Concrete is the core of our construction work. Our graphene concentrate, added at about 1% of the mix, gave concrete a 67% gain in compressive strength in testing, and our graphene-infused concrete showed a 15% improvement in water displacement.
Buildings, bridges and roadways
Higher compressive strength and lower water uptake are both useful in structures that carry heavy loads or are exposed to weather, such as buildings, bridges and roadways. Stronger concrete can give engineers more room in a design, and in some designs it may allow less material to be used. Any change to a mix design or to the amount of concrete must be confirmed by the project engineer with testing on that mix.
How we work with construction companies
We supply the graphene concentrate ready to add, recommend a starting dose, and test with you in your own mix before any change to a design. We work with concrete companies that want to evaluate graphene in their own products.
What we can and can't claim today
Our published concrete results are the 67% compressive strength gain at about a 1% dose and the 15% improvement in water displacement. We don't yet publish data on cost savings, carbon reduction or long-term durability; those depend on each mix and project.
