Graphene in Healthcare

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 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.

Graphene is being researched for healthcare because of its conductivity, its large surface area and how easily its surface can be modified. Most healthcare uses are still in research or early development, and medical products need regulatory approval before use.
