, and energy applications.
5.MST’s customers add their own ‘ingredients’ to the PNF™ to produce their final products.
6.Different compounds are transformed into finished products (soft denture liner, o-rings, seals, coatings, gaskets, etc.).
7.Other polyphosphazene-based materials, including future generations of PNF™ can be produced from DCP. These can be custom-made for specific applications.
8.MST’s R&D Center works in parallel with production to develop new polyphosphazene-based materials for new applications.
9.New applications based on polyphosphazene technology include materials for biomedical applications such as bone & tissue regeneration, implants, meshes, stents, prosthetics; and in the energy field for applications such as non-flammable lithium batteries; for advanced flame retardant products; among others.
10.By-products from trimer can be processed and utilized for other applications such as flame retardant products.
