Thanks Cornishknocker. I must get involved here very soon

Valuation-it-is - 11.13
Not a thing and I then was pointed to Cornishknocker to check out as he knew a lot about them ( hence the handle name).
He had good insight, but I was still too cautious and I didnt take at least a small investment, which is what I should have done. Have waited the last few days for a dip, but there hasn't been one of course!

8.25p when I was first tipped this one, not long ago and didn't do it as someone wrote afterwards that the bod were crooks. or similar. Should clearly have ignored the comment!

I don't think you've seen too much trading activity on shares.......unless you have gone short here. Good luck with that!

This video is well worth a watch! The company appears VERY overlooked it would seem....will get a lot busier on here soon.
Directa Plus PLC's (LON:DCTA) Giulio Cesareo speaks to Proactive London about their new printing technique for the textile market and the opportunities it represents.
This is a KEY point here over competition
Directa added that following the grant of the patent, its intellectual portfolio will comprise 16 patent families with 48 patents granted and 20 patents pending.

"This grant means that our unique production process is now patented and that we have created a significant barrier to entry for competitors seeking to replicate our chemical-free technology. We will continue to build our IP portfolio, covering both production technology and applications in order to continue to build value for shareholders," Directa Plus founder and chief executive Giulio Cesareo said in a statement.

Cesareo says 'this is a very positive development for Directa's textile printing technology, the range of textile products we can produce is hugely increased.

The company is one of the largest producers and suppliers of graphene nanoplatelets-based products for use in consumer and industrial markets

Increase, one trade, I have no idea what you are talking about!

Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, announces that the Company has been granted an EU-wide patent covering the production process for its G+® graphene nanoplatelets. The priority date for the patent is 20 June 2014.



The patent, titled 'Process for Preparing Graphene Nanoplatelets' covers the use of Directa Plus's unique water-based exfoliation technology for converting super-expanded graphite to pristine graphene nanoplatelets using no chemicals and with a very high conversion yield. The process does not use any type of surfactant, organic solvent or acid and the Company's know-how allows the fine tuning of the exfoliation treatment to tailor the morphology of the graphene nanoplatelets according to customers' final application requirements. This results in some significant advantages: G+® products are safe for human health due to the absence of chemistry, G+® graphene nanoplatelets can be tailor-made to partner requirements in different verticals and the high conversion yield delivers competitive prices.



Following the grant of the patent, Directa Plus's IP portfolio will comprise 16 patent families with 48 patents granted and 20 patents pending.

There haven't been a lot of sellers. Many Aim shares were very red today. Haydale Graphene also down 6%. Wait until the next news hits shortly, you'll see the price move up pretty fast then....

That's amazingly thorough and in depth, you must be very specialized in this area. Great info
I have been meaning to get in here since 30p but keep putting it off waiting for a dip that hasn't really happenned. And now moving up fast after this latest news!

Yes, this was a more worthwhile post on this BB itsyou :)

Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, is pleased to announce positive advances in its research into printing graphene-based inks onto textiles.



Since two years Directa has been working with an International Textile Group to develop new G+ graphene printing technique for the textile market and in April 2021 for the first time a G+ graphene-based ink, which used a specific grade of graphene developed for the purpose, has been digitally jetted.



This is a preliminary result but it proves the feasibility of the technology and is a very important milestone for Directa's product development strategy in the textile vertical.



Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive of Directa Plus, commented: "This is a very positive development for Directa's textile printing technology. With the ability to jet digitally graphene inks the range of textile products we can produce is hugely increased."



"In addition to benefitting our product development this increase in versatility will allow us to ensure the maximum environmental sustainability of our textile designs."



-ends-

Can't believe this one going so low again. Thought would be 2.5p by now with ease - very strange

Any chancre you guys could talk about gold companies on a gold bb and not here? ECR would be the best bb I’d suggest.

There's quite a few shares in public hands, roughly 52%.
Any idea why the stock is so illiquid?

What it does
Textiles

Directa Plus PLC (LON:DCTA) has signed deals with consumer brands Oakley and Bioracer, which used the company’s Graphene Plus (G+) to launch a cycling jersey in early July.

Alfredo Grassi, another customer, is one of Italy’s largest workwear suppliers while G+ will also be used to treat a range of jeans made by Arvind, one of India’s top textile groups.

Directa Plus is also part of a €1mln EU-sponsored initiative to develop a digital printing method for textiles using graphene.

Transport, oil and gas

Directa is working with Marangoni – one of Italy’s leading re-tread companies – to produce better performing tyres for commercial buses and lorries.

Cycle tyre maker Vittoria was the first manufacturer to use Directa’s products, firstly in a carbon fibre wheel, and then in “intelligent” bicycle tyres.

Grafysorber

In the oil and gas sector, the firm has joined forces with Italian firm Sartec to develop a commercial-scale industrial system using its graphene-based Grafysorber product for treating oil-contaminated produced water.

Directa owns a majority stake in oil services partner, Romanian firm Setcar.
How it is doing
The end of May 2021 will see Giorgio Bonfanti take up the position of chief financial officer. Bonfanti has been employed by the global accountancy network PwC since 2014, working out of their Milan office. His most recent role was as a senior manager in their Deals practice, which is focussed on assistance with stock exchange listings, due diligence, company valuations, business plans, financial restructuring and accounting audits.

The company had a good 2020, beating revenue guidance. Turnover for 2020 is expected to clock in at around €6.7mln; the company had previously issued guidance for 2020 of €6.5mln for revenues.

The momentum continued into 2021, with revenues in the first quarter expected to be some 20% higher year-on-year at roughly €1.8mln.

The group’s order book stands at around €4.3mln and is expected to be delivered over the remainder of this year, while the order pipeline was described as “strong”.

Progress at the group's environmental subsidiary, Setcar, continues to be very positive, the group said.

Deals and partnerships continue to flow through at a healthy pace.
The latest was a technical and commercial agreement with NexTech Batteries, a company in the field of lithium-sulphur batteries based in Nevada.Under the agreement, Directa will supply NexTech with its pristine graphene nanoplatelets, a key raw material for manufacturing the cathode

Sundayroast -- that made me smile. That is exactly the kind of thing I would and have done a few times. Had I have seen ARB in December, I would have gone in for sure as holding BTC. But I heard of them in late January and the huge increase put me off.
The rest is history...it's a great company

The IP that the company has and in progress is quite amazing - this taken from the January update
Intellectual Property

Directa Plus has now received Notices of Allowance in respect of four patents, ahead of the formal grant, which is expected in the coming months, specifically:

· a US patent for the Company's Graysorber® environmental remediation technology.

· an EU patent for the Company's sustainable, chemical-free G+ production process.

· a US patent for the use of G+® graphene supermodifier to improve the performance of elastomers, specifically tyres; and

· an EU patent covering the same use of G+® supermodifier in tyres.



The Company's patent portfolio will be then composed of 42 patents and 25 pending patents, grouped together in some 16 patent families - four covering the Company's unique production process and 12 covering products and applications for G+® graphene.



Commenting. for Directa Plus, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO, said:



"To have finished 2020 with better revenues than expected even at the start of December is enormously satisfying. We saw a year of hard work, in difficult circumstances, by all of our employees culminate in this success.



Our acquisition of Setcar, in partnership with GSP group, continues to prove its value and the business has moved from strength to strength. Through Setcar, we can deploy genuinely world-leading technology and are increasingly able to demonstrate outstanding results with a range of clients in a variety of geographies and projects.



Developing our intellectual property portfolio is at the heart of the Company's mission. We believe we have assembled an extensive and highly valuable IP portfolio protecting our chemical-free production process and G+ applications in verticals that have outstanding potential growth.

Excellent spot aandi, the company should be listed there.
Good that you have written larryh.
