Graphene Leaders Canada commercializes graphene-enhanced electroless nickel additive
Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC), a Canadian advanced materials company, has announced the commercialization of its proprietary graphene-enhanced electroless nickel (EN) additive, marking a milestone in the Company's transition from research and development to commercial deployment.
Following years of scientific innovation, engineering, formulation optimization, and industry validation, GLC has brought its graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) additive technology from the laboratory to real-world industrial applications, reporting significant improvements in corrosion resistance and wear performance over conventional electroless nickel coatings.
Argo expands collaboration with Graphene Leaders Canada to explore graphene-enhanced asphalt
Argo Living Soils has announced that, following its May 5, 2025 news release regarding the research and development ("R&D") agreement with Graphene Leaders Canada Inc. ("GLC"), Argo is now in discussions to expand its R&D agreement to include the development of graphene-infused asphalt solutions.
The expanded agreement will leverage GLC's advanced graphene nanoplatelet ("GNP") dispersion capabilities alongside Argo's expertise in sustainable technology to explore the potential of graphene-infused asphalt for infrastructure applications. The focus will be on research and development to design and test graphene GNP formulations for asphalt, with independent testing planned to assess performance.
Argo Living Soils Corp. and Graphene Leaders Canada announce R&D agreement for graphene concrete solutions
Argo Living Soils (now Argo Graphene) has announced it has entered into a research and development (R&D) agreement with Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC), an Alberta-based company specializing in high-quality dispersions of graphene and carbon nanomaterials, to develop a graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) additive for ready-mix concrete.
This collaboration, formalized through a Phase 1 project proposal, marks a significant step in Argo's expansion into the green concrete market through its subsidiary, Argo Green Concrete Solutions Inc., leveraging bio-graphene technology to create stronger, more sustainable concrete products.
Argo Living Soils signs MOU with Graphene Leaders Canada
Argo Living Soils, a company that specializes in producing and developing organic products, including soil amendments, living soils, biofertilizers and vermicompost, has announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an intent to establish a joint venture with Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC) that will see the companies bring their proprietary technologies together in the pursuit of commercially viable graphene-based products.

GLCM develops Insta-Test for detection of Covid-19 in under 15 seconds
GLC Medical (GLCM), a subsidiary of Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC), recently announced completion of development of the GLCM SARS-CoV-2 Insta-Test, delivering results in under 15 seconds, offering fast and easy to use solution to screen for COVID-19.
The Company stated that it sees potential for this new graphene-based biosensor to enable the world to regain a sense of freedom and bring normal back into its future.
Edmonton Airport to host trial of new graphene-based COVID-19 testing technology
It was recently reported that Edmonton International Airport (YEG) will host a trial for a new graphene-based COVID-19 testing technology that can produce results in seconds. The trials will be executed in partnership with GLC Medical, a subsidiary of Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC).
The test is conducted with a handheld unit that takes a saliva sample from a person and is expected to tell if someone has COVID-19 in under one minute, compared to other tests with longer laboratory-based waiting periods for results. This test promises many advantages, from its ease of use to the elimination of the nasal swab to direct virus detection.
Graphene Leaders Canada provides financial and commercial updates
Graphene Leaders Canada (GLC) has announced that it has been awarded $350,000 CAD (around $261,000 USD) grant funding for a joint project under the National Research Council United Kingdom (UK) Research Institute (NRC-UKRI) Research and Innovation Program. This funding will support GLC’s Scaling of Graphene Oxide towards the development of GLC’s Environmental platform of products.
This project will support scale up activities of graphene oxide with a focus on developing a cost effective, scalable production method aimed at commercializing our environmental platform of products for air and water treatment, said Dr. Leah Coumont, GLC’s Director of R&D.
Graphene Leaders Canada launches graphene-enhanced water treatment technology
Graphene Leaders Canada has launched its GLC+ Water Technologies Platform, which according to the Company "offers a solution to water pollution and remediation and is based on years of expertise in graphene solutions work with a keen focus in water filtration".
The material has been developed as a loose granular adsorbent that can be integrated into existing filtration systems and can be tailored to remove numerous types of contaminants in water. The GLC+ material offers a highly versatile and cost-effective bolt-on solution with the material having the ability to be regenerated for numerous uses.
