AROS MB™ HDPE – IM, the new polymer-graphene composite for injection moulding from Graphmatech

| PRESS RELEASE -
SHARE

AROS MB™ HDPE – IM from Graphmatech is the latest addition to the family of graphene-enhanced polymers from Graphmatech. AROS MB HDPE is a masterbatch (i.e. ready-to-use granular mix) enhanced by our own unique Aros Graphene® Technology formula, tailored for injection moulding (IM). Now available.


The new masterbatch is part of the AROS MB product range that embodies Graphmatech’s expertise in Polymer Graphene Composites. The masterbatch can be used for testing and application evaluation in parts requiring enhanced gas barrier or electrical properties while keeping mechanical and other properties intact.


AROS MB HDPE is highly compatible with most standard high-density polyethylene (HDPE) grades available off-the-shelf and can serve as a perfect substitute for common carbon black masterbatches as it will retain the colour black while increasing the final properties of the part at a much lower concentration.

AROS MB HDPE for injection moulding is already available to order through the Graphmatech online store, supplied in bags of 1 kg and 5 kg. Contact Graphmatech to order larger quantities.


AROS MB HDPE suitable for extrusion is currently under development, set to hit the market in the first half of 2022.

Solid progress in hydrogen infrastructure certification 

Uppsala, Sweden — Hydrogen is an important part of the transition to a more sustainable future. However, it presents engineering challenges since the gas easily escapes from pipes and storage vessels. Hydrogen is not only expensive, but it also has an eleven times greater global warming potential (GWP) than carbon dioxide. It’s imperative for both

Blowmoulded graphene-enhanced liners now a reality for the hydrogen industry!

Uppsala, Sweden — Graphmatech AB, a leading company in the development of graphene-enhanced polymers, is proud to announce its collaboration with ST Blowmoulding to achieve the first successful blow moulding production of graphene-carrying HDPE liners on their ASPI 200 BM machine. This achievement demonstrates the compatibility of Graphmatech’s graphene-carrying thermoplastics with another key industrial production

Safer, less leaky gas tubes to Canada 

Uppsala, Sweden — According to their new MoU, Polytubes and Graphmatech are co-developing tubes for hydrogen and gas distribution.  The pipes are expected to leak significantly less hydrogen gas than current technology. Reducing leakage is not only a financial priority, but also an environmental priority. Hydrogen has a an eleven-times higher global warming potential (GWP)
