Perpetuus Advanced Materials, a British company that manufactures advanced materials has entered into a Heads of Terms Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding with a high quality graphene producer, Graphene Platform Corporation, via Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary.
The CEO of Graphene Platform Corporation (Graphene Platform or GPC) is Mr. Shoji Hasegawa and the company has its headquarters in Tokyo with research facilities at The Tokyo Institute of Technology in Yokohama.
Graphene Platform has an excellent track record for manufacturing and distributing graphene of high quality for many years through its wide distributor network worldwide via Australia, the USA, Europe, Turkey, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea and China.
With the acceptance of a license and royalty agreement beginning shortly, GPC will be able to purchase the latest DBD Plasma Reactor technology off Perpetuus and be involved in functionalised graphenes manufacture. Using this technology, GPC will produce and supply hundreds of tonnes of plasma functionalised graphenes to its Far East customers. This will enable them to move forward from R&D to commercialisation in the advanced electronic application, energy storage and enhanced composite sectors.
John Buckland, CEO of Perpetuus Advanced Materials said “Our team have known and worked with Mr Shoji Hasegawa and Graphene Platform for a number of years. GPC understand that graphenes can be more effectively introduced into existing products, if they are supplied via ‘graphene-enabled intermediaries’, which are pre-designed to their customers’ production specifications. We are delighted that GPC have signed the Heads of Terms Agreement, and we now expect to make our first reactor sale outside of the UK once the License Agreement is signed. We have great confidence in GPC’s ability to rapidly expand the sales of our functionalised graphenes in the Far East. This is a significant step in our ambition to quickly make our DBD Plasma Reactor technology the global standard for producing industrial quantities of functionalised graphenes”.
Mr Shoji Hasegawa said, “Our mission is to spread the use of graphene materials, educating and encouraging our customers to adopt these ‘wonder materials’ in a variety of applications and electronic devices. Our primary goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality graphene materials and intermediaries as quickly as possible. Perpetuus’ latest DBD Plasma Reactor technology is essential to our ability to meet this goal”.
