PyroGenesis Announces Second Titanium Powder Order Under Supply Agreement
MONTREAL – PyroGenesis Inc., a leader in ultra-high temperature processes and plasma-based technology solutions for heavy industry and defense sectors, has announced the receipt of a second titanium powder order from a U.S. minerals and metal technology company. This latest contract involves the delivery of one tonne of titanium powder, produced using PyroGenesis' proprietary NexGen™ plasma atomization system.
Contract Details and Delivery Timeline
The order represents the second transaction under the powder supply agreement originally signed in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to company statements, the titanium powder will be delivered to the client within the coming days. This follows an initial order for 3.5 tonnes of titanium powder that was announced previously.
The titanium powder in question is classified as "off-cut" material – powders produced during the plasma atomization process that fall outside the particle size ranges typically used by current commercial metal 3D printers. Despite being non-prime material, these off-cuts maintain consistent chemical properties and characteristics suitable for industrial reprocessing applications.
Strategic Significance and Market Validation
This second order carries substantial strategic importance for PyroGenesis and the broader critical minerals supply chain. The titanium powder serves as essential feedstock for developing titanium alloys required by multiple advanced industries, including:
- Space exploration and aerospace manufacturing
- Defense and military applications
- Medical device production
- Consumer electronics manufacturing
- Hydrogen technology development
- Electric vehicle components
- Additive manufacturing processes
P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, emphasized the significance of this development: "The receipt of a second recurring order under this contract further validates the market opportunity for our titanium off-cut powder. Reintroducing our stockpiles of this high-value titanium into the supply chain reduces waste and helps to safeguard critical mineral supply."
Sustainability and Economic Benefits
The establishment of a commercial market for off-cut titanium powder represents a significant advancement in sustainable manufacturing practices. By finding commercial applications for material that would otherwise remain in inventory, PyroGenesis enhances both the environmental and economic efficiency of its production processes.
"The establishment of a market for off-cut material, in addition to our fine and course cut titanium powders, increases the effectiveness and profitability of each production run from our NexGen™ reactor and increases the overall sustainability of the process," Pascali added.
This development supports the protection of critical mineral supply chains while utilizing a novel, closed-loop manufacturing approach that minimizes waste and maximizes resource utilization.
Background and Industry Context
PyroGenesis has been strategically stockpiling off-cut titanium powders in anticipation of evolving market demand. The company's foresight appears justified as the additive manufacturing industry continues to develop and expand its capabilities. The inherent high quality of PyroGenesis' plasma-atomized metal powder, combined with industry evolution, has created commercial opportunities for materials previously considered secondary.
The U.S. client utilizes patented technologies to produce high-performance alloys from titanium and other critical minerals essential for advanced American industries. The recurring nature of the supply agreement suggests ongoing demand for PyroGenesis' specialized titanium powders as industrial applications continue to diversify and expand.
