Peak Nano has introduced NanoPlex films as a service (FaaS) for designing, prototyping, and limited production of polymer films. The platform offers tailored solutions for various industries like medical, food packaging, electronics, aerospace, and more. Clients can collaborate with Peak Nano’s team to develop new film structures efficiently.

Through FaaS, clients can streamline development timelines and reduce costs associated with creating new polymer materials. Peak Nano’s nanolayering process modifies properties at the nanoscale, resulting in films with tunable characteristics like barrier, mechanical, optical, and dielectric features. The service includes stages such as rapid prototype development and testing for scalability to commercial production.

Customers have the option to outsource manufacturing to Peak Nano or utilize third-party/internal resources, avoiding lengthy resin R&D phases. NanoPlex films developed through FaaS are suitable for various sectors like medical packaging, electrical insulation, recyclable food packaging, aerospace, defense, automotive components, and industrial products. The platform also enables cost reductions and sustainability features like downgauging and increased recyclability.

Peak Nano operations are backed by over 20 international patents and a manufacturing facility in Valley View, Ohio. CEO Jim Welsh highlighted the rapid development and delivery of new film capabilities from commercially available polymers through nanolayered architectures, offering breakthrough performance in weeks at a fraction of the cost. The company is also pursuing nanolayered biodegradable films for food, beverage, and medical packaging, supported by the Greater Akron Polymer Innovation Hub.

Peak Nano’s “Films as a Service” platform eliminates the traditional bottleneck of waiting for new resin inventions from manufacturers. The company aims to provide rapid, cost-effective solutions using nanolayered architectures, delivering breakthrough performance in weeks. The pursuit of nanolayered biodegradable films for packaging applications is part of the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
