2. 1. Product, competitive advantages
New zeolite with nanostructured protective layer for increased durability
upon contact with water, with high mechanical strength and capacity
Solution :
1. Use as a nanoscale pore-forming agent Alumina-silicate nanotubes (ANT)
2. Applying nanostructured activation and modification and forming protective layer
depth up to 300 microns
Competitive advantages:
1. High protection of the zeolite by exposure to
water in the liquid state. Increase in strength
upon contact with water or oil (2-3 times
better than analogs)
2. Provide high capacity (water vapor, nitrogen
and carbon dioxide) and high mechanical
strength - 50-100% better than analogs
3. Technology protected by two applications for
an invention and 3 trademarks filed in 2012
and know-how

3. 2. Market, business model
Target segment share in 2015: granular synthetic zeolites for the petrochemical
industry and cryogenics- 10%, zeolites for short-cycle adsorption -50%.
Product profitability: the profitability of the product up to 50-60%
Business model:
1-st year -sale of 2 licenses for the production of zeolite with a protective layer
2 -nd year - creating of pilot production of 12 tons ($ 300K)/ Year, REACH certification,
Sales to Cryogenmash, Geliymash, Logic
3-d year -scale –up of production to 300 tons($1.5M)/Year, Sales to Gazprom, Sibur,
Rosneft, Linde, Technip
4-5 years - scale -up production to 1,000 tons($5M)/Year, Expanding sales in
international markets (EU, Iran, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine) and
companies AirLiquide, Siad
The volume of global market of zeolites and adsorbents has stable
growth over the forecast period.
Market Current size Growth (per year)
Global market of synthetic zeolites $ 2 B 5,3%
Russian market of synthetic zeolites $ 300M 10-15%
Russian market of zeolites for short-cycle dsorption $ 1М 10-20%
