How Galvorn is made

From carbon nanotubes to a macro-scale platform material.

For decades, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) promised extraordinary properties — exceptional conductivity, strength, and flexibility — but remained trapped at the nanoscale, used primarily as additives and dispersed into other materials in powder form. Realizing their potential in a real-world, industrial-scale material required a fundamentally different approach.

Fluid phase alignment engineered for industrial scale

At DexMat, we pioneered a process to unlock that potential. We transform carbon nanotubes from a disordered powder into Galvorn — a continuous, high-performance macro-scale material delivered in forms that manufacturers can put to work immediately.

01 Dissolving

We start with very pure, high-quality carbon nanotubes. Using solvents, we dissolve the disordered CNTs into a solution — a critical first step that enables precise control over the material's final structure and properties.

03 Scaling

While the specifics of our process are proprietary, it is fundamentally a fluid processing technique — similar in principle to the processes used to produce high-performance polymer fibers like Kevlar® and Dyneema®. This approach not only optimizes material performance, it makes production economically and industrially scalable in a way that no dry-process CNT fiber technique can match. Galvorn is engineered for industrial scale from the process up.

Galvorn is supplied in production-ready form factors

Galvorn CNT fibers and films are constructed into multiple forms to suit the specific requirements of wire and cable manufacturers across our target industries. Each form factor is designed for direct integration into standard industrial manufacturing processes — no exotic handling, no proprietary dispersion techniques.
