About SabiNano

SabiNano is a privately owned South African nanotechnology company that manufactures and supplies carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and other nanotech-based materials and technologies for research and innovation (R&I) and industrial applications. The company also conducts strategic R&I projects and consultancy services for nanotech-based products and services through private-private (B2B) and public-private partnerships (PPPs). We also provide nanotech laboratory analytical services for a wide range of industries including chemicals, energy, automobile, coatings, water/wastewater treatment, advanced materials, mining, electronics, amongst others.

The company was founded in 2008 but officially became fully operational in 2018 with support from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). The Directors of SabiNano boast of extensive know-how and professional knowledge in the development and application of carbon nanomaterials (e.g., multiwalled CNTs, doped CNTs, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon spheres) and diverse forms of other nanostructured materials (e.g., nanocellulose, electrospun nanofibers, nano-titanium dioxide, etc) with a wide range of dimensions (shapes and sizes). SabiNano’s offices and manufacturing facilities and laboratories are currently located inside Mintek* in Strijdom Park, Randburg, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Our nanotech products and technologies have applications in energy storage, batteries, energy devices, water/wastewater treatment, mine/industry tailings, sand stabilization, lightweight/mechanical reinforcement, heat dissipation materials, civil engineering and construction, electronics, transportation, and other environmental and health-related applications.
