Not sure what goes on with this share cadellin. Only good reports yet the sp is very weak ....constantly. Only a few paltry sells sends this down big style , 7% down is a shocker last week on a sell of £800.
I did buy more as I said on weakness , but alas at 78p!!
I will sit tight as I suspect this will take off big style one day , it all looks good on RNS's , lets hope it comes true and they sell some of the promises.
buy board going back a few days yet we are once again languishing -3p today on only buys today . This share should be at least a multiple of what it stands today.
Thought I'd posted this, but seems to have disappeared

Cenkos note : "We understand that Directa Plus’s pristine defect free nano platelets significantly outperformed other materials tested by NexTech, a testament to its unique production process where platelets are exfoliated from graphite without creating waste or using any chemistry"
NexTech Website : "Incumbent Li-ion technology is reaching physical limits of specific energy after years of development, and the future electrification of transportation will rely on significant increases in specific energy and safety with dramatic reductions in cost. NexTech’s Li-S technology has the potential to more than double the Wh/kg of incumbent Li-ion technology, while providing unparalleled safety and cost advantages. Our Li-S chemistry does not exhibit thermal runaway, unlike Li-ion, even under catastrophic abuse tests such as short-circuit, puncture, and bullet impacts. Our technology also does not rely on expensive strategic metals, such as cobalt, but rather uses inexpensive and abundant sulfur as the active material.

No sales , no news , drip drip. So much for the masks.
Well done silver , at least you're happy.....
Bailed out a couple of days ago, ploughed it into Vela,glad i did.
Will keep watching and might be back one day

No I agree,it's certainly a news orientated share.
I'm sorry but somethings not right here. 1 trade of £860 for a 7.14% drop? Doesn't add up to me.
performance, which runs on for the next 2 FY's. Fingers crossed for some decent margins. Good news, worthy of an RNS. Perhaps we'll see a small tick-up today on the back of it....... I hope.
Hi Silver,
No idea what you mean. Covid aerosoling = filtration = dcta tech.
Re adv, wouldn’t touch it. I stay away from UKCS as it’s to politically unstable. Brexit, indi vote, fiscal changes etc. Places like Ghana and Tanzania are better for business. Think about it.

More terrible news is there no end !!
Anyone had a look at ADV ?
CDC change guidance on covid - say it can now travel more than 6 feet via aerosoling.

So need to take it out of the atmosphere or all wear mask and goggles!

"After the launch of this special mask, Directa Plus is also working on a collection of graphene clothing and accessories, taking advantage of the antiviral properties of the material."

Yes frustration is the key here , like I said before if it stayed steady fine , but piddly little sells just keep eating away at it..
It has been said before and noted the shares with a quiet board seem to take off before the noisier ones , lets hope.
Promise to stop moaning now for at least 6 months , and thanks once again for the links.
Certainly holding and may add if it keeps get trimmed.
Spot on Trek and to have our largest shareholder as one of the authors of this paper...well...
The masks are a prelude to bigger things. The access DCTA has to labs is second to none. Do not underestimate how difficult it is to get (level 3) lab time to test with live SARS-COV-2 virus. Remember sars is the virus covid 19 is the disease, sars has many strains.
The bigger picture here is the aerosolisation of the virus and the ability of DCTA tech to take virus out of the atmosphere with its filtration system.
The aerosoling has been understated since January. Govts are only just coming around to it. It’s why we have to wear masks. It’s probably the most understated transmission factor.
Dcta are looking to put their tech into aircon units, think aeroplanes, supermarkets, cruise ships, gyms. Think duty of care. It could eventually become law to have this tech. We are proving and patenting it.
Testing will obviously help but even gold plated PCR swab testing whilst 100% accurate on test is 30% off because users don’t take the correct swabs
References.
Aerosoling..
‘The case studies that have come out in different countries have, with prima facie evidence, manifested that the airborne transmission plays a profound role in contracting susceptible hosts. The infection propensities in confined spaces (airplane, passenger car, and healthcare center) by the transmission of droplets and aerosols under varying ventilation conditions were discussed.’
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7293495/
PCR swab...
“The test is a swab of your nose and throat undertaken at one of the Trust testing sites. The test is not 100% accurate; at present it is thought to detect approximately 70% of coronavirusi infections..”
https://www.ouh.nhs.uk/working-for-us/staff/documents/staff-testing-privacy-statement.pd
From university of Oxford March 2020. Not updated since then...
‘The only current COVID-19 specific data comparing OP with NP comes from two low quality, non-peer-reviewed studies and should be viewed with caution. It is not possible to accurately assess sensitivity from the existing data and there are no data to assess the diagnostic impact of combining both tests.’
https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/comparative-accuracy-of-oropharyngeal-and-nasopharyngeal-swabs-for-diagnosis-of-covid-19/
So the point is whilst testing will help, masks will help, social distancing can’t go on forever, lockdowns aren’t economically feasible so it leads to technology as being the solution.
I have been invested here for probably 3 years now. It’s just a factor of investing that you can be ahead of the market and the sp will do nothing then in one or two sessions it rockets and if you are out you miss the biggest gains. I sat in DDDD, TXP, ORPH as just a few examples for what seemed like ages, now they have had the news and the sp has gone up significantly I seldom post there. There’s little point!
I am convinced that with all the shots on goal Dcta has our time will come and we can watch from a distance!

" The findings presented here support the further development of integration of graphene,
specifically hydrophobic G, into face mask materials. Face mask use, now encouraged throughout
the world where COVID-19 is present, has the potential to reduce viral transmissibility, preserve
healthcare capacity, and prevent a second wave of infections (37). "
Happy to hold, of course ??

University of Rome: graphene fabrics block Covid-19
Coronavirus emergency.
Graphene fabrics have antiviral properties, and specifically they are able to block SARS-Cov-2, the virus responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic. This is confirmed by a research conducted by a team of the Department of Neuroscience of the Catholic University of Rome, in collaboration with the Gemelli Polyclinic.
graphene, Covid-19
Among the characteristics of graphene , its possible anti-viral power has attracted particular interest in the last period: a research conducted by a team of the Department of Neuroscience of the Catholic University of Rome led by Prof. Massimiliano Papi, in collaboration with the Policlinico Gemelli of Rome , has just confirmed that graphene G +, produced by the Italian company Directa Plus , not only has antiviral properties, but also manages to stop the feared SARS-CoV-2 , the coronavirus responsible for the current pandemic.
Tests conducted by Prof. Papi's team, the details of which have just been published in a paper available on MedRxiv, show that graphene G + is able to improve the filtering properties of tissues and almost completely inhibit the incidence of SARS-CoV-2. , thus helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in an extremely effective way. “The results of the tests carried out confirm the ability of graphene to block SARS-CoV-2 . The virus is actually trapped in the graphene-functionalized tissue and inactivated, thus preventing contagion ” , explains Prof. Papi.
"This is excellent news for the protection of people's health, which confirms the insights of our working group - comments Giulio Cesareo , founder and CEO of Directa Plus - and gives even more value to the project we started in the months of lockdown and completed last June with the creation of a range of graphene protective masks . Today we have confirmation that our G + Co-Masks, made with graphene-functionalized fabrics and filters, are able not only to guarantee passive protection, minimizing the dispersion of droplets , but also active protection, blocking SARS-CoV-2when the virus comes into contact with the mask. I believe that this discovery could open up further significant possibilities of use for graphene fabrics and filters ” .
Covgaz,
In part I share your frustration. There seems nothing but good news but the sp never moves much. However, I think the company is progressing and building a good business. On thinking about it I’d rather a steady progress than the volatility of some of the competitors which seems prompted by rumours or even the over analysis of a CEO‘s comments. It’s not going to be quick but I think it will grow in time and I’m to hold and slowly add
It's also about making people aware(companies/individual investors), most aren't, hence the very quiet board here. Last weeks CG interview had him commenting about advertising in the UK will be obvious to see.
from N+1 Singer last week
"Underlying progress was constrained by COVID, but the Group rose to the challenge, exemplified by the launch of the G+ enhanced Co-Mask (orders of 400k Euros received to date). Good commercial progress has also been made with Gipave during the period, with three installations now in place. In our view, Directs is well positioned to deliver strong growth over the medium term as awareness of the performance and value of its technology continues to build"
covgaz,
Q8 had over 4,400 service stations. Once they are happy that it works, as has been the case everywhere so far, then the sales will come in from them. Like Kent CC, who said they'de potentially rollout countywide. Same as Oxfordshire, Italy, etc, one would assume. The hockey stick curve as Trek mentioned ;-)
Register, download and read the Cenkos report from https://www.cenkos.com/research-portal#/portal/cenkos-securities
They have visibility on actual sales of Gipave(although have discounted this until announced) and have a forward cashflow shown for 20,21 and 22. Plus obviously other sales(masks,etc)
"The most significant revenue line in this business is the potential for Gipave asphalt with
Iterchimica. Gipave has been proven to significantly increase durability over multiple real-world
trials leading to the first commercial order for the surface of the new San Giorgio bridge. With
double-digit kilos of graphene likely needed per kilometre of road, this business has the
potential for very significant volumes. We believe there is some visibility into projects through
Iterchimica which would see around a tenfold increase in use in FY21 and a further doubling in
FY22. Our expectations significantly discount that leaving most of Gipave opportunities, as well
as other composite applications, as upside in our forecasts"
