Nano
Specials was founded on November 1st 2005 as a buy-out
from LWB Eindhoven. In 1999 LWB bought
the chemical department of Philips Display Components
in Eindhoven and started LWB Eindhoven. The main business
was based on the development, production and sales of
fluorescent powders for the cathode ray tubes (CRT) of
Philips and LG Philips Displays.
All people working at Nano Specials worked in the past
on the development and operations of CRT phosphors in
Eindhoven. They are used to work with big volumes of inorganic
powders, suspensions and dispersions. The capacity of
the CRT-phosphor plant was 500 ton phosphor powder per
year.
In 1995 Philips started using nanosized Antimony-TinOxide
for a transparent antistatic coating on the outside of
a CRT tube. They decided to develop their own nanoATO
particles and started production in 1998 at the chemical
department of Philips Display Components. At its peak
20 ton ATO dispersion (12%) was produced in the Netherlands
(Eindhoven) and Taiwan. Until 2003 this ATO product was
only used for Philips and LG Philips Displays CRT production.
In 2003 the current Director Hugo Delissen of
Nano Specials and R&D manager Roel van de Belt started
business development of these nanosized ATO particles
beyond the CRT business.
From 1986-1996 the Phthalcon 11 product was developed
at Shell in Amsterdam. The project leader was Dr Brokken.
When Shell sold their Polymer division the Phthalcon 11
project was discontinued. After her retirement at Shell
Dr Brokken started working at the TU Eindhoven and Dutch
Polymer Institute (DPI). She is very experienced in the
field of (nano)composite polymer materials and coatings.
In februari 2005 entered a cooperation with LWB Eindhoven
to commercialize the Phthalcon 11 product.
During 2005 the decision was made that LWB would
consolidate the phosphor business. As a result Nano Specials
became an independent company focusing on the production
and aplication of nanoparticular materials.
