Case study
ITW: graphene car care for Black Magic and Rain-X
Our first client was ITW, the company behind the Black Magic and Rain-X car care brands. Working with ITW's engineering team, we developed four graphene-enhanced car care products, two for Black Magic and two for Rain-X, that made it to store shelves.

- Black Magic Intense Graphene Tire Shine
- Rain-X Graphene Spray Wax
- Rain-X Graphene Exterior Detailer
Featured product line
ThermaGraph™ graphene coolants for data center cooling
ThermaGraph™ is a graphene nanofluid in deionized water for indoor closed-loop liquid cooling. ThermaGraph-D™ is graphene in white mineral oil for single-phase immersion cooling. Patent pending. Made in USA.
+6% to +18% higher convective heat transfer coefficient for ThermaGraph™ (the water-loop coolant) vs a glycol baseline, in internal pumped-loop lab tests. Lab data, not field data.
How to work with us
Graphene only helps when it is well mixed into a material. We deliver it already dispersed and work with your team from first sample to production.
- Tell us about your materialWhat you make, what you want to improve, and the volumes you work at.
- Choose a graphene productWe help you pick a dispersion, concentrate or additive and a starting dose, and send R&D samples.
- Test and refine togetherWe work with your engineers and formulators to test it in your material and adjust before scale-up.
- Scale upPre-production batches, high-volume orders and just-in-time delivery options.
What is graphene?
A single layer of carbon atoms
Graphene is a sheet of carbon just one atom thick, arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It was first isolated in 2004, and that work won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. Graphene is remarkably strong for its weight and conducts heat and electricity exceptionally well.
Those properties are why manufacturers add small amounts of graphene to everyday materials. The catch is getting it to mix evenly, and that is the problem we solve. Watch: what graphene actually is.
Industries we serve
Graphene works best as a small addition to a material that is already proven. Read more about graphene in each industry.
Frequently asked questions
What does Graphene Integrations make?
Graphene Integrations is a US graphene manufacturer. We make graphene and infuse it into water, solvents, resins and oils, producing graphene dispersions, concentrates and additives for concrete, coatings, lubricants, polymers and composites, coolants and more.
Where is Graphene Integrations based?
We are based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our operation, from research and development to production, is in the USA. The company was formerly called Graphene America.
How much graphene additive goes into concrete?
Our graphene concrete additive is dosed at about 1% of the mix. In testing it gave a 67% gain in compressive strength. Results depend on the mix, so we test with you before any change to a mix design.
What results has graphene shown in lubricants?
In independent testing at Univar's Houston lab, our graphene-integrated lubricant formulation reduced wear by up to 42% and raised weld load by 26%.
What is ThermaGraph?
ThermaGraph is our line of graphene coolants for data centers. ThermaGraph is a graphene nanofluid in deionized water for closed-loop liquid cooling, and ThermaGraph-D is graphene in white mineral oil for single-phase immersion cooling.
How do I get graphene samples?
Contact us with your material, goals and volumes, and we will recommend a product to test, starting with R&D samples. Call 704-659-3682 or email frans@grapheneintegrations.com.
