Technology & Products
Key Products
Fractal Graphene (FGA-1); Reactive Graphene; Fractal Graphene Paste; NANOMYTE FGA-1AD and FGA-1ND graphene dispersions (with NEI Corporation); graphene-enhanced battery materials; graphene-enhanced supercapacitors
Technological Advantage
Proprietary Hyperion detonation synthesis technology (licensed exclusively from Kansas State University, patent filed 2016) produces graphene at 99.8% purity vs. industry-standard 50% or less; compact modular reactor design requires ~$150K capex per unit producing 10+ MT/year; produces no waste and uses low energy; certified by Advanced Carbons Council as Verified Graphene Producer
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Produces the world's purest graphene (99.8% carbon content) through a proprietary, patented detonation synthesis process that is modular, scalable, low-energy, and produces zero waste — enabling consistent, high-quality graphene at industrial scale.
How They Differentiate
Only graphene producer in the Americas certified by the Advanced Carbons Council as a Verified Graphene Producer; patented explosion synthesis process yields 99.8% pure graphene vs. competitors typically producing <50% graphene content; modular reactor design enables decentralized production; reactive graphene shell enables chemical bonding with host materials — a unique differentiator vs. conventional graphene additives
