🌍 Based near Lyon, France, Mathym®, founded in 2013, is specialized in innovative inorganic nanodispersions. Leveraging Baikowski’s global network , Mathym® delivers worldwide industrial-scale nanomaterials with regional support across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC for ceramics, optics & photonics (ophthalmic), semiconductors, energy, and dental applications.

What is Mathym® link with Baikowski®?

Since September 2019, Mathym is part of Baikowski® and bolsters its Portfolio with Nanoparticle Products.

What makes Mathym® nanodispersions unique?

Mathym® develops ultra-small nanoparticles (2–50 nm) that are:Mathym nano-dispersions

  • Highly crystallized and stable
  • Agglomerate-free, ensuring transparency and homogeneity
  • Dispersible in a wide range of solvents (water, acetone, resins, ethanol, propylene glycol…)
  • Scalable at industrial level, with concentrations up to 80 wt.%
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified for design, development, manufacturing, and commercialization

This ensures superior transmittance, low viscosity even at high solid content, and reproducibility for high-tech markets.

What industries and applications benefit from Mathym’s nanomaterials?

Mathym® nanodispersions serve cutting-edge industries such as:
Mathym's products applications

    • Fine ceramics & refractories (low sintering temperature, mechanical strength)
    • Optics & photonics (ophthalmic coatings, displays, XR/AR, LED)
    • Semiconductors & electronics (advanced coatings, sintering aids)
    • Solid-state lighting & energy (ceramic membranes, SOFC)
    • Biomedical & dental (radiopacifiers, composites, orthopedic materials)
    • Catalysis & environmental applications
    • 2D/3D printing & adhesives

The different inorganic parts that have been developped since inception convey sought critical properties (e.g. radiopacity, refractive index enhancement, wear resistance, highly-active catalysts) while their nanosized structures preserve a very high level of transparency and increase their activity when high specific surface areas are at stake.

What are Mathym® flagship products?

Mathym® currently offers two branded nanomaterials:

✅ zilight® (ZrO₂ nano-zirconia)

  • Tunable refractive index (up to 2.14 for bare nanoparticles)
  • Maintains high transparency in ophthalmic coatings, displays, XR devices, and LEDs
  • Enables low-temperature sintering and strong optical performance

✅ filyxio® (YbF₃ nano-ytterbium fluoride)

  • The smallest YbF₃ nanoparticle on the market (~20 nm)
  • Industry reference radiopacifier for dental composites
  • Ensures deep curing, excellent aesthetics, translucency, and improved mechanical properties .

Both are manufactured on Mathym’s industrial production line and supplied in application-specific dispersion media.
