First Graphene Ltd develops and commercializes graphene-enhanced materials for industrial applications. Company news centers on PureGRAPH® and functionalized graphene technologies used in cement and concrete products, coatings, geotextiles, environmental infrastructure, water treatment, energy storage, sensing technologies, and perovskite solar cells.
Updates commonly describe production trials, customer and research partnerships, asset acquisitions, and commercialization work across construction materials, solar technology, and advanced functional coatings. The company’s announcements also highlight how graphene formulations are integrated into manufacturing processes and applied to lower-material or performance-enhancing industrial products.
First Graphene (FGPHF) secured its first production purchase order from US-based Flux Footwear for PureGRAPH® in athletic and leisure shoes. Flux becomes the company's third footwear customer and its first commercial production application in the sporting and athletic footwear sector. PureGRAPH® was selected following development work and will progressively replace existing graphene models as production requirements increase.
The initial order is not financially material to First Graphene. It extends an application previously commercialised in work and safety footwear through collaborations with Steel Blue and PT Alasmas Berkat Utama into a new product category and geographic market. The company describes the order as a new revenue stream with potential for recurring PureGRAPH® production demand and further expansion of its US presence.
First Graphene (FGPHF) has entered a three-year development and commercialisation agreement with Aeropreg to advance graphene-enhanced carbon fibre prepreg. Prepreg is fibre material pre-infused with partially cured resin. The Turkish manufacturer will use First Graphene’s proprietary epoxy concentrates to incorporate PureGRAPH® into its existing carbon fibre prepreg manufacturing process.
The development program will focus on controlled, repeatable graphene loading, followed by validation of strength, durability, performance and manufacturability. Subject to trial results, the companies intend to advance the material towards commercial launch through Aeropreg’s existing sales channels. The collaboration follows First Graphene’s acquisition of MITO Materials, which expanded its composites technology and customer relationships in North America.
First Graphene (FGPHF) has signed a three-year partnership agreement with UK-based Vector Companies Group to expand commercial opportunities for graphene products.
The 36-month agreement allows Vector to introduce prospective end-users to First Graphene across its graphene product range. Vector may also buy products directly under separate purchase orders. The agreement expands an existing relationship and adds a route to prospective customers through Vector's network in advanced materials, manufacturing and the built environment.
Vector has also commercially launched Peltyr, a printed heat flux sensor incorporating First Graphene's PureGRAPH®. The sensors measure heat passing through building surfaces, allowing users to assess actual insulation performance before and after energy-efficiency upgrades.
First Graphene (FGPHF) has received its first production purchase order from Australian polyurethane producer Pacific Urethanes for the use of PureGRAPH® in polyurethane systems aimed at mining fire-retardant applications in Australia.
The order follows development work and moves the technology into commercial manufacture. PureGRAPH® will be incorporated into Pacific Urethanes' formulations to enhance fire-retardant performance while maintaining polyurethane's wear and mechanical properties. The company highlights that the global urethane mining products market is estimated at about US$2.6 billion annually and is forecast to approach US$3.8 billion by 2032, providing a pathway for wider adoption of graphene-enhanced polyurethane in mining and other industrial applications.
First Graphene (OTCQB:FGPHF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sixth Element Material Technology to distribute PureGRAPH® CEM in China’s cement and concrete sector.
The MOU grants conditional exclusivity, sets sales milestones for a future manufacturing joint venture or licence in China, and may expand to global distribution.
First Graphene (OTCQB:FGPHF) has entered a binding Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire manufacturing, IP and development assets of Ionic Industries and Imagine Intelligent Materials for a total consideration of AU$250,000 (cash and shares).
The deal delivers revenue-generating graphene coatings formulations, production infrastructure, an established customer and distribution base, and IP spanning geotextile coatings, environmental remediation, water treatment, energy storage and sensing. Settlement is anticipated within 90 days.
First Graphene (OTCQB:FGPHF) reported results from a five-month, world-first production trial of PureGRAPH® graphene-enhanced cement with FP McCann at Cadeby, UK. The trial used 40 tonnes of product to produce over 10,000 roof tiles and showed a cradle-to-gate CO2 reduction up to 14%, a cement requirement reduction up to 8%, and a 26% reduction in CEM I-to-concrete ratio for equivalent tile strength. Tiles will be used at FP McCann's Cadeby site and discussions with industry partners are underway. The project was supported by UK DESNZ and DEFRA programs.
First Graphene (OTCQB:FGPHF) has reported significant breakthroughs in their partnership with Halocell Energy and Queensland University of Technology for developing graphene-enhanced perovskite solar cells (PSC). The collaboration has achieved remarkable results, with PSC efficiency nearly doubling to 30.6% while reducing production costs by up to 80%.
The company's graphene formulations, compatible with roll-to-roll (R2R) dispersion technology, eliminate the need for expensive materials like gold and silver. The partnership, supported by a AU$2.03 million government grant, has led to commercial success with Halocell selling indoor, low-light PSCs since late 2024. Halocell plans to expand its Wagga Wagga plant capacity to manufacture up to 60 million PSC units annually, targeting 44 different device applications across various sectors.
