Poly-G: The graphene masterbatch by Gerdau Graphene
It simplifies the uniform dispersion of graphene in polymers through various industrial processes.
About the Product
Poly-G transforms the production of films, profiles and sheets through extrusion, offering lighter, more durable products with a reduction of up to 40% in plastic content. Additionally, it improves its mechanical and thermal properties, allowing for more resistant and efficient final products.
It promotes the uniform dispersion of graphene in polymers, optimizing industrial processes.
We highlight the two products already available on the market: Poly-G PP, based on polypropylene, and Poly-G PE, based on polyethylene.
