Where are Baytubes® already used?
Baytubes® are extremely resilient. They might only have a quarter of the mass of steel, but they are 5 times stronger when subjected to mechanical loads. They also conduct electric current as effectively as copper. The tiny tubes can be used to produce extremely robust plastics that are constructed in the same way as reinforced concrete. Baytubes® are already used in epoxy systems, thermoplastic systems and coating systems. Final products are typically high-tech sport equipments; injection molded and extruded parts as well as conductive coatings. An excellent example is the current use of Baytubes® in skis, ski poles, hockey and floorball sticks, baseball bats or surfboards. In those cases, Baytubes® help to improve the mechanical strength of some of those articles as well as reducing weight in some others. Baytubes® can be used to make rotor blades for wind turbine plants lighter, longer and thus more efficient. And in the automotive industry, the use of Baytubes® in plastics can avoi
