Black Diamond Structures will exhibit (Booth 50) and deliver a presentation regarding our latest product solutions for the Lead acid battery industry at the 15th European Lead Battery Conference, organized by the International Lead Association, in Valleta, Malta, September 13-16.

Dr. Paul Everill, principal research scientist for lead acid batteries, will discuss Black Diamond’s current and developing lead acid battery product series which is based on our proprietary technology, MOLECULAR REBAR.  His presentation, entitled “Discreet Carbon Nanotubes for use in enhanced flooded batteries and other applications”, will provide details of our most recent test results.

Please stop by Booth 50 to discuss how we can assist you in meeting the needs of the lead acid battery consumer.

Black Diamond Structures participated in its first industry exhibition in China, the China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2016), the single largest and most comprehensive battery exhibition in the world.

The focus of the Black Diamond exhibit was its innovative nanomaterial products and solutions for the energy storage industry.  These products utilize a proprietary technology, MOLECULAR REBAR, which produces individual, high aspect ratio, clean, functionalized and open-ended multiwall carbon nanotubes.  These unique tubes are dispersed in an aqueous solution for ease of use in any size of manufacturing process.

Black Diamond Structures is a joint venture between Molecular Rebar Design, a leading nanomaterial innovator and SABIC, one of the largest diversified chemical companies in the world.

San Antonio – Black Diamond Structures was one of 3 companies honored at the Battery Council International’s first Innovation Award – the Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Innovation Award – which celebrates innovation in equipment, processes, services, and products that advance the lead battery industry.in the enhancement of lead acid battery.

“Battery Council International is pleased to have received 18 submissions for the Award,” said Mark O. Thorsby, Executive Vice President of Battery Council International. “The lead battery industry is not one typically known for its innovation and to have received so many innovative submissions is a true testament to our industry.”
