Continuous High-Temperature
Reactors, Reinvented

Hexoris is developing a compact, continuous high-temperature reactor platform targeting substantially lower energy consumption and reduced capital requirements compared to conventional batch processing — starting with battery-grade synthetic graphite.

Target Markets

One Platform, Multiple Markets

The same fundamental problem — energy-intensive, capital-intensive batch high-temperature processing — exists across a wide range of advanced materials. The Hexoris platform is being designed with this breadth in mind.

Synthetic Graphite

Battery-grade synthetic graphite for EV battery anodes is our first commercial target. Conventional graphitization is among the most energy- and capital-intensive steps in the battery materials supply chain.

Primary Focus

Silicon Carbide (SiC)

SiC is a critical material for power electronics, EV inverters, and semiconductor applications. Current production relies on the Acheson batch furnace process — a century-old approach with significant energy and capital intensity.

Target Market

Boron Carbide (B₄C)

One of the hardest and lightest materials known, B₄C is a critical defence material — used in ceramic body armour plates (SAPI/ESAPI), vehicle and aircraft armour, and nuclear reactor control systems. It is produced in energy-intensive electric arc batch furnaces, with no commercially viable continuous alternative currently available.

Target Market

Zirconium Carbide (ZrC)

ZrC is a high-value refractory material with critical defence and strategic applications — including nuclear fuel cladding for advanced reactors, hypersonic vehicle thermal protection, and rocket propulsion components. It is synthesized via batch high-temperature reduction processes with substantial energy and capital costs.

Target Market

Natural Graphite Purification

High-purity natural graphite for battery and industrial use typically requires batch thermal or chemical purification at high temperatures — a process that shares the same fundamental inefficiencies the Hexoris platform is designed to address.

Target Market

Biomass-Derived Graphite

A long-term pathway to process biomass-derived carbon precursors is being developed, enabling a lower-carbon feedstock option across the synthetic graphite and specialty carbon value chain.

Future Exploration
Intellectual Property

Protecting What We're Building

Hexoris is pursuing an IP licensing business model. A provisional patent covering core aspects of the continuous high-temperature reactor platform is currently being filed. Our advisors include experts with decades of combined experience in IP strategy, tech transfer, and commercialization.

Chemistry Validation

Bench prototype built. Samples undergoing independent third-party testing at a leading battery materials lab.

Continuous Design (Current)

Designing, testing, and filing the core IP for the continuous reactor, which will be scaled to market.

Scale-Up & Licensing

Scaling towards industrial demonstration and establishing IP licensing agreements with advanced materials producers across target markets.

Comparison

Hexoris vs. Conventional Batch Processing

Hexoris Platform
  • Continuous flow — no batch reload cycles
  • Compact thermal zone — designed to minimise waste heat losses
  • Simpler reactor design — fewer components, targeting lower capital cost
  • Designed for a smaller physical footprint, targeting reduced capital requirements
  • Continuous feed eliminates large batch loading operations
VS
Conventional Technology
  • Large batch furnaces with long cycle times
  • Resistance heating — lower operating temperatures
  • Significant heat loss over long heating cycles
  • High electricity consumption per tonne of output
  • Large physical installations with high capital costs
  • Large infrastructure requirements raise barriers to entry and rapid scale-up
  • Robotic or manual batch loading required
