Commercial Scale Graphene Sales Activities Get EPA Clearance

HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. has announced that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has in principle approved the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, and disposal in the United States of its Fractal Graphene. The carbon-based product, engineered for performance at ultra-low loadings significantly improves tensile strength, modulus, and toughness in plastic composites, enhancing mechanical performance by 20% to 70% while maintaining processability compared to conventional reinforcing fillers.

Key market certification

HydroGraph also announced it had successfully secured UK REACH and EU REACH registrations. “Securing regulatory clearances in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union represents three key milestones for HydroGraph that meaningfully expand our commercial markets,” said Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph. “With US EPA authorization and both UK and EU REACH registrations now in place, we can pursue expanded revenue-generating agreements and support customer scale-up for Fractal Graphene applications across North America and Europe.”

Application development

HydroGraph maintains a growing presence in the United Kingdom through its Manchester-based technical team and its collaboration with the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC). The Company continues to conduct application development and validation work in partnership with UK manufacturers across polymer, composite, and advanced materials sectors.The UK market also represents the initial participation base for HydroGraph’s Compounding Partner Program, which establishes a qualified network of compounders capable of processing Fractal Graphene into commercial thermoplastic formulations. With regulatory registration confirmed, these partners and associated customers are positioned to progress development programs toward expanded commercial volumes.

Lightweighting initiatives

HydroGraph is currently engaged in multiple ongoing commercial development initiatives with UK customers focused on lightweighting, mechanical enhancement, and functional performance improvements in polymer systems. The UK REACH registration enables these projects to advance under a fully compliant regulatory framework.

The addition of EU REACH registration further enables HydroGraph to advance similar commercial development initiatives with European customers seeking graphene-enhanced performance solutions in polymers, composites, coatings, energy storage, and advanced materials applications.
