Boston Materials enables the makers of industrial and consumer products to break through their design trade-offs with new materials.
We developed a patented material that behaves like metal in the Z-axis direction but can be processed like a polymer composite – we call this material Z-axis Fiber™. In addition to unlocking new, high-volume, and energy-efficient products, Z-axis Fiber is manufactured using 100% reclaimed feedstock materials to reduce embodied carbon footprint. Z-axis Fiber has a $450B+ addressable market with applications including reducing the weight and emissions of aluminum, keeping electronics cool, making more efficient hydrogen fuel cells and more.
The overarching vision for Boston Materials is to become the leading high-performance materials supplier to enable a circular economy.
