GUELPH, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 24, 2021 / ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. ("ZEN" or the "Company") (TSXV:ZEN)(OTC Pink:ZENYF), a next-gen nanomaterials technology company, is pleased to announce its preliminary biocidal coating production plan to meet the strong demand in the personal protective equipment (PPE) and air filtration markets. ZEN successfully transitioned from bench scale to pilot scale and has begun investing in additional pilot-scale capacity to help meet immediate demands. This intermediate step will significantly increase our current capacity to supply the demand from Trebor RX and provide product for new customers while the design and construction of our industrial-scale expansion continues with our engineering firm, Bantrel. For 2021, we currently expect the following timing and production estimates as expressed in terms of number of coated disposable masks:

Timing
Monthly Coating Capacity
Current
Pilot Scale
4 million masks
June
Multiple Pilot Scale
32 million masks
November
Industrial Scale
800 million masks


Greg Fenton, ZEN CEO commented: "Our graphene-based biocidal coating is an innovative product that can be applied to everyday materials to help protect people and the environment. With commercialization in the PPE and air filtration markets gaining momentum, we are preparing for existing orders and future requirements resulting from ongoing discussions with current and potential partners in these markets and others. To achieve our scale-up plans we will need to invest in our assets, but we believe our approach will strike the right balance between the needs of our current and future customers, project timelines and capital efficiency."

"Ensuring we can monetize current opportunities as quickly as possible while continuing to build an IP portfolio for the future is paramount; optimizing our supply chain is the key enabler for these priorities and why it will remain top-of-mind for ZEN," added Mr. Fenton.
