Graphmatech makes patented advanced materials including graphene at industrial scale and attractive prices.

The materials have a wide range of applications including defence (stealth, conductivity, strength, and low weight), low-friction materials (replacing harmful PFAS materials), and packaging/storage (better barriers in e.g., medical pouches, electronics packaging, and hydrogen storage).
