Applied Graphene Materials notes graphene powder approval from EU regulator

Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) has noted that the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has approved a volume threshold of 1 to 10 tonnes for graphene powder usage per annum for graphene products supplied by the Graphene REACH registration consortium, of which the company is a member.

AGM said the approval from the regulator represented a major milestone for the graphene industry and will enable members of the consortium to supply quantities of graphene materials in volume.

Applied Graphene Materials added that the new volume threshold provided confidence in the potential for volume quantity use of graphene materials in the range of applications that members of the consortium are pursuing.

"I am delighted to announce the successful REACH registration for this volume tonnage band, which represents the culmination of almost four years of work. Strategically, we identified the critical importance of regulatory registration to the long-term success of our business and have committed significant resources to achieving this result today. This registration underpins the effective and safe use of AGM's graphene materials at higher volumes, Applied Graphene Materials chief executive Adrian Potts said in a statement.
