Apexel Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of BLUEWIN, possesses the world’s only Top-Down Nano Technology. This revolutionary technology, which has been recognized with Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine, is considered to be more than a century ahead of its time. Currently, no other advanced country has been able to replicate or commercialize this technology, making it a unique global achievement.
The following introduces the durability and benefits of ELODE, a product that incorporates this groundbreaking technology. Apexel’s Top-Down Nano Technology stands apart from conventional dry and wet milling methods, offering high purity, customizable particle size control, cost efficiency, and environmental friendliness.
It enables the production of tailored nano-materials for various industries and is ideally suited for high-performance applications. Particularly in the fields of electronics and battery materials, this technology holds potential as a viable alternative to traditional processes, with promising applicability across numerous sectors.
Apexel’s advanced Top-Down Nano Technology uses a proprietary dry 3D milling technique that combines grinding, shearing, particle collision, electrostatic charge, and friction. This enables various materials to be downsized to the nanoscale efficiently. Here are the distinctive features and advantages of this advanced technology.
Apexel’s proprietary dry nano 3D milling technology can uniformly mill diverse materials down to nanoscale sizes, ranging from 1 nm to 1000 nm. Unlike wet milling, this dry method avoids the use of additional chemicals or solvents, preserving the purity and stability of materials and resulting in high-quality nano powders. This is especially beneficial in fields requiring high-purity materials, such as electronics.
This technology enables nano-sizing of most materials without the need for dispersants, enhancing product purity and quality. Traditional nano milling typically requires dispersants to prevent particle agglomeration; however, Apexel’s technology minimizes this need. As a result, nano particles produced using this method maintain the raw material's inherent properties, which is advantageous for sensitive applications such as biotechnology, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
The technology allows precise control over particle sizes within a range from 1 nm to 1000 nm, enabling the production of tailored nano powders for various industrial needs. For instance, the semiconductor industry may require ultra-fine nano particles, while the energy and environmental industries may need functional nano materials with specific particle sizes.
Apexel’s Top-Down Nano Technology is widely applicable across multiple industries, including electronics, semiconductors, energy, construction, biotechnology, cosmetics, and agri-food sectors. This flexibility facilitates innovative product development and process improvements. Notably, the technology meets the high purity requirements of micro-powder production in the electronics and battery sectors, delivering both quality and efficiency.
The dry 3D milling method generates less waste and fewer pollutants compared to wet methods, making it more environmentally friendly. Additionally, by eliminating the need for solvents, the technology reduces operational costs. With minimal energy consumption during nano-sizing, the technology supports high-efficiency production, which is essential for cost savings in large-scale manufacturing environments.
Nano particles with expanded surface areas exhibit increased chemical reactivity, as well as enhanced conductivity and catalytic efficiency. For example, nano particles used in battery materials can increase energy density, while those in catalytic materials accelerate reaction rates. Such characteristics are valuable in high-performance fields like electric vehicle batteries, advanced semiconductors, and functional cosmetics.
BLUEWIN’s ELODE equipment stands out because it applies Apexel’s Top-Down Nano Technology to produce nano-sized materials, which are subsequently used in key coating applications to improve performance and durability. For instance, when titanium (Ti) and iridium (Ir) are nano-sized and then used in nano penetration coatings, they can offer distinct advantages due to their unique physical and chemical properties.
Titanium’s inherent durability and lightweight properties make it a preferred choice across industries. Using titanium nano powder in penetration coatings improves surface strength and wear resistance, making it ideal for high-performance, lightweight, and durable coatings.
Titanium is highly biocompatible, making it ideal for medical implants. When nano-sized titanium is used in penetration coatings, it can improve bone bonding through surface roughness control or enhance the biocompatibility of medical devices with added antimicrobial properties.
Titanium offers excellent resistance to corrosion, enabling highly protective surface treatments. In highly corrosive environments such as marine, medical, and chemical processing equipment, nano-sized titanium coating layers offer long-term corrosion prevention.
Titanium nano coatings enhance both electrical and thermal conductivity, expanding their applicability to fields such as EV batteries and electronic components. With thin, uniform coating layers, the excellent conductivity of titanium can be effectively utilized in coated parts.
Iridium’s remarkable heat and oxidation resistance allow it to remain stable even in extreme high-temperature environments. Nano penetration coatings using iridium are beneficial in aerospace and high-temperature catalytic applications, providing durable heat-resistant coatings ideal for turbine parts and jet engines.
Iridium is an excellent catalyst, particularly for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Applying iridium nano coatings to electrode surfaces can enhance reaction rates and improve power efficiency in fuel cells and water electrolysis devices. Nano-sized coatings with increased surface areas provide higher catalytic activity.
Iridium exhibits strong chemical durability, maintaining stability in highly acidic and alkaline environments. When nano-sized iridium is used for coating, a durable protective layer is created, providing exceptional corrosion resistance in chemical equipment and corrosive environments.
Iridium’s hardness and wear resistance are improved with nano particle coatings, making it suitable for components subject to friction. Nano particle coatings provide greater surface hardness and wear resistance, enhancing the performance of various mechanical and industrial components.
Titanium and iridium nano powders produced with Apexel’s Top-Down Nano Technology enable high-performance penetration coatings for high-value-added industries, providing optimal solutions in extreme environments where durability and high performance are essential. BLUEWIN’s ELODE equipment incorporates this technology to great advantage.
