(Alliance News) - Cap-XX Ltd on Thursday highlighted the strength of protection around its supercapacitator technology, after successfully filing two international patent applications.
According to the Sydney-based supercapacitor and energy management system manufacturer, one of the new patents relates to its new cylindrical surface mount technology, while the other relates to a polymer system that can bind together the active materials used in supercapacitators.
The first patent will provide market protection for cylindrical surface mount technology, which aims to change the way that supercapacitors are mounted to printed circuit boards.
The second, meanwhile, is for binder technology which when used exclusively with aqueous electrode slurries, improves the environmental attributes of the organic solvents typically used in electrode manufacture. Apart from standard electric double-layer supercapacitor electrodes, the binder system could also be applied to manufacture battery electrodes.
"I'm thrilled that we've been able to reinforce our intellectual property portfolio and secure global protection for these new technologies. We plan to deliver our new SMT products in tape and reel packaging to allow and support our customers in producing them in high volumes. Meanwhile, we've already passed all the required feasibility testing on a production coating line for our new polymer system," said Chief Executive Officer Lars Stegmann.
Cap-XX shares were trading 6.1% lower at 1.60 pence each in London on Thursday afternoon.
