Black Swan Graphene has announced it has entered into a commercial partnership with Graphene Composites (GC). The Companies will aim to incorporate Black Swan's graphene in the fabrication of GC Shield, a patented ballistic protection technology ("GC Shields").
The Company highlighted that GC Shields, with its patented graphene-aerogel composite, have unique force dispersion capabilities which protect users from multiple shots, stacked rounds, and edge impacts while maintaining minimum back face deformation. They are among the strongest, lightest, and most resilient ballistic shields on the market for the law enforcement and defense sectors, according to Black Swan.
"We have been collaborating with Graphene Composites for some time and are delighted that their GC Shields products are being adopted in high-profile global safety applications,” Black Swan's Chief Operating Officer, Michael Edwards, commented. “We look forward to continuing our partnership and developing further innovative solutions together."
GC's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Steve Devine, added that the quality, stability and purity of Black Swan’s graphene ensures a highly stable product. “Combined with their ISO-certified manufacturing processes, scalability, and competitive pricing, Black Swan offers significant reassurance regarding ongoing quality, cost, and production reliability within the supply chain,” Dr. Devine said.
Further, Black Swan reported that it has received strong interest for its graphene-enhanced masterbatch products. It said that multiple “promising” initiatives with high-profile customers are underway, with the company expecting to provide additional details soon.
