Slide 3
Boosting Composites Strength

Enhance the strength of polymer composites, especially
matrix-dominated properties, and elevate your materials to new levels of performance and durability with our cutting-edge formulated graphene additive.

Available in concentrated masterbatch form, it can be easily integrated into existing production processes, from vacuum infusion to filament winding. ProTough+™ is also available in thermoplastic pellets.

In carbon fibre reinforced polymers,
36% higher hoop strength in filament-wound structures
47% higher compressive strength in laminates
In thermoplastics,
26% higher flexural modulus
15% higher flexural strength

We remain steadfast in our commitment of advancing tomorrow’s materials responsibly towards a sustainable future. At Advanced Material, our raw graphene is sourced by leveraging on our patented Coke-to-Graphene technology, that converts petroleum coke – carbon rich waste byproduct of oil refining activities into valuable graphene.

With this technology, our approach to producing this material of the future brings several environmental benefits:

Waste To Value

By turning waste product into value, we can produce graphene at lower cost than graphite mining or other regular graphene production.

High Quality

Conventional processes produce high-layered graphene, making it primarily graphite. Our process can produce few-layered graphene (FLG) at commercial scale.

Energy Efficient

Our proprietary coke-to-graphene process uses 70% less energy than regular graphitization processes.

Environmentally Friendly

Our process uses waste as feedstock and runs on grid power with no greenhouse emissions.
