Seeking: Methods & Technologies to Allow for Undersea Pipe Movement & Expansion in Extreme Environments
A yet2 client is seeking technologies that can allow for the expansion and movement of undersea pipes over short distances. The pipe will be attached at a fixed point at one end, and the proposed solution will need to mitigate occasional movement due to expansion while withstanding high temperatures and pressure.

Water-Repellent, Fluor-Free, Super-Hydrophobic Coatings Technology
yet2 seeks to license, on behalf of Janssen PMP, its novel, developmental, water-repellent, fluor-free, super-hydrophobic (FF/SH) coatings technology. Two unique value propositions of these coatings are that they offer:
— Far superior performance to widely used paraffin wood coatings
— Competitive performance to fluorine-based coatings at a considerable cost advantage
We anticipate that existing customers and non-customers with positions in Janssen’s core wood protection, anti-fouling and industrial & health/hygiene microbial control markets will have interest. In addition, the technology and formulations offer benefits across a broad range of application spaces, both industrial and consumer, including: water repellent paints, textiles & apparel, concrete, stone & brick, marine coatings and ‘consumer/aftermarket waterproofing.’ Thus, coatings companies and large-scale users of protective coatings will want to consider securing this technology.

yet2 in the News
Reporter Tess Eggington of the East Midlands Business Link recent interviewed Edward de Paz, managing director of yet2 Europe, on our expansion to Nottingham, UK.
She writes: “yet2 has it’s origins in a venture launched by a consortium which included global innovation leaders like DuPont, Procter & Gamble and Honeywell.
“Today, it’s an owner-managed consultancy which operates across the globe for clients which range from FTSE100 and Fortune 500 companies to the US space agency NASA.
“[yet2] has just opened a second UK office at the University of Nottingham Innovation Park (UNIP) – one of the largest concentrations of research commercialisation in the Midlands.”

Window Film Reflects High-Angle Solar Heat Rays Back to the Sky Rather than Warming Nearby Ground
A yet2 client has heat-ray retro-reflective film that reflects heat rays that come from high sun angles back into the sky rather than reflecting them down to the ground. By reflecting high-angle solar heat rays back to the sky, the heat-ray retroreflective film helps minimizes any heat rays reflected at neighboring structures, which in turn could help alleviate heating of the ground around a building. Therefore, it is expected that this film will minimize the heat island effect with proper usage. In tests using the heat-ray retro-reflective film, SAT (sol-air temperature, an adjusted outside air temperature reading) was approximately 10% lower than that produced even by Low-E glass.
