| General Information
Neomat Co. was established in 1992 on the basis of the Special technological Bureau of Inorganic Materials of the Academy of Sciences of Latvia , which had operated since 1976 . Neomat's team of Scientists and Engineers have developed several novel materials and processes by exploring creative solutions to solve tough engineering problems. Neomat was a pioneer in the field of nanomaterials in the Soviet Union . Until 1992 it was a provider of high-tech
raw
materials for Soviet military and space industry. For example, nanopowders of Neomat were used for the Soviet space-shuttle BURAN, which was successfully launched in 1988.
Today Neomat Co. is a private joint stock company owned by its staff. Neomat has customers and partners in 7 countries to whom it provides a wide range of nanodispersed powders for a number of
different
industrial and scientific applications.
Neomat´s personnel have published over 50 papers in scientific journals and have taken part in a number of international conferences on materials and processes.
Innovators in advanced materials technology, Neomat's engineering staff is applying the latest technological
techniques
and knowledge to add real value to
ceramic and
metal and alloy powders produced by the company.
Annual installed capacity of the equipment of Neomat reaches up to 2000 kg of highest quality nanopowders. This can be easily increased in case of higher demand
President and CEO of Neomat Co. is Mr. Leonids Stafeckis
Technology
Neomat Co. has extensive experience in the field of nanoparticles production and is constantly developing new techniques for the production of ceramic and metal nanopowders.
Neomat´s plasma chemical synthesis technology is based on the know-how that has been developed during the years, enabling the company to deal with the delicate adjustment of powders to a wide range of particle sizes and applications.
The low temperature plasma is a heat source of enormous power and versatility, combining the clean and almost mass-less heat with the stability and control . The result is heat without combustion and chemical reactions without contamination up to incredible temperatures. The main advantages of our technology are the following:
Our technology produces particles with average particle size of 25-80 nm in a single stage process . |
The technology is flexible. The same process and equipment are needed for the production of a very wide range of ceramic and metal powders, including composition, morphology and average particle size. |
The powders produced by our technology have greater purity and surface activity compared to other methods |
The powder composites are much more homogenous |
