What we do

Eminate is dedicated to the design and commercial application of micro and nano particles, coatings and powders.

The business operates across a range of sectors, including:

• Food and ingredients

• Health

• Pharmaceuticals

• Energy storage

Our research and development teams work in partnership with a number of companies, universities and research organisations to develop new products and provide innovative solutions to commercial challenges.

We are based in the East Midlands with offices, a fully equipped research laboratory and state of the art production facilities in Sutton Bonington and Nottingham.

Coatings

We have worked hard to gain a broad expertise in developing and commercially exploring novel coatings for use on a range of surfaces, including metals, ceramics and biocompatible materials.

Coatings have been developed with a range of specific properties, including:

• Increasing the lifespan of a cutting component by up to 10 times

• Providing physical antimicrobial properties on a medical device

• Electrically conductive coatings for shielding and static dissipation

• Encapsulation of sensitive surfaces to prevent corrosion

We have some of the very best skills, equipment and facilities at our disposal and have completed a number of previous projects relating to Coatings.

Particles

We have highly specific, patented expertise in producing a very specific type of small (5-30 micron) hollow sphere from a range of natural materials. We are able to cover these hollow particles with a range of passive or active compounds, including flavourings, colours, pharmaceuticals, vitamins and minerals.

Each particle can also be covered in bespoke coatings to infer specific properties, such as insolubility or slow release. As a result, we have been able to develop bespoke particles for the commercial food, ingredient, pharmaceutical and animal feed sectors.

Our teams are continually developing novel combinations of particle material, filling and coating for niche and research applications, as well as for more mainstream purposes.

We have some of the very best skills, equipment and facilities at our disposal and have completed a number of previous projects relating to Particles.

Metal powders

Our team at Eminate has the expertise and capability to design, manufacture and commercially implement novel metal powders.

This is achieved through the use of our unique pilot scale powder atomising facility and aided by our close links to The University of Nottingham’s Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering.

Current research activity is focused on the hydrogen and energy storage markets.

We have some of the very best skills, equipment and facilities at our disposal and have completed a number of previous projects relating to Metal Powders.
