Orbite ships first 5N+ high purity alumina samples

Orbite Technologies Inc. announced shipment of its new samples of high purity alumina ("HPA") to prospective customers.

The company had previously shipped 4N8 HPA samples to prospective customers. Feedback on purity and chemical composition of samples was positive and these prospective customers had indicated their desire to test HPA that is more representative of full-scale, commercial production, notably relative to mechanical properties.

Orbite subsequently modified its existing calcination equipment and process to mimic more closely the new permanent setup. These new samples produced at Cap-Chat are more representative of the Company's intended final products. Purity levels achieved were up to 5N5 (99.9995% purity), which the Company will refer to as 5N+ going forward.

These samples will ship to existing and new potential customers.

Additionally and as previously indicated, Orbite is advancing on producing milled samples to meet certain specific requirements relative to particle size distribution for other potential customers than those who have received samples to date. As announced previously, these samples are expected to ship in October.

"We are very pleased in having been able to produce HPA of such high purity levels of 5N and above", stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "As before, these samples were produced entirely at our Cap-Chat facility, which we believe further validates the strength of our technology. With commencement of commissioning and commercial production drawing near, we have stepped up our commercial efforts. With two sets of samples now shipped, production of an additional set for different customer demands in progress, and the announcement of our collaboration with NRC in the field of battery applications, we are moving ahead on several fronts that we anticipate will help secure off-take from our HPA plant."
