Svenska Aerogel is once again sending an order – this time for 720 kg of Quartzene[®] – to its returning French customer Renovcoat. Renovcoat sells cool roof paint containing Quartzene[®] in the French and African markets. The company is now gaining market share in France, and the number of installed square meters is steadily increasing.
Two of Svenska Aerogel’s key customers have recently introduced products incorporating the company’s material Quartzene[®]. Additionally, several other customers have advanced in their business development and entered new phases. Tor Einar Norbakk, CEO of Svenska Aerogel, highlights these developments and provides an update on the company’s current business.
SeaQare[®], Svenska Aerogel’s advanced technology for antifouling paints, has previously showcased remarkable results in two independent static ocean tests carried out in Sweden. Now the company has expanded testing to international waters, as SeaQare[®] is currently being tested in Florida, United States. The aim of this new test is to demonstrate the product’s efficacy in a different geographical and environmental context.
