First Graphene Limited has been conducting bulk sample test work in association with the University of Adelaide, on performance of the PureGRAPH® range of graphene products for fire retardancy in polymer compounds. The initial results have been impressive. The base polyurethane elastomer burnt with an LOI value of 22.85%. The addition of ca. 1% PureGRAPH® to the polyurethane elastomer raises the LOI to 31.6%, meaning that under normal atmospheric conditions it will not propagate or support flame and will only burn in the presence of significantly higher oxygen levels. This also promotes graphene enhanced polyurethane elastomers up the LOI index, increasing the potential market share of these materials. Previous tests have demonstrated that the PureGRAPH® range of products provide significantly increased tensile, tear and abrasion wear characteristics to the base polyurethane product. The addition of fire retardancy characteristics has been identified as a key market need in the mining industry. While further testing is required to confirm the initial test results, FGR is optimistic that the observed fire retardancy qualities will enable the delivery of a new generation of safer polyurethane elastomer materials to industry, without compromising strength and wear characteristics.
