HydroGraph Announces Two Patent Application Filings for its Innovative Graphene Application
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) has filed two new US patent applications for graphene-coated hollow glass microsphere technology (HGMS). The patents cover HGMS coated with pristine graphene and reactive graphene, aiming to provide lightweighting and strengthening properties to material composites in the automotive, marine, and aerospace industries.
The graphene-coated bubbles are a multifunctional version of bare HGMS and HydroGraph's first stand-alone industrial product. They can be used in composites such as lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields and as fillers in plastic parts. The technology converts white insulating glass bubbles into black, electrically conducting, free-flowing powder, preserving HGMS' low-density feature.
HydroGraph now has 11 patent applications filed in the US and globally, with two patents already granted for its FGA-1 pristine graphene. The global market for bare glass bubbles is estimated to approach $8 billion annually in 2024.
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) ha presentato due nuove domande di brevetto negli Stati Uniti per la tecnologia delle microsfere di vetro cave rivestite in grafene (HGMS). I brevetti coprono HGMS rivestite con grafene puro e grafene reattivo, con l'obiettivo di fornire proprietà di leggerezza e resistenza ai compositi di materiali nei settori automobilistico, marittimo e aerospaziale.
Le bolle rivestite in grafene rappresentano una versione multifunzionale delle HGMS non rivestite ed sono il primo prodotto industriale autonomo di HydroGraph. Possono essere utilizzate in compositi come schermi leggeri contro le interferenze elettromagnetiche (EMI) e come riempitivi in componenti di plastica. La tecnologia trasforma le bolle di vetro isolante bianche in polvere nera, conduttiva ed in grado di fluire liberamente, mantenendo la caratteristica di bassa densità delle HGMS.
HydroGraph ha attualmente 11 domande di brevetto depositate negli Stati Uniti e a livello globale, con due brevetti già concessi per il suo grafene puro FGA-1. Si stima che il mercato globale per le bolle di vetro non rivestite raggiunga 8 miliardi di dollari all'anno entro il 2024.
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) ha presentado dos nuevas solicitudes de patente en EE.UU. para la tecnología de microesferas de vidrio huecas recubiertas de grafeno (HGMS). Las patentes cubren HGMS recubiertas con grafeno puro y grafeno reactivo, con el objetivo de proporcionar propiedades de ligereza y resistencia a los compuestos de materiales en las industrias automotriz, marina y aeroespacial.
Las burbujas recubiertas de grafeno son una versión multifuncional de las HGMS desnudas y el primer producto industrial independiente de HydroGraph. Pueden ser utilizadas en compuestos como escudos ligeros contra interferencias electromagnéticas (EMI) y como rellenos en piezas de plástico. La tecnología convierte burbujas de vidrio aislante blancas en un polvo negro, conductivo y de flujo libre, preservando la característica de baja densidad de las HGMS.
HydroGraph ahora tiene 11 solicitudes de patente presentadas en EE.UU. y a nivel global, con dos patentes ya concedidas para su grafeno puro FGA-1. Se estima que el mercado global de burbujas de vidrio desnudas alcanzará 8 mil millones de dólares anuales en 2024.
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF)는 그래핀 코팅이 된 중공 유리 마이크로스피어 기술 (HGMS)에 대한 두 가지 새로운 미국 특허 출원을 했습니다. 이 특허는 순수 그래핀 및 반응성 그래핀으로 코팅된 HGMS를 포함하며, 자동차, 해양 및 항공 우주 산업의 물질 복합체에 경량화 및 강화 속성을 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
그래핀 코팅된 버블은 맨 HGMS의 다기능 버전이며 HydroGraph의 첫 독립 산업 제품입니다. 이들은 경량 전자기 간섭(EMI) 차폐재와 플라스틱 부품의 충전재로 사용될 수 있습니다. 이 기술은 흰색 절연 유리 버블을 검은색, 전도성 및 자유 흐름 가는 분말로 변환하며, HGMS의 저밀도 특성을 보존합니다.
HydroGraph는 현재 미국 및 전 세계에 11개의 특허 출원이 있으며, 이미 두 개의 특허가 FGA-1 순수 그래핀에 대해 부여되었습니다. 전 세계의 맨 유리 버블 시장은 2024년까지 연간 80억 달러에 이를 것으로 추정됩니다.
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) a déposé deux nouvelles demandes de brevet aux États-Unis pour la technologie des microsphères en verre creuses revêtues de graphène (HGMS). Les brevets couvrent les HGMS revêtues de graphène pur et de graphène réactif, visant à fournir des propriétés de légèreté et de résistance aux composites de matériaux dans les secteurs de l'automobile, de la marine et de l'aérospatiale.
Les bulles revêtues de graphène sont une version multifonctionnelle des HGMS non revêtues et le premier produit industriel autonome de HydroGraph. Elles peuvent être utilisées dans des composites tels que des écrans légers contre les interférences électromagnétiques (EMI) et comme remplissages dans des pièces en plastique. La technologie transforme des bulles de verre isolantes blanches en une poudre noire, conductrice et fluide, préservant la caractéristique de faible densité des HGMS.
HydroGraph a actuellement 11 demandes de brevet déposées aux États-Unis et à l'international, avec deux brevets déjà accordés pour son graphène pur FGA-1. Le marché mondial des bulles de verre non revêtues devrait atteindre 8 milliards de dollars annuels d'ici 2024.
HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) hat zwei neue US-Patent-Anmeldungen für die Technologie grafenbeschichtete hohle Glas-Mikrosphären (HGMS) eingereicht. Die Patente decken HGMS ab, die mit reinem und reaktivem Graphen beschichtet sind, um Gewichtseinsparungen und Verstärkungseigenschaften für Materialverbunde in der Automobil-, Marine- und Luftfahrtindustrie zu bieten.
Die mit Graphen beschichteten Blasen sind eine multifunktionale Version der unbeschichteten HGMS und das erste eigenständige Industrieprodukt von HydroGraph. Sie können in Verbundstoffen wie leichten elektromagnetischen Interferenz (EMI) Schutzschildern und als Füllstoffe in Kunststoffteilen verwendet werden.

New patent applications to offer lightweighting and strengthening properties to material composites used in the automotive, marine and aerospace industries
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) (FRA: M98) (the “Company” or “HydroGraph”), a sustainable commercial manufacturer of pristine graphene, has announced the filing of two new US patent applications for graphene-coated hollow glass microsphere technology (HGMS).
The first patent covers HGMS coated with pristine graphene whilst the second focuses on HGMS coated with reactive graphene. These two patents represent HydroGraph’s effort to innovate within large scale application areas by offering improvements in both sustainability and performance. As a stand-alone product, HydroGraph’s coated microspheres have already received customer attention and are effectively a drop-in solution for numerous application areas seeking lightweighting or strengthening capabilities.
HydroGraph’s technology can produce two types of graphene coated bubbles, using uncoated hollow glass bubbles, which are industrial commodity material. The finished graphene coated bubbles may be used in composites, such as lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields and lightweight filler in plastic parts across industries such as automotive, marine and aerospace. Glass bubbles can also be used in the production of lightweight, high-strength concrete. The rising demand and extensive use of this innovative technology have the potential to further increase the demand for glass microspheres, with estimates for the bare glass bubbles approaching
“Our new patent applications demonstrate our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with graphene to deliver cutting-edge, customized solutions to meet the evolving needs of our partners,” said Kjirstin Breure, president and interim CEO of HydroGraph. “This innovation opens new possibilities for lightweight, high-strength materials, representing a significant leap in material science.”
The graphene coating converts the white insulating glass bubbles into black, electrically conducting, free-flowing powder. HGMS are mostly made of air and a thin glass spherical shell, so light in weight, they are able to float on water. The size of the glass shell is typically less than 100 microns thick, making HydroGraph’s nanoscale graphene the ideal coating material for preserving HGMS’ low-density feature. HGMS are extremely small in size, so are often mixed with resin to make lightweight composites. Because HGMS are spherical, they can also act as lubricants in flow. Graphene’s integration as a coating on bubbles can be thought of as a support material for graphene nanostructure, potentially useful as an absorption media of contaminants, thus, showing filtration capability. Graphene-coated bubbles are a multifunctional version of the bare HGMS and HydroGraph’s first stand-alone industrial product.
Currently, HydroGraph has 11 patent applications filed in the US and globally with two patents granted for its FGA-1 pristine graphene.
