When producing a new product, there's a lot of tweaking to be done with the Machinery/Chemicals involved! You don't just order a new Chemical Technology, then expect it to be delivered at your timetable! Believe me Gelest is working diligently to produce the Highest quality product, or maybe the one that exactly mimics the patent spec's!
I truly believe that at least one major Company will use the stuff in its products, that meaning a pretty huge order after all the de-bugging and testing has been done away with? Then, if that happens, which is pretty certain, at least to me, other Companies will not want to be left behind, and order CHS too! It could become a pretty big thing in time! But don't expect large orders to be taken right away!
Yes, CRTG has tested the stuff enough to get a patent, or patents, on the CHS material, but Companies like EV Automobile Companies will give it a rigorous testing, which takes about a year or two! They just cannot find any defects that could cause failures of some sort, which would certainly signal failure for their products and Company? By the time all the preliminary work is done, the early models will be produced using the old stuff! The manufacturer of the Components that will contain the CHS will first have to produce a viable Component, then get the OK from the Car Manufacturer to see if it matches both their Cost of that advanced component, as well as the MPG expectations that our guys have thrown out there? It might not be as efficient once it is coupled to the component in question, though it seems that the product is directly related to the Higher storage capacity of our CHS? Whether it will be the Heir apparent to the old stuff is still not certain in my mind!
And whether a Nano Sheet form of that CHS can be produced, making for greatly improved Storage capacity if it can be done, and a much more durable product as well! It has been done with Graphene, supposedly the next big thing in Car Chassis material, Aircraft chassis material, or component parts material! Graphene in the Nano form is stronger than Steel, more durable than Steel, with other qualities as well! A sheet of one Atom connections has great advantages! I don't know if our CHS can qualify for Nano production however? A lot still to learn! IMO..
In the infusion of a new base material, it seems to me that a lot of re-arranging and changing of everything will have to be done to the end-product! Don't know for sure of course, but it makes sense to me! So hold on to your hats, it might take a while?
