Refractory Materials Collaboration
Versarien Plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering
group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a collaboration
agreement with Refractory Solutions Insertec S.L.U. ("Insertec"),
an international manufacturer of industrial furnaces and refractory
products, headquartered in Spain.
Under the collaboration agreement, Versarien and Insertec will
be working on a project to incorporate Versarien's Hexotene(R) into
certain of Insertec's refractory materials with a view to enhancing
their performance in molten metal applications.
Hexotene(R) is a few layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)
nanoplatelet powder with large lateral dimensions. Also known as
"white graphene", hexagonal boron nitride has a layered structure
similar to graphite. With high chemical purity and mono-layer
particles confirmed, Hexotene(R) was added to Versarien's high
performance 2D material product range in March 2018.
Some of the key properties of Hexotene(R) that the Company
believes could be particularly beneficial when added to Insertec's
high temperature refractory products include its high thermal
stability, high thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength and
its resistance to many chemicals and solvents.

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "I am delighted
that Versarien is working with Insertec with a view to enhancing
the performance of their ceramics, used in foundries and other
areas when molten metals are handled, through the addition of
Versarien's Hexotene(R) . This is our first collaboration utilising
Hexotene(R) in a high temperature industrial application and we
look forward to working with the Insertec team.
"As outlined at the time of our AGM on 24 September 2019 our
other key collaborations continue to progress in line with our
expectations and I look forward to providing further updates on
those, together with new potential applications for our 2D
materials that are currently under discussion, in due course."
