Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. is a specialty materials technology company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company is publicly traded on the OTCMKTS exchange under the ticker symbol SIXWF. Sixth Wave Innovations develops and commercializes proprietary chemical separation and sensing technologies designed to extract and recover critical metals and rare earth elements from complex solutions, such as brines, industrial effluents and mining process waters.
The company’s core technology platform, known as TUFF™ (Tunable Universal Functionalized Framework), consists of customizable molecularly imprinted polymers that exhibit high selectivity and capacity for target metals. By tailoring the polymer’s recognition sites, Sixth Wave Innovations can capture lithium, cobalt, nickel, uranium and other valuable elements with reduced chemical consumption and simplified processing. This approach offers mining, energy and environmental sectors a lower-cost, more sustainable alternative to conventional solvent-extraction and ion-exchange methods.
Sixth Wave Innovations focuses its business development efforts on collaboration and licensing arrangements with resource producers, desalination operators and industrial water users. The company’s technology has been trialed in North and South America, with the goal of scaling up to commercial operations in lithium-rich brine projects and legacy mine-site remediation sites. Sixth Wave Innovations also explores applications in rare earth elements recovery, battery recycling and wastewater treatment.
Led by a management team with expertise in chemical engineering, materials science and resource development, Sixth Wave Innovations maintains partnerships with research institutions and engineering firms to advance its process designs and field pilot programs. By leveraging its proprietary TUFF™ materials and in-house testing capabilities, the company aims to position itself at the forefront of rapidly growing markets for critical metals and clean-tech water solutions.
