X2F has developed a new transformative molding technology that enables manufacturing of parts and materials that were previously impossible. X2F’s technology leverages a patented pulse-packing process that’s 80% lower pressure than conventional techniques to create complex geometries, stronger & more durable parts, and enhanced material properties. X2F is currently deployed at production scale with excellent customer results across a range of end-markets. Initial target application areas for X2F include: (1) Battery and electronics packaging with 10-20X improved thermal properties – X2F technology can process highly filled polymers leading to extreme thermal conductivity that provides up to 200% improved battery performance. (2) Heat sinks that are 49% lighter weight – Polymeric heat sinks are significantly lighter than aluminum and more affordable. X2F is able to dramatically simplify the manufacturing process. (3) Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene – X2F offers the world’s first net shape molding technology which is lower cost and more efficient. (4) Filled polymers with 30% more strength – X2F technology can process a wide range of polymers like PEEK, PPS, PP, and Nylon filled with carbon fiber & glass that are 30% stronger & stiffer. X2F has partnered with early adopter organizations in each of these focus areas and is deploying the technology in the consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and medical industries. The company is backed by Atlas Innovate with senior advisors that include the former CEO of General Motors and Dow Chemical. More details can be found at www.X2F.com
