Contract Awarded to Develop Graphene Ink-Based Heaters for Low Power Hot Water

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is pleased to announce it will be collaborating with Cadent Gas Ltd (‘Cadent’) and the Energy Innovation Centre to develop graphene ink-based heaters for low-power hot water. The £135,000 three-stage project will run for an initial 15 months.

The graphene solution has the potential to offer a low-power way to heat water when there is an interruption to the gas supply. Currently, the provision of fan heaters and hot plates to vulnerable customers without a gas supply can be expensive and challenging, particularly for elderly or disabled customers.

Stage one of the project will see Haydale working directly with Cadent to identify up to four specific and detailed use case scenarios where the graphene ink-based heaters could be used across Cadent’s network. The aim of the 15-month project is to develop an operational pre-product prototype.

Development of graphene-based, high conductivity inks and coatings that can be applied to surfaces have the potential to provide even heating across large areas with a very thin profile. This technology is made possible by Haydale’s patented HDPlasÒ process, which promotes efficient dispersion of nanomaterials and allows the surface chemistry to be altered to improve the physical and electrical properties.

Graphene ink-based heaters offer a low-power solution requiring only a 24V direct power supply via a static or portable battery pack. It is easy to adapt and flexible enough to be printed onto multiple substrates such as metals, plastics, fabrics, and glass.

Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: “We look forward to working with Cadent and the Energy Innovation Centre on the use of functional graphene inks in the energy supply market. Our graphene-based heater technology offers the potential of a low-power solution for use in people’s homes to keep them safe and warm when there is an interruption to supply.”

Mark Pritchard, Cadent Innovation Specialist, said: “We are looking forward to working alongside Haydale on this innovative project, whereby we aim to find a low-power solution to enable many customers in vulnerable situations to be able to heat water to an optimum temperature, to allow them to stay warm, wash, clean and live independently.”

Claudia Sequeira, Head of Development & Deployment for the EIC, said: “The EIC Partnership has explored the use of graphene in the energy sector in past projects and it is very exciting to collaborate with Cadent and Haydale in the development of this next step. The project will provide tangible learning applied to specific use cases where we can assess the impact of the technology in keeping customers in vulnerable situations safe and warm during an interruption to the gas supply.”

Haydale Awarded Supply Agreement for its Proprietary Functionalised Thermal Fluid
27 January 2022

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is pleased to announce that it has signed an Exclusive Supply Agreement (“The Agreement”) to produce a thermal fluid for High Tech Systems Ltd (“High Tech Systems”) over an initial three-year period.

Working in collaboration with High Tech Systems, Haydale will use its patented plasma functionalisation technology to enhance the thermal conductivity and dispersion of boron nitride in thermal fluid applications. By enhancing the thermodynamic properties of water, Hi-Therm™ can significantly reduce the energy required to heat buildings, both domestic and commercial.

An estimated three million households in the UK are thought to be struggling to afford their current energy bills and this number is only expected to increase with the predicted energy price cap rise in April this year. High Tech Systems’ patented thermal fluid, Hi-Therm™, aims to transform the domestic and commercial heating sectors by substituting commonly used water in the radiators with Hi-Therm™ in both existing and new build heating system applications.

Hi-Therm™ heats up quicker and offers up to 55% more heat transference than the water currently used in typical heating systems, so by installing Hi-Therm™ it is possible to reduce carbon emissions and offer significant fuel savings to millions of domestic and commercial buildings in the UK and beyond.

While demand will depend on the speed of roll out, High Tech Systems have committed to an up-front purchase of £60,000 of functionalised boron nitride fluid.

Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: “Reducing the carbon footprint and developing efficient technologies is at the forefront of innovation currently. Haydale with its plasma functionalisation technology is leading the way, and this Agreement represents a significant step forward in the commercialisation of thermally efficient nanomaterials in the energy sector. We look forward to working with High Tech on production for the domestic and commercial heating markets.”

Vince Rice, High Tech Systems CEO, said: “We are incredibly excited to be working alongside Haydale in bringing Hi-Therm™ to market. We are confident Hi-Therm™ will play an important role in the UK in helping combat carbon emissions and significantly reduce energy bills in both domestic homes and commercial properties, especially when we are coming into a time of significant uplifts in energy costs. We are very proud that Hi-Therm™ has been developed in the UK and, through our partnership with Haydale, it will also be manufactured in the UK.”

Haydale Awarded SMARTCymru Funding to Develop Anti-Counterfeiting Technology
12 January 2022📈

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a SMARTCymru grant from The Welsh Government that will enable the Ammanford-based company to progress with the development of its anti-counterfeiting ink technology, PATit (the "Project").

The Project has a total cost of £169,000 and is expected to take six months to complete. The SMARTCymru grant, which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, will cover circa 50% of the anticipated project costs.

PATit is an anti-counterfeiting technology that uses graphene-enhanced, high-performance conductive inks and proprietary software codes for brand and security protection that is non-copiable and does not require expensive printing processes or electronic chips (NFC / RFID).

PATit has been developed to address a market need for smart disruptive technologies in the security tag sector. The anti-counterfeiting technology is planned to be manufactured in Wales.

Funded by SMARTCymru, which supports growth of Welsh industry by increased investment in research, development, and innovation, PATit aims to provide a mass market anti-counterfeiting technology that addresses the current market need for secure low-cost anti-counterfeiting technologies. Central to the overall performance of PATit is Haydale's patented plasma enhanced surface functionalisation process, which allows the surface chemistry of nanomaterials such as graphene to be altered to improve the physical and electrical properties.

PATit is innovative to existing technologies for brand and security protection by using proprietary software codes and a speciality graphene-based conductive ink. This enables counterfeiting devices to read the unique ink when printed onto a product label or other material. The Project will also focus on the development of the mobile app software and secure server system required to store and read the PATit codes. There are now several Patents approved for PATit including the EU and US.

PATit has also been shortlisted for a 2022 British Engineering Excellence Award in the 'Materials Application of the Year' category. The winners will be revealed at a gala lunch on 18th March to be held in London at The Landmark Hotel.

David Davies, UK Managing Director at Haydale, commented:

"The funding will build on the already significant developments Haydale has made in ink development using our patented plasma functionalisation process. With the award from SMARTCymru, Haydale's path to commercialising its anti-counterfeiting technology, PATit, will be accelerated allowing us to further develop our graphene-enhanced functionalised inks.

"The aim is to be able to provide the PATit technology to the mass market to meet the need for affordable high volume brand protection and provide a step to green environmentally friendly anti-counterfeiting products that we believe will surpass technologies currently available."

Haydale GNPs Enhance Clothing for iCraft and Pro-Spec
11 January 2022

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is pleased to announce that following the successful incorporation of graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) in its cosmetic face mask sheets and PPE face masks, iCraft is using Haydale’s functionalised GNPs in its graphene-coated fabric, THERMiT™.

Addressing a need for increased performance in terms of thermal and antibacterial properties, Haydale’s plasma functionalised GNPs have been used to coat the nylon fibres in the lining of a down jacket. The graphene coated fabric, THERMiT™, was supplied to South Korean sports apparel brand, Pro-Specs, for use in a new graphene-enhanced jacket. The initial production run of 8,000 items, which was available in store and online, sold out within weeks of being released.

Using Haydale’s patented HDPlas® functionalisation process the GNPs are applied to the nylon lining. The functionalised nanomaterials give the jacket an increased thermal insulation rate of more than 6% when compared to conventional nylon fabrics.

Unlike normal clothing materials, graphene is inherently bacteriostatic and in clothing provides enhanced anti-bacterial properties. Combined with the increased thermal conductivity, Haydale’s GNPs offer a way of enhancing performance clothing in a way not available from other companies in South Korea.

In collaboration with Haydale, iCraft plans to develop the fabric further including combining it with other wearable devices. At this early stage the parties are not yet able to anticipate how iCraft’s increased use of functionalised GNP’s will impact the volume requirements in the three-year contract that the parties signed in September 2020.

Yongjoon Lee, iCraft, Project Manager, said: “iCraft has worked with Haydale to develop graphene products and bring them to the Korean and Asian markets. Due to the excellent THERMiT™ sales results, we will continue to use it and focus on securing large domestic customer orders in premium graphene-enhanced clothing.”

Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: “There is growing interest in graphene-enhanced clothing, and we are delighted to see the application of functionalised GNPs in a premium garment. We expect demand for graphene wearables to continue to grow particularly in areas of e-textiles, smart fabrics and heated garments.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Reasons for the Fundraising and use of proceeds

The financial year-ended 30 June 2021 has taken place against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic which, whilst restraining revenue, has acted as a catalyst to deliver on the strategic priorities that the Group has previously set out. Notwithstanding the challenges raised by the pandemic in several key markets the Directors consider that the Group has delivered a resilient performance in the year and, by focussing on elements within our control, made solid strategic progress towards our longer-term goals.

The Group continues to transform itself from a research and development organisation to a manufacturing business focussed on commercialising its portfolio of technology and securing profitable outcomes.

The opportunities we set out last September continue to develop and our progress towards commercialisation also includes:

- Ordering a larger plasma reactor to deliver a significant increase in our functionalisation capacity, to move production capacity to an industrial level from early 2022;

- Culmination of the three-year wearable technology program with the English Institute of Sport which has produced heated garments worn by podium athletes at Tokyo;

- Filing of a joint patent with Airbus for the lightning strike electrical pre-preg. This technology has the potential to reduce the weight and environmental impact of a commercial airliner;

- Signing of a collaboration agreement with ProMake Limited to support in the delivery of Lot 2 and Lot 4 of the UK National Microbiology Framework;

- Sale of elastomers to the footwear market and commencing feasibility projects with several premium leisure footwear manufacturers;

- Positive progress on the commercial roll out of CeramycGuard™ - currently working closely with a number of UK water utilities and other water facility management companies; and

- Signing of a memorandum of understanding with Viritech for the development of Type IV structural hydrogen tanks.

Proceeds from the Fundraising will put the Group in a stronger position to accelerate the next stage of its development, specifically to:

- fund working capital requirements across the next 12-18 months;

- support debt facilities in scaling up manufacturing capacity at the Company's Ammanford site; and

- to drive forward product rollout into the US market.

Financial Update

The Directors believe that the Group has delivered a robust performance for the year-ended 30 June 2021 given the general economic uncertainty and the well reported headwinds in the aerospace sector. The Group's unaudited revenue for the year of £2.90 million (FY20: £2.95 million), showed a small decrease on the prior year. Unaudited other operating income, which is mainly grant funded projects, at £0.57 million (FY20 audited: £0.76 million) is below historic levels which reflects the Group's move away from grant funded to commercial projects. The Group's unaudited gross profit, which excludes other operating income, reduced marginally to £1.98 million (FY20 audited: £2.06 million) delivering an unaudited gross profit margin of 68% (FY20 audited: 70%).

Group overheads reduced by 11% year on year and have reduced by circa £2.4 million (31%) since FY18. For management review purposes lease costs are treated as an operating expense as the Directors feel that this more accurately records the trading liabilities of the Group. The Group showed a reduced loss EBITDA of £(2.76)million (FY20: £(3.17) million), before the application of the changes required for the treatment of leases under IFRS 16. Group cash and cash equivalents at the year ended 30 June 2021 was £1.64 million (FY20: £0.82m).

Group Outlook

Whilst the Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly depressed demand and subdued the Group's revenue expectations for the year ending 30 June 2021, it has not defined the Group's performance. The clear priority remains to commercialise the Group's cutting edge technology and the progress it has made since the last fundraise gives the Group the confidence that it is moving towards an inflexion point as it sees a more wide spread adoption of the benefits that our technology offers.

The Directors remain mindful that downside risks that could impinge on the general recovery persist, and the Group remains dependent, to an extent, on the pace of recovery in specific sectors such as aerospace and on the wider economy more generally. However, the progress it is seeing reinforces the Directors' belief that, whilst navigating the new industrial landscape will remain challenging, it is in the knowledge that the Group is moving in the right direction

The Group is pleased to report that it has made a positive start to the year ending June 2022.
