Flexiteek has received a new EU patent for its 2G synthetic teak
The grant of patent EP3071473A1 covers the material composition and 2G technology used for the product and joins existing patents for material composition in both the USA (US9676925B2) and Sweden (SE538714C2).
“Throughout 2020 we are celebrating 20 years of innovation and are therefore delighted at the timing of the EU patent,” said Tomas Gustafsson, Flexiteek International CEO. “There is a misconception that all synthetic teak is heavy and hot underfoot, this simply isn’t true with Flexiteek 2G synthetic teak.”
The teak has been developed to cool 30% faster than traditional composite decking and have a 35% weight saving compared to other composite decking systems.
It is manufactured using a REACH compliant phthalate-free plasticiser and is fully recyclable.
Flexiteek works with more than 100 major boat builders and OEM clients worldwide, including Hanse Group, Cantiere del Pardo and Sunseeker International.
Skeleton Technologies explores graphene battery with a 15-second charging time technology
Skeleton Technologies, a specialist in graphene-based ultra- capacitor energy storage, has partnered with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The partnership aims to complete the development of the SuperBattery, a groundbreaking graphene battery with a 15-second charging time.
This extra fast charging time coupled with charging cycles counted in hundreds of thousands make the SuperBattery a perfect solution for the three main issues affecting marine electric propulsion, slow charging times, battery degradation, and range anxiety. According to Skeleton their patented Curved Graphene carbon material, enables the high power and long lifetime of ultra-capacitors to be applied in a graphene battery.
Skeleton Technologies’ CEO Taavi Madiberk commented, “Cooperation between European energy storage companies is key for the EU to be a global leader in energy storage. We are delighted to have signed the SuperBattery development deal with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and combine forces to bring to market a technology that will blow existing EV charging solutions out of the water. Together with Li-ion batteries, they have it all: high energy and power density, long lifetime, and 15-second charging time”.
