TORONTO – TheNewswire - October 30, 2024 – Bio Graphene Solutions (BGS) is pleased to share results of a successful trial with one of North America's premier precast concrete manufacturers, which saw a significant material improvement and cost savings using the BGS patent-pending organic graphene admixture.

Looking to reduce its cement content by 10 percent, the manufacturer ultimately saw an overall admixture cost reduction of 47 percent as it eliminated the need for a lubricating aid commonly used to improve concrete workability. Reducing cement is a goal for many manufacturers given its high cost both economically and environmentally (due to high carbon content).

In addition to cost savings, the manufacturer observed that concrete strength tests exceeded expectations, withstanding 8,000 to 17,000 lbs of pressure without stress cracking/breaking, and that the new admixture provided 28 day strength at 43 percent above the requirement. In addition, there were no flowability or friction issues reported, and no significant sagging or workability noted. In short? The results met or exceeded the manufacturer's existing standard, while fitting seamlessly into their existing process.

A disruptor in the graphene industry, clean-tech supplier BGS offers a new high-quality graphene product created from non-graphite source materials via a proprietary thermal-mechanical production process. Graphene improves the strength, durability and elasticity of many materials, yet traditional graphene production is both expensive and environmentally costly. This recent trial by BGS was just the latest of over 600 commercial concrete mix design tests all verified by independent third party licensed concrete testing facilities.

“Providing manufacturers with a product that lowers costs while still maintaining a high-quality material that plugs into their process flow is imperative," says David Fisher, CEO & Co-Founder of BGS. "Partners are eager to see our new alternatives and be a part of the chain that is intent on making this exciting product a future industry standard."

"Considering that the concrete industry is responsible for 8 percent of all global greenhouse gases, we are keen to continue developing innovative solutions for our partners." says Gary Van Dusen, CTO & Co-Founder of Bio Graphene Solutions Inc.
