This was from October 3 Update

Alexium staff are now working with Pine Belt on finalization of the process parameters for optimal process performance and cost. Final production goods will be required for T&E by testing at government facilities which includes lab-scale testing and limited user evaluation (“wear trial”


This was from the 31 October quarterly

Alexium will continue to work alongside Pine Belt on the final process to optimise performance.


This was from the Chairman’s letter in December

We are pleased to report that the transition of Alexium’s FR NyCo technology to Pine Belt’s facility is progressing with production scale testing underway. Early results have been positive with the targeted launderability and flame retardancy standards met in the testing undertaken so far. The current focus of this effort is on further process refinement to enable the optimal product performance. Upon satisfactory completion of these application trials, the next phase is military trial and evaluation. Based on progress so far, this is expected to occur before the end of FY20.

From today

Key metrics such as burn performance and wash durability have been satisfied, with the focus now on optimizing the application process for consistency.


Reading between the lines, they hit a bit of a snag during the final application trials at Pine Belt. Sounds like application isn’t consistent enough yet and that needs sorting out before the military trial and evaluation can happen.
