Haydale has issued a Purchase Order to Imagine IM for a quantity of Imgne X3 that will be sufficient to enable 50,000m2 of conductive geotextile to be manufactured. This will ensure that there is available supply in the US ahead of the commissioning of a full-scale plant at Haydale’s manufacturing facility in Greer, SC.

Haydale Technologies is based in South Carolina close to the hub of geotextile manufacturing in the United States.

Haydale has also been granted a patent for a new process that enables graphene to be combined with other materials

In a release about the Imagine IM – Haydale agreement, Chris Gilbey, CEO of Imagine IM, said, “Combining Imagine IM’s proven graphene manufacturing processes with Haydale’s advanced materials manufacturing expertise will be a significant step toward delivering disruptive graphene-based coatings solutions into the North American market. It comes on the back of successful product installations in Australia and a full order book for product to our licensee Geofabrics Australasia, the leading textile manufacturer in Australia.”

Ray Gibbs, CEO of Haydale Graphene Industries PLC, added that, “This partnership builds on our existing nano dispersion know-how and patented material doping technology  and now extends our graphene footprint in the US. It also gives Haydale direct access to the world’s largest market for coated geosynthetics.”
