Empower Materials of New Castle DE recently obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification. This high quality standard solidifies our commitment to the industries we serve.

Empower Materials of New Castle Delaware has developed a new breakthrough catalyst to synthesize Polyalkylene carbonates, known as QPAC. The new catalyst system allows for a wider range of molecular weights and improved control of the byproduct content. This catalyst also is more effective than the existing system, therefore making the process more efficient and higher performing.

QPAC^® Products in New Applications

Recent advancements have been made in formulating QPAC in electronic electrode and termination pastes.  These advancements allow for using QPAC as a binder in metallic electronic inks / pastes.   The use of QPAC contributes to a cleaner more higher performing paste with improved electrical properties.
