Specification by Design

Industrial manufacturers need materials that perform better while improving profitability and sustainability metrics. Our vertically integrated approach combines formulation and manufacturing, using our patented exfoliation technology to produce specification-controlled nanomaterials with the consistency, cost and scale industry requires.

Where nanomaterials have traditionally remained at lab scale, ours are engineered from day one for industrial production and real-world manufacturing.

Product 01

Stronger Concrete. Higher Returns

Our first product is a water-based graphene additive that integrates directly into standard concrete production: no new equipment and no new process. With 35 grams of our nanomaterial per 2.3 tonnes of concrete, we can deliver a measurable step change in performance.

Built to Scale

Construction is underway on our first industrial-scale production facility at Grapht Works, London. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, the facility will have the capacity to produce more than 1,500 tonnes of nanomaterials per year, enough for over 1 million tonnes of concrete.

The properties that make our nanomaterials valuable in concrete extend across energy, biomedical applications and beyond. We’re already working with 70+ industrial partners to bring advanced nanomaterials into new products and applications.
