ArcActive
View all Current opportunities
ArcActive has developed a continuous system for the production
of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT's) and Activated Carbon which results in a
highly transformed carbon fabric that can be used in a number of
products.
The company has applied for three patents and has a number of
additional patents planned for application shortly.
The initial product under development is a Lead Carbon Battery
for Micro Hybrid cars. Micro hybrids (which have a "no idle"
function) will increase from their current low levels of market
penetration to as many as 34 million batteries per year by 2015,
driven by the need for automakers to meet recently mandated
emission targets in both the EU and USA by 2015.
The ArcActive Lead Carbon Battery is expected to have a long
life and low cost in comparison to competing technologies. These
are extremely attractive characteristics in the cost sensitive auto
industry.
ArcActive seeks to partner with an appropriate company or
companies to help with the development and manufacturing of the
ArcActive micro hybrid product.
