We’ve been busy behind the scenes… testing #graphene where it really matters: inside everyday materials.
Over the last quarter, our team has been working with customers in construction and elastomers to trial our synthetic graphene powder in two high-impact composites:
Concrete
By adding tiny % levels of graphene (70grams per tonne of concrete), we’re seeing:
- Higher compressive strength
- Lower cement demand per m³
- Lower cement = lower CO₂ footprint per project.
Tyres & Rubber
Graphene isn’t just filler, it modifies how rubber chains slide and recover.
Benefits our customers are exploring:
- Lower rolling resistance = energy savings
- Better wear resistance and tear strength = longer life
- Improved wet grip via enhanced viscoelastic behaviour
Minor additions of graphene (<0.1–1.0%) can change how materials behave, enabling stronger, lighter, more durable products.
If your company is evaluating sustainability initiatives, meeting performance targets, or seeking supply cost reductions through composite enhancements, we’re ready to collaborate!
