The Company

The company is continuously updated on the latest research and development and thus are an obvious choice for consultancy advice in these fields. The founders belong to a number of committees involved with magnetic liquids and are the authors of many original scientific papers.

Ferrofluids and other magnetic composite materials are produced in the company’s well equipped laboratories augmented by access to additional research facilities available locally. In addition to the traditional ferrofluids based on hydrocarbon and diester technology,the company also has available fluids based on perfluoropolyether materials.

The strong research and development base, which is unusual in such a small company, enables a fast response in the development of new specialist materials and products required to meet new technological demands.

Among its achievements the company has received three SMART awards for research and technology from the Department of Trade and Industry and has participated in a number of projects partly funded by the EC.

Bangor is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and has good access by road and rail. Manchester International Airport is less than a 90 minute journey via the newly completed A55 trunk road which also connects to the UK motorway system.
