smarter cabin heating

Today, cabin heating of electric vehicles uses battery power to heat up and circulate air in the whole cabin, a wasteful and energy-intensive approach.

Designed to fit every surface, the qCella heating mat is paper-thin, light, flexible and can be customized post-fabrication into virtually any shape or size. 

Unlike conventional surface radiation heating elements, the qCella heating mats are produced using the inherently scalable, cost-efficient processes of paper manufacturing.


Beyond heating in mobility

Interested in heating your filter papers for adsorption-desorption applications? Or tired of maintenance-heavy hot water-based heating in food processing?


Further use cases

For specialty paper manufacturers: our copper-cellulose fiber innovations are directly applicable to existing paper manufacturing processes. 

For polymer compound manufacturers: our copper-cellulose innovations can be used as electrically conductive additives (e.g. electromagnetic shielding applications).
