I don’t think the large company just started testing QMCs dots. Dow also probably had small quantities of Nanoco qdots. Nanoco says they’ve been making them at their Runcor facility.
There are a number or reasons why Dow might advertise.
What would Dow want with QMC? Could be multiple things or just one to justify the move to QMC flow technology. 1) Cost, QMC can have a reactor up and running for a fraction of the cost and overhead of a large scale batch facility. 2) Quality of qdots being produced to meet customer specifications 3) Consistency of product being produced. 4) Ability to rapidly scale to meet market demand Just a few solid reasons!
