HaloSpin™
Patented nanofiber production technology
We have invented a novel high-capacity solution-spinning technology for nanofiber manufacturing
called halospinning which is fundamentally faster than electrospinning.
Why nanofibers?
• Nanofibers are 100 times smaller than a human hair
• Diameters ranging from 100nm to 4 µm
Nanofibers have potential uses in many sustainability and health-related industries

This is because of the
unique properties that nanofibers possess
High porosity
Large surface area to mass ratio
Increased mechanical properties
Nanofibers are the ideal material
only limited by cost
HaloSpin™ technology
Our patented high-throughput halospinning technology reduces costs and allows for continuous production of nanofibers.
Halospinning is a nozzle-based non-electrostatic field solution-spinning method that is faster than alternative nanofiber production practices such as electrospinning.

The patent US 11,697,892 describes the method and device for the production of polymer fibers.
Unique material morphology
Compatible with many polymers and solvents
Customizable material properties
Scalable high-speed production
Cost- effective
Material comes in rolls
The formula can be adjusted to specific needs
We have ample experience working with synthetic, bio-based, absorbable, and degradable polymers and mixtures.
The production of nanocomposites and the addition of pharmaceutical active ingredients are also possible.
We have experience with many synthetic, plant-based and bio-based polymers. Some examples are listed here and there are many others we can work with.
Biobased:
• Gelatin
• Alginate
• Chitosan
• Zein
• Hyaluronic acid
• CMC
​
Synthetic/other:
• PVP
• PVOH
• PLGA
• PCL
• SAN
• PAN
• PU
• PA6
• PEG
We can customize the material according to your needs
Depending on the need and polymer used, we can make nanofibrous materials with a diameter of 0.1 to 10 ​μm and a thickness of 0.1 to 400 g/ sq. m (starting from 3 g/ sq.m possible without substrate).
The desired properties of the material can be adjusted by varying the formulation: Absorption/degradation rate, controlled active ingredient release, moisture and gas exchange, antimicrobial properties, etc.
A variety of post-treatment and coating technologies are also available.
