Q1. How does
Canano
Technologies
make its nano-powders?
A1.
Canano
Technologies
produces its
nano-powders
through an
advanced
proprietary
vacuum/condensation
process.
Q2. Is the
nano-powders
dangerous to
work with or
ship?
A2.
Some nano-powders
are
classified as a
flammable solid.
All of our
shipments comply
with the
stringent
requirements of
governmental
agencies, the
common carrier
and our own
highest
standards.
Powder is
shipped under
inert gas and in
air-tight metal
containers. The
material can be
spark, friction
and shock
sensitive so
customers should
take all
necessary
precautions and
use locally
approved
procedures for
handling
nano-powders
(For shipping
information
please contact
Monique
Glasius).
Q3. What are
some of the
applications for
Canano
Technologies
nano-powders?
A3.
Canano
Technologies
nano-powders
can be used for
rocket
propellants,
airbag gas
generators,
additives for
plastics,
solar cells,
lubricants,
cutting tools,
inkjet printing,
paint
and powder
metallurgy.
Q4. How is the
particle size
and oxide shell
thickness
measured?
A4.
Particle size
and oxide shell
thickness are
calculated by
combining
surface area
measurements (by
gas adsorption)
,
thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA)
Scanning
electron
microscope (SEM)
or Tunelling
electron
microscope
(TEM).
Q5. What is the
typical oxide
thickness?
A5.
Typical oxide
thickness ranges
from 2.0 - 2.5
nanometers.
Thicker oxides
are available
upon request.
Thinner oxides
make the powder
very sensitive
to shock,
friction and
exposure to air
and water,
though Canano
Technologies can
supply particles
with less than a
2.0 nm shell to
qualified
customers.
Q6. How much
powder is
available?
A6.
As much as you
need. Canano
Technologies is
currently
expanding our
production
capabilities to
meet customer
demand. We will
continue to grow
production as
required.
Q7. What
nanopowder
constitutes the
bulk of Canano
Technologies
production?
A7.
Most production
is focused on
the manufacture
of 40-60
nanometer powder.
Q8. Can I get
help developing
my applications?
A8.
Yes, we have a
highly regarded
expertise in
nano-powder
formulations.
