NON-STEEL REINFORCEMENT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia*

Fibre-reinforced plastic/polymer (FRP) and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) consist of fibres of polymer, glass, carbon, aramid or other polymers or high-strength fibres set in a resin matrix to form a rebar rod, or grid, or fibres. These rebars are installed in much the same manner as steel rebars. The structures have advantages, in particular a dramatic reduction in problems related to corrosion, either by intrinsic concrete alkalinity or by external corrosive fluids that might penetrate the concrete. These structures can be significantly lighter and usually have a longer service life. The cost of these materials has dropped dramatically since their widespread adoption in the aerospace industry and by the military.

In particular, FRP rods are useful for structures where the presence of steel would not be acceptable. For example, MRI machines have huge magnets, and accordingly require non-magnetic buildings. Again, toll booths that read radio tags need reinforced concrete that is transparent to radio waves. Also non-steel reinforcing often has its advantages where corrosion of reinforcing steel is a major cause of failure. In such situations corrosion-proof reinforcing can extend a structure's life substantially, for example in the intertidal zone. FRP rods may also be useful in situations where it is likely that the concrete structure may be compromised in future years, for example the edges of balconies when balustrades are replaced, and bathroom floors in multi-story construction where the service life of the floor structure is likely to be many times the service life of the waterproofing building membrane.

Plastic reinforcement often is stronger, or at least has a better strength to weight ratio than reinforcing steels. Also, because it resists corrosion, it does not need a protective concrete cover as thick as steel reinforcement does (typically 30 to 50 mm or more). FRP-reinforced structures therefore can be lighter and last longer.

There is growing interest in applying external reinforcement to existing structures using advanced materials such as composite (fiberglass, basalt, carbon) rebar, which can impart exceptional strength. The number of projects using composite rebar increases day by day around the world, in countries ranging from USA, Russia, and South Korea to Germany.

Here and now, in Russia and many other countries:

FRP REBAR / REMESH / GRIDS
STRONGER, FASTER, BETTER, MORE AFFORDABLE CONSTRUCTION

A FEW FRP FACTS

Sales of FRP rebar in Russia and the CIS countries has grown ~20 times in just five years: 0.1% of the rebar market in 2012 vs. 2% in 2017

Reinforcement normally takes up to 10-20% in Industrial Construction costs and reinforcement in floors takes up to 80% in all reinforcement costs when it comes to warehouses and manuacturing facilities

In the Russian construction regulation GOST life cycle of buildings is designed as 50 years normally and this is directly connected with the life cycle of steel reinforcement. History Channels 'Life After People' documentary clearly demonstrates that in 80-100 years the concrete will decompose and buildings will go down. For the composite reinforcement it takes over a thousand years to decompose thanks to resin; e.g. amber is hardened resin, too

MAIN QUESTIONS

Composite materials and products are on the great rise which seems to be unstoppable, and many countries and international companies of various profiles join the club - and the future - at an astonishing pace.
With concrete reinforcement being one of the most accessible segments of composite market in general competition is tough and choice of partners is huge.

Each new member regardless of size and weight has the same questions: what, where, how much, with whom. Those who have been burnt with unsuccessful experiences put special stress on the last question and add: 'for how long?'

How Much, Where

The price factor usually comes first. Here we can hardly offer anything to prospective partners who look for the lowest price as the lowest price in most cases is the privilege of barely legal garage-like enterprises. On a higher quality level it is a privilege of some of the biggest companies normally.

However, everything's relative as you know. Compared to the former our prices are decent, transparent and flexible as beyond 'here and now' we also look into the future*. Compared to the latter, we compensate by speed, customization, vibrant R&D plus good old human-to-human approach. And here our prices 'as is' can successfully compete even with the biggest companies out there (especially if we are talking about highly developed markets with higher labor, technology and innovation costs)

As for 'where', main production site is located between Asia and Europe, right in the heart of a knot formed by a few national and international trade routes. In the short term the company launches a JV in South-East Asia, and for the mid-term there is a number of negotiations with companies from India, the Middle East, South America, various regions of Asia and three regions in Africa

*If/when JVs are in place we will be able to provide better pricing and faster logistics to nearby countries.

For right now we offer machinery and a complete technical and marketing expertise umbrella within the framework of JVs while prospective nationwide dealerships may expect price-wise compensation in order to make national marketing a bit smoother.

With Whom

To us 'with whom' is the most important question and, hopefully, it is the same for you - so a bit longer paragraph seems to be appropriate. We are quite a young company but we have already gained serious weight on the national market due to the fact that the very core of our approach to business is sincere strive for innovation. Throughout history any such innovation is accompanied by lower price, higher quality, enhanced reliability and simplicity of use. Just think of AK-47 and other famous Russian technical inventions: simple, easy to use, reliable, affordable. Reliability is a two-part factor: our product and machinery are like this and our views on partnership are like this.

We treat our partners not only as means of making profit, and one simple proof of this is the fact that right now we are the only company in Russia which provides official guarantee by major state-owned insurance corporation and (despite the fact that there has not been a single insurance request) each year the company renews the contract in order to provide peace of mind and assurance to our partners, with no upper limit whatsoever.

How Long

When 'with whom' is clear, 'how long' is pretty much obvious: as long as there are healthy business and human-to-human relationships. On our side we do everything within our powers and even more to stick to the agreements. Thinking ahead and beyond is the air we breathe and this is why some of our technology makes potential partners and even competition from the more developed markets gape and awe. There's yet more to come here, hopefully. On the factual level this is backed up by our research, our certificates, our lab and, additionally - by cooperation with other labs and Universities across the globe. This is company level. On the industry level the outlook is very inspiring with projected growth of ~175% within the period of less than ten years (source: research by Global Market Insights) - and this infrstructure mostly, with virtually no private or industrial construction taken into account.

In our opinion the growth will be even more significant due to emergence of new technologies which are already on the way in one form or another both for the industry and for the company as well

AS YOU ARE READING THIS PRESENTATION

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES

live in homes where our products used in foundations

THIRTY FOUNDATIONS AND FLOORS

have the concrete being poured over our rebar, mesh and grids

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RUBLES

are saved and by agencies, companies and individuals

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TONS

are stored on floors with reinforcement by CGC

Based on results of a recent global research we see that even moderate outlooks for our products and approach seem to be Very Promising

In short, the results are as follows: average registered and projected annual FRP rebar market growth of ~17.5% is based on infrastructure projects mostly whereas its potential for small and medium segments of private and commercial construction seem to be generally neglected for a number of pragmatic reasons in practically all parts of the world except for ex-Soviet Union's 'sphere of influence' as the biggest example: primarily Russia (with the highest penetration of FRP reinforcement in the mentioned segments), ex-Soviet republics (with less widespread and less intense use of FRP reinforcement in construction), ex-Eastern Bloc and the Balkans (the smallest but quite fast-growing use of composite reinforcement in concrete construction). Extensive practical experience of these territories confirm that the potential of growth for private, commercial and government construction where FRP reinforcement can be used in a number of structural elements in a very cost- and process-efficient manner is close to enormous - to the extent where FRP gradually and steadily substitutes traditional steel. Moreover, in these segments substitution rate is much higher than in infrastructure projects due to the fact that here significant cost-cutting is achieved right at the procurement stage thanks to diameter substitution factor

Our approach is focused on the fastest-growing areas where FRP is cheaper than steel

PRIVATE/COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL

'Zero Cycle' applications

Floors
Some types of foundations
Surrounding areas and underground parkings

This is where you can safely use smaller diameter of FRP reinforcement bar/mesh as substitution of steel (e.g. 8mm FRP instead of 12mm steel) and achieve very significant cost-cutting right at the procurement stage whereas other features like increased life-cycle, increased comfort in transportation and actual work and many other aspects in which FRP is much better than steel basically come as a free bonus.

This is why share of FRP reinforcement only in Russia has grown from 0.01% of all rebar market in 2012 to 2% in 2017 (~twentyfold in just five years) - and keeps growing at a very good tempo.

However, this does not mean that FRP cannot be used in other areas. Choice of reinforcement depends on project's goals and resources, e.g. if you are building an MRI facility you do not really have much choice - these days if you're looking for operation which is free of radio-magnetic interference it's FRP only, and here it's used in all structural elements above the zero cycle without looking back at costs: walls, slabs, beams etc. This is just one example whereas the actual field of use for FRP is incomparably bigger

FRP VS STEEL : GENERAL ADVANTAGES

1. DIAMETER SUBSTITUTION FACTOR

In private, mildly regulated commercial applications and a number of toughly regulated applications properties of FRP enable functionally efficient substitution of bigger diameters of steel by smaller diameters of FRP. This means that you can save quite a lot on procurement only, let alone other aspects which will be described later on. For now please see: a. properties of our best-selling standard item, namely 8 mm GFRP reinforcement bar b. A400C vs GFRP table which is put together based on the tested GFRP parameters and their correspondence to the RF construction standard GOST (which is quite strict). The math is very simple. One ton of 12 mm A-III/A400C steel rebar has 1126 meters in it. Each meter weighs 0.888 kg and a ton costs USD 485. As you may see from the report and the table, 8 mm GFRP efficiently substitutes 12 mm steel on many parameters which are relevant for a number of applications whereas other parameters where GFRP (as opposed to, say, CFRP) is not so brilliant for the same applications are irrelevant e.g. you cannot put smaller diameter of FRP into floor slabs but you can use it as reinforcement for concrete floors. One meter of 8 mm GFRP is USD 0.243 and 1126 meters of 8 mm GFRP is USD 273.618. Equivalent of one ton of 12 mm AC-400 steel rebar costs USD 273.618 and weighs 98 kilograms. Magic. This is why we sell by meters, not by tons: the Client looks for a particular number of meters to do the job, not tons. The Client is happy to get more lightweight, less troublesome, less costly material which does not corrode and does not damage the concrete so that his 'creation' can live for a much longer time

2. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS FACTOR

In specific toughly regulated applications (mostly infrastrucuture and hi-tech projects) properties of FRP (including BFRP, CFRP, AFRP) enable functionality which is out of reach of any existent steel reinforcement. In a certain way this means a monopoly: imagine rebar which does not create electromagnetic interference and does not corrode even in the toughest conditions or does not break concrete when there's major vibrations etc. (See 'Applications') - i.e. here steel does it worse or can't do this at all. This means that a. in these applications the price is usually formed on the basis of FRP's unique qualities b. FRP is used in a much wider range of structural elements (beams, slabs etc) and wider range of types of structures and, finally, c. this is where technology, materials, quality control and reputation of the manufacturer matters the most. This is where the price is higher, parameters and advantages are project-specific and are calculated on a basis of a much longer timeline and much higher goals than regular private and commercial construction

3. LOGISTICS FACTOR

Cost-cutting on this front is directly proportionate to the size of the Client and his logistics; the bigger is the Client and his scopes the bigger is the cost-cutting. E.g. one 20ft container of FRP rebar has an equivalent of up to 190-200 tons of steel rebar* and the Client pays CIF for one container, not ten. Then it's one/two trucks instead of ten to deliver to wherever the product has to be delivered to from the port. Extract loading/unloading time/costs, extract costs of extra machinery like cranes (which is a-must with steel rebar) at all stages of delivery , extract time and nerve cells spent on bigger scope of work with steel - and then you have an idea what FRP brings on this front. Multiply it by ten containers of FRP (equivalent of ~100 containers of steel rebar) and then the idea seems to be getting even better* Data valid for diameter substitution

4. COMFORT FACTOR

Like any other comfort in any other area it is all about saving time and energy. And like any other comfort, it is worth being paid for. Composite reinforcement is lighter than steel and therefore is easier and faster to deal with at all stages:

Procurement
A private buyer in a DYI store puts a coil with 100 meters of 8 mm FRP rebar on his shoulder and carries it to the checkout with virtually no sweat at all and then puts it in a trunk of his SUV. Imagine him doing the same thing with 100 meters of 12 mm steel rebar: twenty 5m-long rods weighing the total of 88 kilograms. The same goes for any other end user in any area of application.

Transportation
A. Smaller vehicles (trunk of an SUV instead of a truck, small truck instead of big truck), smaller number of vehicles, smaller costs and faster transportation*(*See 3) B. Faster loading/unloading C. Less manhours D. No crane at all or smaller crane instead of a bigger crane. E. If we are talking about relatively big construction sites - faster and easier placement around the site i.e. less manhours again.

Actual work
Each composite product is easier and faster to work with than its heavier, clumsier steel predecessor. If it's rebar then you carry it around as if you are on the Moon with virtually no gravitation- it's that lightweight. You do not have to weld it. You cut it with a regular disc grinder if it's bigger diameters, three seconds per one very comfortable cut max. If it's smaller diameters then you can work with scissors or pliers. If it's reinforcement mesh, then, all the same - it's fast and easy at all stages of your construction processes. If it's pre-fabricated grids then the speed of work compared to regular steel rebar increases about sevenfold. With these an office manager can do a bigger job than a small team of professionals with regular steel rebar, tested and guaranteed

5. REPUTATION FACTOR

Every factor above is a direct one, this one is indirect and it's not exactly about cost-cutting. It's more about mid-term and long-term profit-making. Faster, lighter, more lasting, more affordable and more comfortable construction enables stronger and faster inflow of contracts; it improves and enhances the Contractor's reputation, promotes the company to the next level and secures its future position on the market. That's a fact; using FRP instead of steel means getting and staying ahead for many companies across the globe already.

Reputation factor is twice as valid for distributors of FRP (see 'World-of-mouth' section) as it's your company who delivers the Future to your Clients. The good part is that this the Future becomes the Present in quite a fast way and becomes a new standard. One simple proof is steady and fast penetration of FRP reinforcement into small and medium segments of construction market in Russia, the Balkan region (Serbia, for example), ex-Soviet countries in Asia and the Caucases, ex-Eastern Bloc countries in Europe (The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland).

SUMMING UP: FRP reinforcement enables better, stronger, faster and much more affordable construction in many applications. Other applications might not be so affordable (in fact, they can be much more expensive at the procurement stage) - but then, again, economic viability is enevitably reached on a longer timeline due to FRP reinforcement's unique qualities, first of all - due to its anti-corrosiveness and consequent longer life cycle along with major decrease in maintenance and repair which saves huge sums for infrastructure projects like bridges and tunnels

FRP is better than steel in many aspects; for some applications it's superb. We can enhance separate parameters even further or decrease some other parameters in order to provide a custom version which perfectly fits your your project needs, your market demand and your competitive environment. We can also employ certain additives which provide extra qualities like UV-protection for open structures, for example, or nanoparticles to enhance modulus of elasticity. In plain words, tell us what you and your clients need both now and in future, and we will see where our experience and R&D can help. Below you may find features of our standard FRP products.

FRP rebar is 3.5-4 times lighter than steel rebar of equal diameter and 8-10 times lighter than steel of similar strength parameters

FRP is 3 times stronger than steel rebar in terms of tensile strength; 8mm FRP is as strong as 12mm steel

Scientifically confirmed life cycle of concrete structures with FRP reinforecment is 80-100 years. Practically confirmed figure in Russia is fourty plus years.

FRP preserves its strength both in extra-hot and extra-cold climates; operating temperatures range from -70C to +150C

FRP is fireproof to quite a large extent; it has to be over +600°C inside the concrete for rebar/mesh to disintegrate; additional options are available to enhance this parameter

FRP does not corrode and is resistant to alkali, aggressive gases and acids which helps to avoid damage to concrete structures caused by internal stresses due to corrosion of steel rebar. Bridges, car parkings, chemical facilities and other numerous types of structures are much safer now and require much less maintenance and in some cases - virtually no reconstruction at all

FRP does not create electromagnetic interference. Sensitive equipment in hospitals, research institutions, telecoms, military facilities and innovative industrial/commercial facilities operates much better; houses in areas with poor mobile signal coverage - and, generally speaking, any structures at all - are much more mobile-friendly now

FRP products if compared to steel save over 60% in total on procurement, delivery, installation and operations. Much less transportation, machinery and manpower: much less time, much less overall costs; faster construction, more orders, better reputation

Plastic rebar is even more easy and less costly to carry, ship and store now: when the diameter is less than 10 mm, bar is supplied in 100m coils which weigh up to 12 kg and are very compact (135cm in diameter, a dozen centimeters in height). These can be easily transported in a trunk of a sedan or in a minivan instead of a truck or just in a smaller truck if compared to longer rods; even a scooter will do. Same goes for storage: less space, smaller bills, less headache. Perfect both for end clients of DIY stores and major projects alike.

Its thermal-expansion coefficient is similar to that of concrete, so FRP does not destroy concrete at the change of temperature- unlike steel which gradually distorts concrete when operation temperatures change. Basically, FRP rebar 'lives and breathes' together with the concrete and forms the unanimous environment regardless of temperature changes

Easy to install, no special experience or tools are required. FRP rebar is easy to cut, too: bigger diameters are good with regular disc grinder (3 seconds per bar max.), smaller diameters are cut by scissors or pliers

Greener than steel: CO2 emitted during FRP production is ten times smaller than that of steel production

Some markets have it and some markets don't. For the former we can offer competitive prices and in some cases - higher quality at a much better price; for the latter we offer a novelty - and you know better than us what a high-quality affordable novelty means; even more so - if we are talking about national or regional scale. A lot depends on logistics, of course - but, still, even if we deliver the mesh a few thousand kilometers the price will still be lower than that of steel mesh and all other specific qualities are still there, so there should be quite a lot of space for successful marketing maneuvers, especially in applications where steel doesn't work just as good

Reinforced plastic mesh is almost six times lighter than steel mesh: 350 g/m2 vs 2000 g/m2

At the same time, reinforced plastic mesh is three times stronger than steel mesh in terms of tear-out, bending and stretching

Polymeric mesh is non-corrosive and sports the highest degree of protection from high humidity, alkali and salts
Perfect for sea-side and industrial construction

Temperature conductivity is one hundred and thirty times lower than that of steel mesh: 0.46 W/m2 60 W/m2
Warm buildings in cold climates stay warmer, cool buildings in hot climates stay cooler

Polymeric mesh does not conduct electricity and does not get magnetized which is perfect for operation of complex equipment and better mobile signal coverage

Granular surface enables much better adhesion than steel

Low coefficient of elasticity extinguishes vibration without changing the mesh structure which helps a lot in seism oactive regions

Very Green Production: manufacturing process of polymer mesh emitts ten times less CO2 than that of metal mesh

What you see on the photo is new pre-welded reinforcement grid made of rebar of medium diameters. It's very lightweight and extremely easy and fast to use: cut necessary sizes with a regular disc grinder (three very comfortable seconds per one bar), fix in a few spots with wire or plastic clip - and that's it, done. Perfect for big projects.

FLEXIBLE TIES FOR MULTILAYER INSULATION SYSTEMS

This FRP product has been introduced quite recently and is aimed at locations where thermal insulation is of great importance i.e where multi-layer insulation is used in residential, commercial and industrial structures as FRP flexible ties do not conduct neither heat or cold and thus enable enhanced heating efficiency. Theoretically, the same result can be achieved in hot climates for cooling efficiency if multilayer insulation would be used there. The same goes for using composite mesh in brickwork as it does not let the cold/heat inside the building and does not let it out either.

ACCESSORIES

This category of products is auxilary; however, these are necessary for fast, high-quality, comfortable construction. The company provides full range of all necessary fixtures and tools to go with the main range of products. However, many of these can be procured elsewhere or, depending on the region and labor costs they can be replaced with more cost-efficient devices.

TRANSPORTATION

Private/Small-sized commercial

Please take a look at the photo of more or less typical buyer with this category - a Contractor who is buying reinforcement for his Client's house; this particular order is as follows:

a. 400 meters of 8mm rebar / Here it seems necessary to remind that 8mm GFRP is our top bestseller - a functionally efficient substitution of 12mm steel rebar for use in floors, foundations, etc. in what we call 'zero cycle' applications per Russian FRP regulatory standard GOST

b. 15 m2 of mesh with rod diameter of 2.5mm / This is a functionally efficient substitution of steel mesh; this item is used in brickwork mostly as well as in reinforcement of floors and foundations of a lighter type which are not so popular in our climate but are very common in warmer countries

All of this transported in a regular sedan. Just picture transporting 400 meters of 12 mm steel rods and 15 m2 of 4mm steel mesh in a sedan. Much improved transportability - if compared to steel rebar/remesh/grids - is the second best reason for our Clients, regardless of the their size; top reason is price, of course

Mid-/Big-sized commercial/industrial

The container is sent to the Dealer who works with us for nearly five years: most popular diameters in the most demanded by the market quantities and proportions (Wholesail/ Retail) which, in turn, are in accord with the most cost-efficent applications of FRP reinforcement i.e. zero cycle applications with diameter substitution factor being applied

The contents of the container are as follows:

6mm - 23100 meters - 1155kg ~ 14.2 tons of 10mm steel rebar - USD 2772*
8mm - 49150 meters - 3932kg ~ 43.6 tons of 12mm steel rebar - USD 8847*
10mm - 31700 meters - 3804kg ~ 38.3 tons of 14mm steel rebar - USD 8559*
12mm - 4200 meters - 1092kg ~ 6.6 tons of 16mm steel rebar - USD 1764*

~10 tons of FRP rebar in coils in just one container = ~100 tons of steel

*'Winter price' 2017 / During cold months construction in Russia slows down and the company introduces special prices for countries with warmer climates and longer construction season

COMPANY FEATURES

Outstandingly reliable world-of-mouth potential of products by CGC

Whether you are planning an Agency, a Dealership, a Franchise or a JV, this factor should serve you and your Clients well. Each product sells itself more and more over time, and this statement is more than valid for small and medium-sized customers in towns and rural areas where people willingly share knowledge about a worthy novelty. Bigger companies in cities normally do not share that much unless at exhibits and summits but once they do share you may count on another contract in a next few months. Effect of WOM is hardened and then doubled and tripled by impressive habit-forming: having tried FRP reinforcemnt once individuals and companies do not get back to using steel. This is statistics.

INSURANCE

Background of this section is a screenshot from Documentation section at our website. This document in Russian is a corporate insurance contract. It looks like so far we are the only company in Russia which provides official insurance for the product and all liabilites connected with its use. Not a single request yet and still we are renewing the contract with the biggest state-owned insurance corporation RosGosStrakh.The contract's jusidiction is the territory of the Russian Federation but we are ready and willing to consider other contracts in partnership with other companies in other countries and regions so that our Partner's Clients and their Clients would enjoy the same peace of mind when it comes to using the novelty. Basically, this is our answer to 'what if it breaks' question - among other things, of course

Innovative yet traditional packing

We do rebar in rods alright; however, there are new ways which in some cases are 'well-forgotten old ways' as a Russian wisdom says. What you see on the photo is rebar in 50m and 100 m coils which are much more comfortable for any end user whether its a big government project or a private greenhouse as they are compact, lightweight and are very comfortable to carry: you can quite easily put two 100m coils on your shoulders and carry them to your car from a DYI store or to your workspot on a 1km² flooring at a major government construction site. Coils are tightly packed first on top of one another and then one inside another, just like the traditional Russian doll Matryoshka: smaller diameters go inside bigger diameters. Custom-sized Matryoshkas are also used to rationalize free space in 20ft and 40ft containers as rebar in rods leaves lots of free space. The same goes for storage: with Matryoshkas you will need 3X3m storage (1.35X1.35 for one Matryoshka and remaining space for access) to house an equivalent of a railroad container with steel rods. Hence a. smaller storage purchase/rental costs and smaller bills plus there's b.smaller loading/unloading costs as coils require much less manpower and machinery like cranes to work with than steel and even less manpower than regular FRP rods.

Precision

As we all know, Mother Nature does not make unnecesary moves: Its Creation is strictly functional in the first place. The mentioned AK-47 rifle does not have anything unnecessry either and is aimed at functionality in versatile tough environments. Us as a company are in very tough competitive environment too - with hundreds of companies only the national level; geographically we are in maybe a toughest region where steel reinforcement has been for centuries and some of the country's largest and most successful steel plants are located here. We grow though, Darwin-style: adapt or die. One of the keys here is not making unnecessary moves while focusing on doing the job right. For example, running an own R&D enables the kind of precision where the national standard says E-Modulus for FRP reinforcement should be 50GPa or above and we pick the balance in materials and technology and make it 51 and thus save on all fronts - which results in lower prices and optimum qulaity for the Clients

Patents

We could direct time, effort and money into patenting things which, as we believe, already belong to the common knowledge. This way our Patents section would look twice bigger than Certificates and Reports. However, we prefer a pragmatic approach which means directing the mentioned unreplenishable resources into actual R&D, improvement of the management system and, the last but far from being the least - into development of production. At the moment the company is holding only two crispy fresh patents which are our own inventions and for at least some time they will belong exclusively to us before becoming a part of the common knowledge - which we cannot regret even if we wanted to. There's more patents to come in the course of the next few years as per the company course, both as custom project-specific inventions and as our own understanding of market needs as well
