Numat Technologies is an advanced materials company that computationally designs and synthesizes nanoporous materials for gas storage and separation applications. It is a market leader in Metal-Organic Frameworks (”MOFs”), a transformative precision chemistry platform. MOFs can be designed, atom-by-atom, to capture and separate target hazardous chemicals in ways limited by traditional methods.

Through their integrated platform, they design, scale and deliver powerful solutions into their customers’ products and processes, reducing the negative impact of chemical products and processes on human health and the environment.
