Launch of Nanene
Versarien plc (AIM:VRS) ("Versarien" or the "Company"), the
advanced materials group, is pleased to announce the launch of the
Company's new graphene brand, Nanene.
Nanene is manufactured using Versarien's patent protected,
mechanised exfoliation process. This process uses high shearing
forces to separate the layers of graphite to sheets of graphene
which are less than ten atoms thick, with the majority being less
than five atoms thick, ensuring the properties of Nanene are
superior to materials already established as the industry norm.
Versarien has taken this process from the laboratory to scalable
production by investments in labour and capital, increasing both
throughput and yields. The result of this is an independently
verified, high quality graphene product, Nanene, produced in a
manufacturing process that can be scaled to meet ever increasing
customer demands.
Nanene can be used in a variety of applications including in
high-end applications in carbon fibre composites, such as the order
announced on 29 November 2016, which was achieved with a tripling
of manufacturing capacity on a short lead time.
Further information on Nanene may be found at the dedicated
website, www.nanene.com.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "Having moved from
the R&D phase and secured our first sizable order, we are
pleased to launch our new graphene brand, Nanene. Versarien
manufactured graphene is of the highest quality and our patent
protected manufacturing process allows Nanene to be produced in
large volumes at market leading prices.
"We have already demonstrated that we can deliver high quality
sizable graphene orders quickly and are confident of securing
further significant orders in the coming months."
