 (New Orleans, La., U.S.) introduces two novel, cost-effective and scalable, powdered graphene products for the composites industry. The products were developed to assist composites manufacturers, molders and solution providers to position new families of TMTP’s advanced products in industry.

TMTP-2430 is a high-purity, intact lattice, two-to-four-layer graphene powder with 30 µm flake sizes. It can be used in either functionalized or nonfunctionalized form depending on the customer’s product chemistry and manufacturing process needs. Typical uses are with epoxy resins, aerospace resins, carbon fiber, fiberglass composites and more. Typical loading percentages are 1% by final weight. Customer benefits may include improved tensile strength, impact strength, tensile modulus, durability, product life, thermal characteristics, conductivity, reduced weight and permeability, improved bacteriostatic performance and more. 

TMTP-3550 is a high-purity, intact lattice, three-to-five-layer graphene powder with 50 µm flake sizes. Similarly to TMTP-2430, it can be used in a functionalized or nonfunctionalized form. Its typical uses are with cementitious materials and various forms of specialty cementitious blends.   Typical loading percentages are 0.01-0.1% by dry weight. Customer benefits may include improved compression strength, flexural strength, durability, product life, conductivity, bacteriostatic performance and reduced permeability.

TMTP employs in-house and university-based advanced materials laboratories to provide integration and testing support for customer applications. The company also deploys application engineers to customer labs to support their own integration and validation of TMTP graphene in their proprietary formulations and processes.

Manufacturers of adhesives, coatings, elastomers, epoxies, fibers, paint, polymers, resins and nitrile rubber may find significant benefits through the adoption of TMTP graphene. End markets that may benefit include aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, marine, military, oil and gas, transportation, warehousing and others.
