Tera-Barrier Films
Tera Barrier is a spin-off from the A*Star Institute of Materials Research and Engineering in Singapore. They are developing a thin film flexible barriers for use in organic electronics and thin film PV industries. The technology utilities metal nanoparticles and can be deposited using high-speed techniques such sputtering. Their display grade layer has been evaluated by the Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science and has been found to have a 10E-6 WVTR using the Tritium test. Tera-Barriers will be ramping up production via partnership with a Japanese manufacturer.
