Haydale Graphene Industries – Capital Network: The Tipping Point
The nanomaterials market is transitioning from a concept technology to commercial applications. Haydale (HAYD.LON) specialises in the integration of nanomaterials into commercial and industrial technologies. We argue that this is a good position to occupy within the value chain – exposed to end market growth but not exposed (negatively) to the likely future price compression in raw graphene or other nanomaterials.
Major applications for Haydale (HAYD.LON) include composite materials, specialty inks and coatings, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). The nanomaterials are graphene and silicon carbide, and potential others in future. We argue that these applications have now reached a tipping point from research to commercial reality (see pie charts p2).
REVENUES – STRONG GROWTH
In the trading update of July 19th, Haydale (HAYD.LON) announced that FY June 2017 total income (revenue and other) has doubled, meaning about £3.9m for the year. Based on the order backlog, and major projects under way, we expect further strong growth in the next few years. We consider two of the specific channels for further growth.
In November 2016 Haydale announced a Joint Development Agreement with Huntsman Corporation to develop graphene enhanced resins. Adding small amounts of graphene in the resin layers of materials like carbon fibre can dramatically improve (x10) the dissipation of electrical charge (aerospace applications) and heat (aeros and autos). The deal with Huntsman potentially dramatically accelerates Haydale’s penetration of this market.
Secondly, Haydale’s progress into Asian markets should benefit, in our view, from a couple of developments – the September 2016 acquisition of Innophene in Thailand, and the February 2017 collaboration agreement with Everpower International Holdings. Opportunities in Asia include specialty inks for bio-sensors, various composite materials, and additive manufacture technologies. In this report we present a snapshot of the revenue growth profile (charts on p2).
Haydale Graphene Industrials uses materials, including graphene and silicon carbide (SiC), to enhance the quality and performance of its customers' products. In the U.S., Co. manufactures proprietary silicon carbide fibres and whiskers that strengthen ceramics and enable scratch and wear resistant coatings. Applications for SiC include scratch resistant cookware, corrosion barriers for oil and gas pipelines and cutting tools, for example, jet engine turbine blades from solid billets. Co. has developed proprietary graphene-based inks and coatings for the print and biomedical sensor markets, as well as enhanced resins for the pre-preg carbon fibre market.
