SMALL is the new

BIG

SMALL is the new

because..

...DSM NeoResins+ has developed a new

technology platform to make very small but

very profitable particles.

We will call them NeoPearls for now...ht

We have some ideas how to use them

but we are

convinced that

there are

many more

possibilities..

And that is why

We offer this technology to you to develop new applications together with us and....

..create successful business

along the way;)

So, what are

NeoPearls?

They are very small...

The smallest ones are only 50 nm, that is

0.00050 mm!!

SOLID PARTICLES

SOLID PARTICLES

•Based on a cross-linked unsaturated polyester / styrene resin (the material we normally use to build yachts, car parts or windmill blades)

And this is what we know about the little guys:(feel free to skip two slides if this is too technical)

SOLID PARTICLES

•Based on a cross-linked unsaturated polyester / styrene resin (the material we normally use to build yachts, car parts or windmill blades)

•They are fully cross-linked, so they-do not dissolve in common organic solvents,-are thermally stable (do not melt, get sticky or deform) up to 240 °C,-are mechanically stable and rather hard.(since they are very small, we can not measure their compressive strength or hardness)
