BASF has signed a one-year contract with NanoMaterials Technology Pte Ltd (NMT), based in Singapore.

Focusing on nanoparticle synthesis and application development, the collaboration will involve the use of NMT’s technology for producing stabilised and agglomerate-free zinc oxide nanosuspensions. These particles, which can be less than 20 nanometres across, can be given a functionality and then used in catalysts, polymers and pigments.
