Graphene can be mixed with plastics, lending its incredible strength to the plastic matrix and making the combined plastic material much stronger.
Key Points:
- Graphene can be mixed with plastics, lending its incredible strength to the plastic matrix and making the combined plastic material much stronger.
- Gerdau Graphene is developing graphene additives for virgin resins as well as post-industrial and post-consumer recycled plastics and polymers, including PP, PE, polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), PVC, and more.
- We are now addressing all of these goals," said Alexandre Corra, CEO of Gerdau Graphene.
- Launched in 2021 by Gerdau, the largest producer of long steel in the Americas, through its Gerdau Next program, Gerdau Graphene enables businesses to harness the revolutionary properties of graphene to deliver industry-leading products.
