Case Studies
Incorporating Graphene Oxide (GO) in concrete composite has been a good alternative to Pristine Graphene due to its hydrophilic nature and its ability to readily disperse in water the consequent cementitious mix. The addition of GO to the cementitious mix has been found to enhance mechanical properties. High strength and smart concrete is reinforced with graphene.
Concrete
Graphene additives from First Graphene have been shown to increase the strength of cement mortar significantly, enabling the construction of lighter and more environmentally friendly buildings and civil engineering structures.
ThermoPlastic
BKC can compound graphene with many thermoplastic polymers including the PE, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PET, PA6, PA66, TPE’s and PVC. We also encourage our prospective customers to bring their own materials and discuss on new projects as per their requirements.
Graphene oxides
BKC Graphene specializes in several grades of graphene oxides with varying thickness, lateral dimension and functionalization.
BKC helps companies engineer graphene applications solutions with distinct material performance advantages. We can provide custom dispersions tailored to a variety of applications. With a worldwide collaborative partnership, BKC Graphene is a pioneer in distributing graphene to industry specific materials through its wide network of supply chain.
Asphalt
Graphene Oxide with Asphalt reduces the aging of asphalt and enhances the mechanical and physicalproperties at both low and high temperatures.
An addition of 0.5% of graphene to asphalt can dramatically increase its performance and lower its impact to the environment.
Graphene in asphalt makes it more sustainable, meaning there is more time between those construction phases on the road.
The use of graphene in small amounts to build highways could have the effect of reducing them by between 25 and 33%. Just a tiny amount of graphene leads to using a third of the asphalt to complete a project.
It also saves on transporting it to a site, installing, curing and
maintaining it. Graphene-infused asphalt has an increased water resistance. And it has the same strength of traditional asphalt while using a third of the material.
The Wave
The introduction of graphene suspensions into the concrete mix allows to increase the concrete strength by almost two - by 150% compressive strength and bending strength by 80%. In this case, the heat capacity of concrete material increases by 90%, and water permeability drops by 400%. At the same time, the service life of concrete products is increased and the mass fraction of cement in concrete production is reduced, which reduces the environmental load on the environment.
