MERRIMACK — Huntsman Corp. of Texas announced this week that it has acquired Merrimack based Nanocomp Technologies.

Although the financial details of the acquisition were not released, both companies say they are pleased with the new development.

Nanocomp Technologies was founded in 2004 and is known for its Miralon products made from pure carbon nanotube materials that have a variety of uses. Two years ago the company’s carbon nanotubes were on board NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter, a solar-powered spacecraft that broke the record for traveling the farthest from the sun.
