Great shout, I just bought myself a 3-pack as well as to, it'll be good to try one out and of course for the GF and I to rep Haydale in public.

My order number is #1821 - the fact it's incremented by 200 orders in less than 24 hours suggests there's a reasonable demand coming through.

Overall these masks won't be the making of Haydale but it's a good little sideshow and if they're successful it will serve as good publicity and help establish them as a name.

Who else was delighted to see this RNS come in this morning?

It struck me as being excellent news in isolation, but even better when looked at from the perspective of getting a foot in the door with the RAF/MoD. Given Britain approved it's largest rise in defense budget since the cold war last year (£16.9B all in) and this is their first contract with the RAF then it should promises to be an excellent land & expand. Well done Bill et al.

Welcome to the party. Between what's happening with Scottish Water, distribution of graphene infused face masks with iCraft and a general increasing demand for their products, I think 7p will be viewed as a bargain. The metric I like is the fact that their market cap now is about half what it was in 2016 (~£60m) when they were seen as a major hype/growth stock. In reality they were an R&D company then, now they've figured out how to commercialise the R&D they accomplished and are starting to generate revenue they are far more valuable.

Just been made aware of this, not an RNS but still exciting news of progress at Haydale:

https://www.constructionmanagermagazine.com/yorkshire-water-trials-eco-friendly-ceramic-surface-concrete-treatment/

"Traditionally, the company has demolished and then rebuilt concrete structures once they have reached the end of their lives. But the ceramic surface treatment, from materials manufacturer Haydale, reinvigorates existing assets. It uses alumina and zirconia silicates to renew and preserve concrete surfaces. The dense ceramic polymer wraps around and atomically bonds to all elements in the concrete, shielding the surface from the environment.

Yorkshire Water said the treatment is not affected by wet/dry or freeze/thaw cycles, and does not peel, flake, chalk, or delaminate. As a result, it offers asset preservation and reduces concrete corrosion, stabilising the surface chemistry of concrete and stopping carbonation and environmental exposure-driven erosion.

Early indications showed there was a carbon reduction of 43% in using the treatment, compared to some traditional concrete solutions, Yorkshire Water claimed."

I should imagine other utilities companies will be queuing up source and implement the ceramic surface treatment.

The thing that caught my eye was the fact it's 200kg of bespoke Functionalised Ink...I've got no real reference point but that seems like a pretty large amount, and with more to follow.

It's also good news that IRPC are seeing fit to follow through with this, and looking at further orders in 2021...should be a nice revenue stream.

Judges Scientific, the group focused on acquiring and developing companies in the scientific instrument sector , announces it has acquired the entire issued share capital of Korvus Technology Limited ("Korvus" or the "Acquisition"), a maker of vapour deposition systems. The Board expects the Acquisition to be immediately earnings enhancing.

The initial consideration for Korvus is £2.64 million in cash.

Korvus specialises in the design and manufacture of vapour deposition systems used to coat materials with thin films. Korvus' systems are used for academic and industrial research, the majority of sales being to universities. Korvus' systems are particularly versatile with their modular hexagonal design, enabling the users to easily create a combination of accessories to meet their research requirements.

Nice to see them turning a profit again;

As the world gets back to normal they should be in an excellent position to capitalise on the growing x-ray scanner market

Absolutely gobsmacked watching this.

At the same time given previous market caps I think this should be valued at more like 17 - 18p a share at least. That's without considering the value of all the recent and upcoming deals which could add considerably more to the value of the company.

In short, this has a lot of growth left to give.

I'm thinking some people know something the rest of us don't...

I think we're waiting to see if another round of equity fund raising is required or not, heavily dependent on this payment from IRPC

Very good news - the water network here is massively leaky and the utilities companies seem to struggle with it a lot, so if Haydale can help shore up their (water) loss that could be advantageous for all involved

Yeah their market cap at £2m - £3m is absurdly low! For a long time they were oscillating between £8m - £12m so I'd expect to see them in that region again at least. Exciting times.

RNS: Image Scan, (AIM: IGE) specialists in the field of X-ray imaging for the security and industrial inspection markets, announces signature of a partnership agreement with a major security technology company that will lead to the launch of a new range of security X-ray screening systems for the international market.

The first system to be produced under the new agreement will replace the former "Axis 2D" machine in the Company's product range. The new system will be a high performance, competitive conveyor X-ray machine with a 60x40cm tunnel size, suitable for security checkpoints in Government and commercial buildings around the world. The product range will eventually include a range of X-ray formats. Other technologies, such as archway metal detectors, will also be sourced through the new agreement.

The new system will be taken to market both directly and through Image Scan's expanding network of international partners.

Seems like fantastic news for the company. Anyone got any idea who the "major security technology company" is/could be?

I think it's a good move - it incentivises the company and the markets to work together to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

I imagine we'll see the Share Price calm down for now until the next piece of good news is issued. Hopefully, this won't be too far away.

Also, Vettel to Aston Martin seems like a very real possibility. He is said to have found the working culture of the English at Red Bull far more to his liking than the more uptight Ferrari, I think the Aston Martin environment would suit him down to the ground. It's a very exciting prospect

And the future Aston Martin team are currently leading 1-2 at the top of the timesheets! No doubt the order will change soon but still, it's heartening to see. I'm excited for Aston Martin adventure to really kick off in 2021

Agree, I'm sure there's more good news in the pipeline but until then we can only watch as it rises and falls

Is anyone else pleased at the appointment of this lady? Between her time spent working as COO for LSE and her time at ANGLE, where she helped with commercialisation of tech I feel she could be just what this company needs - someone whom the markets like and with experience of bringing technology to the markets. What do people think?
