Since its discovery, graphene, a derivative of graphite, has created waves as an advanced material in many sectors such as clothing, energy, biotech, automotive and various other industrial areas. With characteristics more significant than any existing material, graphene offers durability that is 200 times stronger than steel and has high electric and thermal conductivity. The material also has super anti-light absorbent capabilities and flexibility, a mere 3.2gms of the substance can be used to cover an entire football ground. However, the production process is costly and often this factor hampers its adoption by industrial companies.

Enter Standard Graphene, a mass-producer of graphene and its composites. Based in South Korea, the company aims to revolutionize the material industry by being the gold standard in efficient and cost-effective graphene extraction and production. In offering the highest quality products and services to its clients, Standard Graphene constantly invests in R&D of its production technologies and graphene applications. Highly talent oriented, Standard Graphene’s innovation and growth starts with its employees.

With over 9 years of extensive research and development in the fields of Graphene and carbon nano materials, Standard Graphene has built a proprietary technology for high-quality graphene product development and manufacturing. The graphene manufacturer offers its clients a graphene oxide (Go) that is extracted from natural graphite as well as a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) that undergoes strenuous impurity removal.

Standard Graphene offers its GO range of products in three different variants—GO-V50 Solution, G0-V50 and GO-V20—that clients can use based on their industrial requirements. In terms of the rGO products, the company provides the same except for the concentrated solution version. Annually, Standard Graphene produces and distributes 4.4 tons of its graphene oxide and 1.1 tons for the rGO offering.

In the power storage and distribution space, Standard Graphene’s products can be used to develop super-capacitor electrodes, dye-sensitized solar cell electrodes and Li-ion Secondary batteries that offer better life and safety for use in smart devices. The advanced materials can also be used in the composite and coatings industry to make airplane parts and prototypes. As the advanced material offers various grades of transparency, it can be used to make clear glass and domes that are fitted on aerial drones and other such devices. With semiconductor production undergoing a break owing to lesser demands, Graphene can be used to as an alternative to the traditional materials to make resonators, semi-conductors and bistable memory for a much faster market release.

At a recent trade show, Standard Graphene showcased the extra power a little graphene could add to a water filter. Tests conducted on both water filers suggest that the liquid passing through graphene had no bacterial matter or presence. In striving to be an environmentally friendly company, Standard Graphene has tested the product under stringent and harsh conditions and found that it was possible to clean any type of water except for sea water or salt water. Currently, Standard Graphene is in conversation with the Vietnamese and Cambodian governments to deliver this kind of solution to regions within the nations where clean water is very difficult to access. The idea is to implement a source of clean drinking water that is cost-effective and could save the water authorities time and resources.
