Boehmite-Coated Glass Fibre: Advancing High-Performance Materials for Heat Resistivity and Durability
At Adoxima Pty Ltd, we are continually advancing material science through our proprietary Disordered Nano-Cluster (DNC) technology. This case study highlights the breakthrough potential of our Advanced Boehmite. The critical attributes of the smaller particle size and higher surface area were tested by coating a piece of glass fibre.
Through both internal testing and independent evaluations by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai, we’ve demonstrated how our innovative coating can redefine performance standards across various industries.

Lab Test Results
Ballistic Performance: 3rd Party Lab
3rd party lab conducted a thorough evaluation of our Boehmite-coated glass fibre to quantify its mechanical properties. The findings were substantial:
-
Maximum Tensile Stress:
-
Boehmite-Coated Fibre: 25 MPa
-
Standard Glass Fibre: 9 MPa
-
-
Modulus:
-
Boehmite-Coated Fibre: 121 MPa
-
Standard Glass Fibre: 62 MPa
-
The Boehmite coating resulted in a 278% increase in tensile strength and a 95% increase in modulus, making it a strong candidate for applications requiring high impact resistance and durability.
In an internal test, we applied an open flame to both untreated and Boehmite-coated glass fibre samples to assess their thermal stability. The results:
-
Untreated Glass Fibre: The sample began degrading within seconds, turning brown and losing flexibility. After 20 seconds, it melted and collapsed, leaving a fragile, blackened residue.
-
Boehmite-Coated Glass Fibre: Withstood 30 seconds of continuous flame exposure—50% longer than the untreated sample—without significant degradation. The fibre remained intact, with only minor discolouration and no loss of structural integrity.
