Black Swan Graphene, Graphene Composites initiate commercial partnership for ballistic protection technology

Black Swan Graphene Inc. and Graphene Composites Ltd., an advanced materials engineering company, are pleased to announce having initiated a commercial partnership for the supply of Black Swan's graphene used in the fabrication of GC Shield, a patented ballistic protection technology. Furthermore, Black Swan is excited to report having received strong interest for its graphene enhanced masterbatch products. Several promising initiatives involving high-profile customers are currently underway.

GC Shields offer unparalleled, lightweight ballistic protection to the law enforcement and defense sectors. Utilizing advanced materials and GC's patented graphene-aerogel composite, these shields possess unique force dispersion capabilities providing protection against multiple shots, stacked rounds, and edge impacts, all while maintaining minimal back face deformation.1 GC Shields are among the strongest, lightest, and most resilient ballistic shields on the market.

GC is currently extending the GC Shields technology using Black Swan's graphene to other applications, where the strength, resilience and lightweight of the composite can provide significant protection, including vehicle armor with certified STANAG Level-1 tests.

"The quality, stability, and purity of the graphene produced by Black Swan, now utilized in the manufacture of GC Shields, ensure a highly stable product," says Dr Steve Devine, Chief Technology Officer of GC. "Combined with their ISO-certified manufacturing processes, scalability, and competitive pricing, Black Swan offers significant reassurance regarding ongoing quality, cost, and production reliability within the supply chain."

"We've been collaborating with Graphene Composites for some time and are delighted that their GC Shields products are being adopted in high-profile global safety applications," says Michael Edwards, Chief Operating Officer of Black Swan. "We look forward to continuing our partnership and developing further innovative solutions together."
