DENVER, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair International (Nasdaq: ALTI, news, msgs), a
development stage company is expected to begin shipping commercial quantities of
titanium dioxide nano-particles in this year's fourth quarter.
The company's first market opportunity is for Altium TiNano 40 anatase crystals to be
used as UV protection in skin care and cosmetic products. A second application is as an
additive to a ceramic coating developed for the Navy that increases impact resistance 4
times.
Nanotechnology (a nanometer equals one billionth of a meter) is the marriage of
chemistry and engineering in building materials at the molecular level. Current
nanomaterials increase strength and resilience, remove imperfections, lower weight and
cost, and provide photo resistance. Over the next decade nanomaterials will influence
"virtually every man-made object" according to the National Science and Technology
Council. While many potential advances such as computing at the molecular level are
years away, a number of commercial markets, on which Altair is focused, are just
emerging.
Altair's thin film process appears to produce a more consistently sized nano-particle at a
lower cost than that of existing vapor and solution processes. Further, Altair's surface
chemistry control methods and dopants can allow for variations in porosity, conductivity,
photo catalytic activity and other desirable features not obtainable through these other
technologies.
Michael Shonstrom, President of Shonstrom Research Associates noted that the
industry's only pure play, Nanophase Technologies (Nasdaq: NANX, news, msgs)
currently has a market capitalization of $135 MM and the company's stock sells at a
multiple of 52.1 x trailing twelve month revenues of $2.5 MM. Altair's nano-particle
revenues could reach an estimated $5.0 MM in 2001. Further, the company is expected
to announce a number of new applications and technological initiatives with significant
industry partners over the next year.
On a parallel path the company is developing a titanium ore deposit to add new
production to $7 Billion mineral markets faced with diminishing sources of supply.
Shonstrom Research Associates has initiated coverage with a speculative BUY rating
and a 12 month price target of $9 per share.
