Specialty polymers
Graphene oxide for specialty polymers
Allkemie adjusts functionalization, particle size and dispersion medium to each application. There is no off-the-shelf grade.
| Matrix | Property | Result | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polypropylene | Tensile strength | +128% | — |
| Nylon | Tensile strength | +77% | — |
| Cement | Compressive strength | +24% | — |
Formulated for each application
Functionalization, particle size and dispersion medium decide what graphene oxide does inside a given matrix. Allkemie adjusts all three for each application.
Customers get a formulation built for their matrix, backed by a production process Allkemie controls.
How the results were measured
The figures above were measured in the matrices named, against the same resin without the additive. Treat them as starting points for an evaluation. The right formulation depends on your process.
Capability beyond mechanical reinforcement
GO can enable CBRN capabilities to everyday polymers. That includes anti-bio and anti-chemical functionality.
Characterization
The material is characterized by Raman spectroscopy, which is publishable and available to customers under evaluation. Further surface characterization is in progress and is not published until verified.
Batch-to-batch consistency
Every batch carries a quality record that documents dispersion, the property that decides whether an additive works on a production line.
Production capacity
Evaluation samples are produced in the lab. Scale-up runs alongside the diesel line, so a formulation that works on a bench can move to production.
Questions
Do you sell an off-the-shelf grade?
No. Functionalization, particle size and dispersion medium are adjusted per matrix. We sell the formulation capability.
How do we start an evaluation?
Send us the matrix, the process window and the property you need to move. We respond with a proposed formulation and a sample plan.
Is batch-to-batch consistency documented?
Yes. Consistency is part of the quality record for every batch.
