Rubber

This tag collects our content on graphene and rubber. We do not currently publish rubber or tire compounding results, and we make no performance claims here. What we have done in the tire area is car care: with ITW we developed Black Magic Intense Graphene Tire Shine, a tire shine product made and sold by ITW.

Read the ITW case study and learn how graphene dispersions are made for water, solvent, resin and oil carriers if you want to test graphene in your own rubber or elastomer product. Below are all items tagged Rubber. Graphene is sold only pre-dispersed in a carrier, and pricing and samples are by quote: request a quote or samples.

Assess the whole rubber compound under cyclic duty

A graphene rubber additive is evaluated within the existing filler, elastomer and cure system. Published graphene-oxide/natural-rubber fatigue work illustrates why dispersion and cyclic behavior matter; graphene oxide is a different material and its results are not GI rubber performance data.

Longer replacement intervals or lower operating losses are opportunities to test, not automatic outcomes. Build the resource comparison from measured part life, scrap, processing energy and any operating-energy change, with additive/carrier production and disposal included. A bench property does not directly establish tire fuel savings or a product-specific CO₂ reduction.

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.

Made in the USA

Our operation, from research and development to production, is in the USA, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Keeping it in one place lets us control quality from the graphene to the finished dispersion, and work closely with US manufacturers on samples, testing and scale-up.

Graphene in the Military

Defense applications need materials that are strong and light, and that hold up in harsh conditions. Graphene is studied as an addition to the polymers, fibers and composites used in protective gear, vehicles and equipment.
