KB Element has developed a mass production of ‘non-oxidized graphene’ Special method of non-oxidizing manufacturing from KM Elements

Graphene is a marvelous material. The conductivity is more than 100 times higher than copper and 200 times stronger than steel. It is great elastic, so it stretches and passes electricity well even when it is stretched.
This new material, graphene, is attracting attention as an alternative material for transparent electrodes (ITO) in the display field.
In addition to this, graphene can also be used for thin and flexible IT materials such as clothes and curtains. It is a wearable computer that can be worn like clothes or a large-screen technology that folds like a curtain. The only thing of cons is the price. Currently, graphene is traded at about USD 100 per gram.
“Graphene is over-packaged. Someone needs to speak clearly to stop the abuse of illusions on graphene. They said that it is a dream material, but graphene has not been commercialized yet. If the product is excessively expensive from the point of view of the consumer, it cannot be commercialized.
Graphene material cannot be commercialized even in the next 10 years unless the price problem is solved,” said Bae Baek-jung, CEO of KB Element, Korean non-oxidized graphene manufacturer.
The process of oxidation/reduction costs a lot of materials, and a huge investment in facilities is required for waste treatment. So, we have concluded that graphene made using the oxidation/reduction process was impossible to commercialize, and we decided to develop a process without oxidation/reduction process.
Because it does not use chemicals, there is no problem of fumes, wastewater, and heavy metals, and it can be produced in a very simple way. It is a technology that can reduce the selling price of USD 100 per unit to USD 10.
For now, KB Element, we have a total of 40 patents about non-oxidized graphene technology have been registered in Korea, China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan.
A Korean non-oxidized graphene manufacturer, KB Element, will be able to produce 15 tons of graphene powder per year with the completion of the non-oxidized graphene mass production plant.
