What Raymor does
Raymor Industries Inc. is a privately held Canadian advanced materials company headquartered in Boisbriand, Quebec, that manufactures high-purity carbon nanomaterials — principally single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and graphene nanoplatelets — for industrial and academic customers worldwide. Originally incorporated in 1980 as a lithium mining company, Raymor pivoted in 2005 into nanomaterials and now operates through two core divisions: Raymor Nanotech, which runs the patented RF induction plasma torch process for industrial-scale SWCNT synthesis at over 500 kg/year capacity and 1+ kg/day throughput; and NanoIntegris Technologies (acquired April 2012), which supplies electronic-type separated nanotubes using a proprietary density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) process and the patent-pending conjugated polymer separation technique licensed from the National Research Council of Canada.
The product portfolio spans unsorted SWCNT (PureTubes, SuperPureTubes, HiPco, PlasmaTubes), separated semiconducting and metallic SWCNT (IsoNanotubes-S, IsoNanotubes-M, IsoSol-S100 ink), and graphene (PureWave, PureSheets), with pricing ranging from $10/gram for bulk PlasmaTubes to $1,000/gram for electronic-grade SuperPureTubes. The company earns revenue primarily through direct hardware sales via its website and a distributor network covering Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, India, and the Middle East, supplemented by licensing royalties from NRC technology. Target applications include transparent conductive films, field-effect transistors, sensors, photovoltaics, and lithium-ion battery materials, with named enterprise adopters including IBM and Xerox Research Centre of Canada, and over 500 published scientific studies validating the materials in academic and industrial R&D.

Raymor product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Raymor manufactures and supplies single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), separated semiconducting and metallic nanotubes, and graphene nanoplatelets through its Raymor Nanotech (industrial-scale plasma production) and NanoIntegris (electronic-type separation) divisions. Products are sold as powders, aqueous solutions, and organic solvent inks to industrial manufacturers and academic research institutions. The portfolio targets electronics (transparent conductive films, transistors, sensors), energy storage (lithium-ion battery anodes/cathodes), and biomedical applications.
Product overview
Raymor operates as a nanomaterials company with two main divisions: Raymor Nanotech (industrial-scale SWCNT producer using proprietary plasma technology) and NanoIntegris Technologies (high-purity separated nanotube supplier). The product portfolio centers on carbon nanomaterials for electronics: Single-wall carbon nanotubes (PureTubes/SuperPureTubes, HiPCO, PlasmaTubes, and sorted IsoNanotubes-S/M variants) and graphene products (PureWave and PureSheets). NanoIntegris specializes in electronic-type separation of SWCNTs into semiconducting and metallic fractions, while Raymor Nanotech focuses on high-volume plasma-based production. The IsoSol-S100 represents their flagship high-purity semiconducting ink. These materials serve electronics applications including transparent conductive films, field-effect transistors, sensors, and photovoltaics.
