Press
Release Summary: The license agreement with Boeing will permit
A2 Technologies to utilize the patents in the application of A2’s
portable Exoscan FTIR spectrometer for non destructive testing
of aerospace composite and metal materials.
Press
Release Body: A2
Technologies today announced they have entered into
a patent license with the Boeing Company allowing the use of Boeing
patents in association with the development, manufacture and sale
of A2 Technologies’ FTIR Spectrometers.
The license will permit A2 Technologies to utilize
the patents in the application of A2’s portable Exoscan
FTIR spectrometer for non destructive testing of aerospace
composite and metal materials. Examples of the applications include
the use of the Exoscan for measuring the affect of excessive heat
on the chemical structure and strength of composite material,
and the ability to non-destructively analyze the effectiveness
of certain surface treatments in composite and metal materials.
Exoscan
is a high performance FTIR that puts a laboratory quality spectrometer,
literally in the palm of one’s hand. With the addition of
the Boeing patent licenses, A2
Technologies can now provide proven FTIR based analytical
methods that will significantly increase the types of materials
that can be analyzed in a variety of applications that are critical
to aircraft manufacturing and maintenance.
Jon
Frattaroli, CEO of A2 Technologies stated “we
are excited to have entered into this licensing agreement with
the Boeing Corporation. Boeing is clearly the leading US aircraft
manufacturing company. They are also leaders in using FTIR spectroscopy
in a wide range of aerospace applications, particularly related
to composites and surface analysis. But it is the combination
of A2’s Exoscan spectrometer and the Boeing patents that
will finally enable methods traditionally carried out in laboratories
to be deployed into aerospace manufacturing facilities and maintenance
hangers.”
Headquartered
in Danbury, Connecticut, A2
Technologies is taking FT-IR spectroscopy out of
the lab and into the field. A2 Technologies manufacture
and develops portable FT-IR spectrometers designed for the analysis
requirements of the aerospace, petrochemical, environmental, metals
and mining and other industries where there is a need for at-site,
out-of-laboratory analysis.
