What is Nanomesh™ - The Seldon Nanotube Technology
Seldon has developed a proprietary material that is the first to successfully harness the unique properties of the carbon nanotube for the purification of fluids. By using a scalable wet-laid reel to reel production process to build a nonwoven material out of evenly dispersed nanotubes fused together, Seldon has created a product that has many significant and cost effective applications in the purification of water.
The carbon nanotube, discovered in the early 1990’s, is well understood by scientists in this field to be the strongest material ever made. Nanotubes can also be functionalized with other molecules to alter their treatment characteristics. Seldon has developed very tight control over the specific composition and production process of the Nanomesh™ filtration media. By specifically altering these variables, it can control such characteristics as the Nanomesh™ media strength, porosity, flux rate, and treatment capabilities. This control enables Seldon to create unique and specific products for water purification. Numerous independent research studies have established that the multi-walled carbon nanotube possesses unique ground-breaking ability to remove contaminants from water and other fluids.
Seldon owns important intellectual property; as it has secured two significant US patents for its filtration materials, processes and uses which are registered in target markets.
Seldon's products clean water without the use of heat, chemicals, power, ultraviolet light or contact time, in a cost effective manner at high flow rates. Seldon’s clean green technology products improve both the environment and offer enhanced performance to the customer. Seldon’s simple drinking water products will supplant incumbent water filtration “systems” because they offer higher filtration performance at a more cost efficiency. Seldon products represent a fundamental shift in POU water filtration and are the first significant new POU technology in nearly fifty years. Seldon Products produce water, which contains minerals and salts essential for human health and provide pleasing tasting water.
Patents and Trademarks
Seldon owns three very important patents to protect its technology. The importance of these three patents is the cumulative interlocking impact on Seldon’s business and products. Seldon has patented the full range of activities behind the production of its products; from the manufacturing processes, to the materials produced from manufacturing to the products which contain the manufactured filtration Nanomesh. Two of the patent registrations are exhibited below; the third registration is awaited from the Patent Office.
- Patents on fluid purification materials; provides broad coverage of materials incorporating CNTs for fluid purification. Issued: US on May 2007 – 7,211,320; EU August 2007; Spain, Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany and The Netherlands Oct 2007. This patent covers the filtration material (media) we call Nanomesh; which is the central important part of our filtration products.
- Patents on fluid purification articles: provides broad coverage of products incorporating CNTs for fluid purification; Issued in US on Sep 2008 – 7,419,601; Pending in EU. This patent covers the devices which incorporate our Nanomesh media; i.e. the products we produce for the consumer.
- Patent on nano material manufacturing: just allowed by USPTO, will formally issue as a patent in approximately 3 months; it grants Seldon broad rights to the reel to reel, e.g. papermaking, production of nano materials. This is not limited to filtration materials; but would cover such other uses as the production of composite materials.
Field Testing
Carbon Nanomesh ™
Seldon's patented water purification technology
This versatile carbon structure is ultra strong and highly conductive which provides breakthrough properties for filtration. The enormous amount of surface area can also be adapted for specific contaminant removal.
The tiny fibers (carbon nanotubes) capture contaminants and the open structure promotes a high flow rate.
