LONDON (Alliance News) - Versarien PLC on Tuesday said it has launched a new graphene enhanced polymer range Polygrene.
Versarien shares were trading 6.2% higher on Tuesday at 121.10 pence each.
The materials engineering company said Polygrene was developed in a collaboration with industrial partners. The partnership has developed a variety of polymer compounds and masterbatches that feature different types of polymer.
These can be used in industrial extrusion, Versarien said, moulding and 3D printing processes.
Polygrene range has been developed for applications requiring increased mechanical performance over standard polymers. It can also be used to improve thermal and electrical conductivity where applications require this.
"The addition of graphene to polymers has been demonstrated to provide a variety of benefits, allowing innovative products to be developed," said Chief Executive Neill Ricketts.
"We are in discussions with a number of potential customers for Polygrene and look forward to announcing specific applications where Polygrene is being used in due course," added Ricketts.
