We provide commercially available nano-engineered materials
Zyvex Technologies pioneered the development of commercially available nano-engineered materials. Beginning in 2005 with the world's first carbon nanotube enhanced products in a partnership with Easton Sports, Zyvex has continued to introduce innovative new materials products to customers in automotive, marine, and aerospace.
Leveraging a $40B supply chain with industry leading materials manufacturers, Zyvex currently delivers nano-engineered composite carbon and glass fiber products, Arovex, as well as adhesive products, Epovex, to performance driven customers. Beginning in 2012, Zyvex also serves the rubber product industry with ZyMER, the world's first commercially available nanomaterial engineered rubber product.

Arovex - Nano-engineered Composites
Arovex is the platform brand of CNT and graphene engineered composite materials using our proprietary Kentera dispersion technology. Available on a wide variety of glass and fiber reinforcements, Arovex is a uniquely positioned material that provides a significant advantage in toughness without compromising strength.
The incorporation of nanomaterials into the resin systems used in Arovex helps protect the material from fracture damage. Customers choose Arovex to improve the performance of a product without compromising weight advantages of composites. Variants of Arovex are currently used by customers in sporting goods, automotive, marine, aerospace, and defense. Data sheets are available in our resource section. Please contact us to discuss how Arovex can improve your products.

Epovex - Nano-engineered Adhesives
Repair and maintenance applications are an ideal segment for Zyvex to demonstrate the power of nanomaterial engineered products. With a bonding strength stronger than welding, Epovex Adhesive allows our customers to rapidly repair and maintain their products with the confidence that the latest in materials technology is hard at work.
In simple terms, Epovex is a structural adhesive for carbon fiber. Introduced in 2010, it provides superior bonding strength through the incorporation of carbon nanotubes in the 2-part epoxy adhesive. As the world continues to adopt composite materials in a wide variety of markets, Epovex Adhesive is an ideal choice. Please visit our resource section for data sheets and additional information.

ZyMER - Molecularly Engineered Rubber
ZyMER is the only commercially available rubber compound technology that successfully transfers the advantages of carbon nanomaterials into a variety of elastomer products. Using a proprietary version of our Kentera technology, ZyMER is an ideal method to improve the mechanical and electrical performance of rubber compounds.
ZyMER is an advantage over other toughening agents or metals in rubber. Improving tear strength by as much as 50%, ZyMER additives do not negatively impact rubber’s elasticity and translates into more efficient manufacturing rubber products, such as gaskets, belts, and bladders. ZyMER is also suitable for conductive electrostatic dissipation applications previously impossible for rubber products. Please visit our resource section for more information or contact us to learn more.

Award Winning Solutions
Zyvex Technologies provides their customers with award winning chemistry solutions. While carbon nanomaterials are inherently strong, their properties are not easily transferrable to other materials, such as carbon fiber or plastic. Using patented Kentera™ chemistry, Zyvex develops solutions for customers seeking to leverage the power of nanomaterials into their current or future product portfolio.
We typically service our chemistry customers with specific polymer developments or leverage the decade of experience we have with nanomaterial chemistry. Our team of Ph.D. chemists are uniquely suited to handle your toughest challenge. As a company, we have received a prestigious R&D100 award for our breakthrough chemistry that first enabled commercial products powered by nanomaterials. Contact us to get started on an industry-changing project for your business.

Kentera - 'The Bridge'
In their raw form, carbon nanomaterials are only compatible with other nanomaterials and don't mix well into most commercial products. This poses a problem to companies seeking to leverage the mechanical or electrical advantages of nanomaterials. Often times, companies who have not seen improvements did not have the proper 'functionalization' technology.
Kentera™ chemistry creates a customized bridge between carbon nanomaterials and the customer desired host matrix material. We have developed over 350 different Kentera molecules, each specialized for different applications - from resins to rubber. Unlike other methods, Kentera is already scaled and commercially available. Our technology has powered real commercial nanotechnology applications for sporting goods, automotive, marine, and aerospace customers since 2005. Learn more about Kentera in our technology section.
