Redefining performance
Thermoplastics underpin a vast range of modern products, from precision-engineered automotive parts and durable packaging to high-performance industrial components. Expectations are rising for improved mechanical strength, better heat and electrical performance, and reduced environmental impact, all without sacrificing the ease of processing that makes thermoplastics so valuable.
Levidian’s graphene-enhanced masterbatch elevates performance at low loadings while maintaining full compatibility with existing manufacturing.
What is graphene-enhanced masterbatch?
Graphene-enhanced masterbatch is a high-performance concentrate where graphene is dispersed into an application-compatible carrier resin. It is designed to be easily integrated into plastic manufacturing processes, delivering the remarkable properties of graphene without disrupting existing production lines.
By introducing a small percentage of graphene into polymers, manufacturers can improve mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, barrier performance, and more.
Key benefits
Enhanced strength & durability
Strength and stiffness gains, improved resistance to heat degradation and UV, increased impact resistance.
Excellent gas and chemical impermeability
Exceptional barrier properties due to the ‘tortuous pathway’ effect.
Improved processability
Graphene’s unique morphology ensures minimal impact on melt flow.
Lightweighting
Strong mechanical properties can enable lightweighting in end products.
Increased recyclability
Supports higher recycled content and can outperform additives like carbon black.
Applications
We provide graphene-enhanced polymers that can cut material use, improve performance and extend service life without changing your current processes.
Wire & Cable
Improved mechanical strength and EMI shielding can support thinner jackets; UV and thermal stability plus added moisture barrier help limit corrosion and extend service life.
Pipes & Enclosures
Higher toughness and flexural strength support wall thickness reduction and minimise leakage; UV and thermal stability support longer service life above and below ground.
Packaging & Recycled Polymers
Enhanced gas and moisture barrier at low loadings enables downgauging, extends shelf life and supports higher recycled content while maintaining mechanical strength. Improved flow and cooling during processing can also reduce cycle times and increase product throughput.
Construction Products
Increased strength and stiffness with improved thermal performance can support lighter parts and more durable components; alongside suitable flame-retardant systems can also enhance flame resistance.
