Throwback Thursday ⏮

Back in 2008, our partnership with Native Oyster Network began when we were asked to design and develop a cage capable of restricting, or inhibiting, bacteria and barnacle growth. 

So we got to work! Specifically, we were asked to develop a plastic that had hydrophobic properties so that when the tide went out, the water would run off the cage leaving no residue.

Were there any difficulties? Well...yes! As with most techniques, it was a case of trial & error. Through research and development, the result was that we identified a commercially viable mixture and injection moulding production method.

Check out the final result👇🏼 and take a look at our other projects: https://bit.ly/3CJKiTV
