Global Defence Group TenCate Advanced Armor Signs BNNT
Collaboration and Distribution Agreement
Advanced technology investor PPK Group Limited (ASX: PPK) is pleased to announce its portfolio
company BNNT Technology Pty Ltd (www.bnnt.com.au) has signed its first defence sector
collaboration agreement with survivability systems specialist TenCate Advanced Armor
(www.tencateadvancedarmor.com).
Entry into this agreement follows two years of continuous improvements by the BNNT team which
has led to significant progress in automation and process efficiency, resulting in a material
reduction in the underlying cost of BNNT to enable wider industry market adoption.
Under the terms of the agreement, TenCate will purchase 250 grams of Boron Nitride Nanotubes
(BNNT) for infusion and testing into an agreed set of TenCate's products during 2023 to test and
validate improvements in protection performance. TenCate will also be able to distribute BNNT to
other global defence customers and raw material suppliers.
PPK Chairman Robin Levison said the agreement was an important step towards the full
commercialisation of BNNT in the defence industry vertical.
“We look forward to working with TenCate to develop independent validation of the unique
properties of BNNT as well as a range of commercial defence applications,” he said.
“Collaborating with global organisations like TenCate provides a clear path to product validation
and large-scale commercialisation of BNNTs.”
TenCate Advanced Armor is a global provider of lightweight, mission-critical survivability and
protection solutions. Its portfolio of bespoke, highly-engineered composite products covers
personal protection, platform protection (vehicles and vessels), and military and civil aircraft
protection.

"TenCate is very committed to collaborating with BNNT Technology Pty Ltd to test the BNNT
technology across our business. TenCate as a company is heavily focused on product innovation
and excellence. We believe BNNT technology has the potential to give us a significant strategic
advantage in protection performance, both for our own products and with our raw material suppliers
as a distributor of BNNT".TenCate Advanced Armour is now Integris Composites. With our new name comes the independence of a stand-alone business. Free to bring forth our capabilities – ...
