Halloysite is tubular and in mining and processing, some of the tubes become compromised and unusable for nano app--presumably that's what you're talking about. I'd guess that if it's economically feasible to separate microscopic intact nanotubules from the rest of the compromised tubules you could probably still sell the cull to china makers, etc. If that's what you're talking about, good call. I'd guess also that the further processing that our new nano distributor is doing may be along the lines of separating the useable tubules from those that aren't and perhaps even sizing them. I don't know if that's true but it sounds like it would be pretty expensive. robj
