OAS completes first commercial sale
Oxford Advanced Surfaces Group ("OAS"), the AIM listed technology developer targeting engineered materials and surface modification applications in the automotive, aerospace, communications and renewable energy markets,announces today that it has made the first commercial sale of its proprietary technology, OntoTM.
Following a trial using the EP1000 evaluation pack an order was placed and fulfilled for our EP1020 brush-coat product for adhesion promotion. The challenge was dramatically to improve bonding between a construction-based industrial coating and a high density polyethylene. EP1020 provided an effective and convenient solution; the treatment was applied to the substrate onsite and delivered markedly improved adhesion performance.
Whilst this was a one-off sale for a specific problem, it demonstrates the unique capabilities of OntoTM technology based products.
Philip Spinks, CEO commented: "We are delighted that our EP1000 products have solved a difficult problem for our customer. We hope this is the first of many orders and believe that this will demonstrate our abilities to a wider market. Our products have a place both on the production line and in the field."
