Graphene Integrations is a US graphene manufacturer in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 2015, we make graphene in the USA and supply it pre-mixed in water, solvents, resins or oils as ready-to-use dispersions and additives for concrete, lubricants, coatings, polymer composites and data center coolants. Graphene is sold only pre-mixed in a carrier, never as powder, and pricing is by quote.
A North Carolina graphene manufacturer
If you are looking for a graphene manufacturer in North Carolina, or a US supplier you can work with from sample to production, that is our role. We are based in Charlotte, NC. The company is led by CEO Frans Alkemade and has 10 employees. Our sister company, Nano Technology Chemicals (NTC), is a US chemical distributor, also in the Charlotte, NC area.
We do not sell dry graphene flake or powder. The material is integrated into a carrier the manufacturer already uses, so it can be added to an existing process. Typical additive doses are 1% to 7% by weight, depending on the job; more is not automatically better. Concrete is specified at 5% by weight of cement. See how we make graphene and our graphene products.
What we make in North Carolina
- Graphene concrete additive (NanoTechCrete): a water-compatible concentrate dosed at 5% by weight of cement. In independent third-party testing in 2023 it gave a 67.7% gain in compressive strength. Results depend on the cement, aggregates, water-cement ratio and curing.
- Graphene lubricant additive: graphene integrated into a carrier for oils and greases. Independent testing at Univar's Houston lab reported up to 42% smaller four-ball wear-scar diameter and 26% higher weld load versus the untreated lubricant.
- ThermaGraph™ data center coolants: ThermaGraph™ for closed-loop water cooling and ThermaGraph-D™ for single-phase immersion. ThermaGraph™ showed 6–18% better heat transfer versus glycol in internal testing results.
- Graphene dispersions and additives for coatings and polymer composites, including work with Advanced Armor Research Group (AARG) and four graphene car care products developed with ITW for the Black Magic and Rain-X brands.
How to work with a US graphene manufacturer
- Tell us about your material, what you want to improve, and the volumes you work at.
- We help you pick a dispersion, concentrate or additive and a starting dose, and quote R&D samples. Pricing is quote-only.
- Test in your own formulation or mix. We work with your engineers to adjust before scale-up.
- Scale to pre-production batches and production orders.
