Graphene in Consumer Goods

Consumer goods are where many people first meet graphene. The consumer products we have helped develop are the four graphene car care products made and sold by ITW under its Rain-X and Black Magic brands. We supply graphene to manufacturers and brands; we do not sell consumer products ourselves.

Read graphene in consumer goods and the ITW case study. Below are the articles and projects in this category. Graphene is sold only pre-dispersed in a carrier, and pricing and samples are by quote: request a quote or samples.

Graphene Manufacturing Made in America

Graphene has remarkable properties in the lab, but it only helps a product when it is evenly mixed into the material. Getting that mixing right is the hard part, and it is what we focus on at Graphene Integrations.

What we do

We make graphene and infuse it into the liquids manufacturers already use: water, solvents, resins and oils. Customers get ready-to-use graphene dispersions, concentrates and additives that fit into their existing processes, instead of a dry powder that is hard to handle and mix.

Graphene in Consumer Goods

Graphene is already in products people buy. In most of them it is a small addition to a material that already works, such as a polymer, coating or fluid, and its job is to improve one or two specific properties.

Graphene products on store shelves

Our first client was ITW, the company behind the Rain-X and Black Magic car care brands. Working with ITW's engineering team, we developed four graphene-enhanced products that reached store shelves: Rain-X Graphene Spray Wax, Rain-X Graphene Exterior Detailer, Black Magic Intense Graphene Quick Detailer and Black Magic Intense Graphene Tire Shine. Read the ITW case study.

Graphene's Use in Construction

Concrete is one of the most promising places to use graphene, because a very small dose can change how the material performs and it fits into existing mixing processes.

What our testing showed

Our graphene concentrate, added to concrete at 5% by weight of cement, gave a 67% gain in compressive strength in independent third-party testing in 2023. Results depend on the mix design, cement, aggregates and curing, so we test with you in your own mix before any change to a design. See graphene in concrete and the concrete additive press release.

Graphene in the Electronics Industry

Graphene's electrical and thermal properties have made it one of the most researched materials in electronics. Electrons move through it very quickly, it conducts heat well, and a single layer is thin, flexible and nearly transparent.

What research has shown

Research labs have built graphene transistors that operate at very high frequencies; in 2010 IBM reported a graphene transistor running at 100 GHz. A major obstacle is that graphene has no natural band gap, so it doesn't switch "off" the way silicon does. Researchers are working on ways around this, such as chemical doping, strain and combining graphene with other materials. Graphene-based processors are not a commercial product today.

Why Graphene Technology, Innovation and Applications?

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal, honeycomb lattice. It was first isolated in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, work that earned them the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. Since then it has become one of the most studied materials in science.

Graphene in Glass Technology

Title
Graphene in Glass Technology

Graphene is being researched for glass because it is thin, nearly transparent, conductive and strong. Most of this work is still in research and development, and we are exploring where our graphene dispersions and coatings could fit.

Graphene as Hunting Gear

Title
Graphene in Hunting and Outdoor Gear

Graphene in Hunting and Outdoor Gear

Hunting and outdoor gear has to stay light, last through rough use and cope with cold, wet weather. Graphene is being researched and used across the outdoor industry as a small addition to fabrics, coatings, rubbers and composites. We supply graphene already dispersed in water, solvents and resins, so gear makers can test it in their own materials.

Graphene in Food Packaging

Title
Graphene in Food Packaging

Graphene in Food Packaging

Graphene is being researched for food packaging because a well-dispersed graphene layer can slow the passage of oxygen and moisture, two of the main causes of food spoilage. We supply graphene already dispersed in water, solvents and resins for packaging developers who want to test it in films and coatings.

Graphene in Energy Storage

Title
Graphene in Energy Storage

Graphene is one of the most researched materials for batteries and supercapacitors. We supply graphene already dispersed in water, solvents and resins, so battery and capacitor developers can test it in their own electrode formulations.

Graphene in Construction

Title
Graphene in Construction

Concrete is the core of our construction work. Our graphene concentrate, added at 5% by weight of cement, gave concrete a 67% gain in compressive strength in independent third-party testing in 2023, and concrete with 5% graphene increased water resistance by 25%.
