Rimere has started supplying its first nanocarbon and graphene materials for industry testing and evaluation. The US-based plasma technology company confirmed its branched nanocarbon spheres and crumpled graphene sheets are now in production and shipping to partners across multiple sectors. The move follows recent advances in its plasma methane pyrolysis process.
Rimere described its branched nanocarbon spheres as suited for the concrete, polymer and automotive industries. The company highlighted crumpled graphene’s conductive properties, which make it relevant for energy storage, coatings and advanced composites.
The firm said shipments have already begun alongside partner-led testing programmes. [Paraphrased statement, no direct quote provided.]
The announcement follows Rimere’s reported breakthrough in its sequential hybrid plasma methane pyrolysis process. The method is now said to consistently produce scalable quantities of nanocarbon materials, including high-purity graphene.
Market researchers at Spherical Insight forecast the nanocarbon market will rise from $4.1 billion in 2023 to $32.8 billion by 2033, growing at 27.7% annually.
Mitchell Pratt, CEO of Rimere, said, “It’s an exciting time for the growth and application of nanocarbon materials, especially our graphene which is produced at a distinctively high quality, purity level and at attractive pricing. Our team has been hard at work refining our environmentally friendly Reformer technology and we’re pleased we can now move forward with testing and expand collaboration with customers across industries that are eager to integrate high-performance materials into their products.”
Rimere plans to expand collaboration with industrial partners in construction, energy storage and automotive applications as evaluation programmes progress.
