Pristine graphene producer (Vancouver, Canada) has formed a technical collaboration with what it claims is one of the world’s largest synthetic fiber manufacturers. The initiative aims to assess the potential of HydroGraph’s graphene technology in high-performance applications within the global textile and technical fiber market and is a significant step forward with one of the largest customers within HydroGraph’s growing pipeline.
The development program will systematically evaluate the impact of HydroGraph’s graphene on critical fiber performance attributes, including mechanical durability and energy absorption capabilities. These enhancements align with HydroGraph’s broader strategic focus on advanced material solutions that enable lightweighting and downgaging of components, building upon the company’s success in similar applications across diverse industries.

“Partnering with a synthetic fiber manufacturer provides an opportunity to demonstrate our graphene’s ability to support material properties,” says Kjirstin Breure, president and CEO of HydroGraph.
The initiative will leverage multiple graphene variants from HydroGraph’s portfolio, emphasizing the company’s ability to provide both standardized and custom-engineered material solutions for industrial-scale applications. The structured project is expected to conclude by the end of Q2 2025. Based on previous results, HydroGraph expects positive outcomes from the technical trial and anticipates a pilot scale-up following the completion of the trial, which the company expects to convert into a long-term supply agreement.
