Technology & Products
Key Products
Graphene-enhanced cement admixtures (Cementene™) for 3D concrete printing, medical thermal management solutions.
Technological Advantage
Holds over 130 patents covering graphene manufacture and use; proprietary 3DCP process with graphene additive reduces material use by 30% and enables complex, reinforcement-free designs, validated in projects with Costain and Balfour Beatty.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces construction costs and carbon footprint by enabling steel-free, curved concrete structures printed on-site with graphene-enhanced cement, cutting material use by up to 30% and lead times from months to days for projects like highway headwalls and lifestyle pods.
How They Differentiate
Focus on graphene-enhanced cement for 3D concrete printing vs. competitors' broader graphene materials; proprietary Cementene™ enables steel-free, curved structures with 30% material reduction, unlike standard graphene additives for composites or coatings.
