TSX-V: GGG, OTCQB: GPHBF
NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2015 /CNW/ - Graphene 3D Lab Inc.
(TSX-V: GGG, OTCQB: GPHBF) ("Graphene 3D") is pleased to
announce the filing of a non-provisional patent pertaining to the
preparation and separation of atomic layers of graphene. This
technological breakthrough represents a new, energy efficient
process to manufacture, sort and classify graphene nanoparticles
resulting in the potential for large scale production of high grade
graphene. This patent relates to graphene nanoplatelets (GNP).
Specifically the patent covers a new, energy efficient, non
chemically invasive, process that significantly lowers the cost of
preparing and separating high quality, low atomic layers of
GNP. The application claims priority to provisional
application No. 62/058,313, filed on Oct. 1,
2014 by Graphene Laboratories and will be assigned to
Graphene 3D as part of the merger announced on August 12, 2015.
"The business implications associated with this filing are
significant and near term. The extraordinary qualities of graphene
has positioned it as one of the most sought after materials in
research and development since its discovery in 2004," said
Elena Polyakova, Co-Chief Executive
Officer. "However up to now, the high-cost of quality material
has generally restricted its use to R&D labs. We are changing
that and look forward to offering these benefits to our client base
and to others who will now utilize graphene into mainstream
manufacturing".
The Company is already a leader in the manufacturing and
retailing of graphene and advanced materials to more than 8,000
customers worldwide, including nearly every Fortune 500 tech
company and major research university. Some notable clients are
NASA, Ford Motor Co., GE, Apple, Xerox, Samsung, Harvard University, IBM and Stanford University. The company is the first to
offer a wide variety of graphene enabled 3D printing materials and
products. Our array of products can be easily found online at:

To date, manufacture of graphene has been restricted to manual
intensive, high-energy, toxic chemical processes to allow for the
production of the highest quality graphene. The Graphene 3D
patent intends a low-cost, low-energy, primarily automated, toxic
free method of producing and classifying the highest purity
graphene nanoplatelets.
"Accompanying our patent application, the Company has produced a
bench-top working prototype of our manufacturing and classification
technology," added Daniel Stolyarov Co-Chief Executive
Officer. "Over the next 12 months we intend to manufacture
and put in place a scaled-up operation. We expect our unique
combination of high-quality, low-cost graphene will significantly
impact the commercial marketplace, and will allow an ever widening
variety of manufacturers to consider incorporating the
extraordinary qualities of graphene in wide range of materials from
batteries to consumer electronics to plastics."
According to the American Physical Society, graphene is a
"wonder material' with a vast array of groundbreaking properties
including, the highest strength of any isolated material,
extraordinary conductivity, flexibility and transparency. In
its most pure form, graphene is a single-layer of carbon atoms
arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Properties of graphene
improve when the material is present in the least number of
atomic layers.
