This week I welcome Bill Easter, the Founder & CEO of X-MAT® on the show to discuss a revolutionary, high-performance material that combines some of the best properties of metals (electrical conductivity), engineering plastics (lightweight), and ceramics (high operating temperature).
In 2013, X-MAT®, the Advanced Materials Division of Semplastics, began the development of an all-new high-performance material. The X-MAT® material was created.
Semplastics has been supplying precision plastic engineered components to a broad range of industries since 2000, including the semiconductor, medical, aerospace, and energy industries.
Recently, X-MAT® was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to continue the research and development of its coal roof tile X-TILES™.
“X-TILES™ are coal reimagined,” said Bill Easter. They are lightweight, fireproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. Not only is this coal-derived roof tile stronger than its traditional counterparts, it’s also eco-friendly.
Their X-MAT® technology has the power to disrupt many industries and we’ll be discussing some of the latest projects they are involved in on today’s episode.
