Haydale secures nearly half a million pounds in government grants

Haydale has been awarded over £450,000 by the government to work on series of research projects. The studies, set to take place over the next 18 months, include several areas of research like a low cost, self-cleaning graphene enhanced coating which could be used to clean and filter swimming pools and waste water, as well as developing resins and coatings for boats and sign posts which emit UV fluorescent dyes under impact.

The research grants will be paid at the end of each project and depend on various milestones being achieved. Haydale states that the awards allow the firm to engage with aerospace, automotive, rail and marine markets.
