For those who listened to the Graphene Council webinar, highlighted by Timbo, above, the White Paper mentioned by John-Mark in his presentation is now on the company website News page, explaining in full why the company offers a safer, scalable functionalisation than 'wet' chemical methods.

Also


yesterday's blog contained a quote by Dr Matthew Thornton, Head of Innovation and Site Manager at Haydale Solutions Ltd which, I believe, sheds more light on the RNS of 20th July with regard to Ceramyshield.

Coke - thanks for your honesty - so many people lie about their holdings!

I sold VRS at 14p losing a grand or so - £2200 of it just before it soared 10x You can’t win ‘em all!

This could go anywhere frankly. I am not convinced the mask thing is anything more than a flash in the pan. They need to focus on large scale commercialisation - that will make them a £1bn Company, rather than pi*s around with fluff.

More big names announcing graphene-based product, Mercedes Benz and Xiaomi the latest. There's no mention of any involvement of the UK leaders in this sector that I can see. Hey, I thought the UK was a world leader in this stuff? Looks like it's break or break time for Haydale, if they can't catch this wave they may not get another chance.

Pffft, not as much good news as I was hoping for.

DCTA RNS FROM 07:00 13 AUGUST 2020 CONFIRMING VIRICIDAL PROPERTIES OF THEIR PARTICULAR GRAPHENE FACEMASK: Directa Plus plc

("Directa Plus" or the "Company")



Strong Anti-Viral (COVID-19) Properties Confirmed for Co-Mask™



Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, announces that its G+® graphene enhanced facemask, Co-mask™, has been confirmed as having strong anti-viral properties by a team at the Department of Neuroscience, Catholic University of Rome, operating in conjunction with the Gemelli Hospital in Rome.



The team, under Professor Massimiliano Papi, tested G+® enhanced fabrics with SARS-CoV-2, the strain of coronavirus that causes the respiratory illness responsible for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The preliminary results show that the G+® graphene can improve textile properties and significantly reduce the measured incidence of SARS-CoV-2 when the virus is deposited or filtered through functionalised cotton or a non-woven fabric (polyurethane). A scientific paper containing the full details of the trial and the results is underway and is expected to be published shortly.



The Company's Co-mask™ range of G+® enhanced masks is designed to be suitable for use by commuters, in the workplace, and for sport and exercise. The masks offer an optimum balance between breathability and filtration efficiency and thanks to the use of G+® are a natural and environmentally sustainable solution. The masks are washable at least 50 times, providing material cost benefits and, in addition to being strongly anti-bacterial, they have now been confirmed as having anti-SARS-CoV-2 properties. The Company's range was launched in June and is available for retail sale at a dedicated website: hxxps://graphene-plus.com/



Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus, said: "I would like to congratulate Professor Papi and his team on the first research project to test G+® graphene enhanced fabrics for their anti-viral qualities and, importantly, their ability to significantly reduce occurrence of SARS-CoV-2. I am also pleased that the team has verified the anti-bacterial properties of graphene enhanced fabrics, which are essential for the prolonged use of masks.



"These preliminary results confirm that the application of our technology can significantly enhance facemask efficacy and can help to reduce the spreading of SARS-CoV-2. Our G+® graphene solutions are non-toxic and environmentally sustainable, overcoming the health and other problems associated with current ion-metal or halogen treatments. The Company is now in early stage discussions with possible commercial partners for this application."

Thanks lsoc85 for the reply, going To run with it for now fingers crossed

[lsoc85] 12/8/2020 12:26

I'm 50% down as well; added to bring the average cost per share down, much like most that the management had on all fours in Feb 19. If the share price reaches your initial buy in it will be the greatest comeback since Lazarus. With the utmost respect, I'm looking forward to your heart attack! Ha! Hopefully you'll be having a few palpitations in the short term. SIRRUX - I'm working this aft but if you're tuning in, I'd be very grateful for a summary of anything interesting.

What a bonehead, catching that knife all the way down.
With the (relative to my position) larger number of shares purchased at 2 & 3.1p this recent price move has reduced my loss from ~90% to ~50%. That's nice but I'm holding for more.
Furious with myself for the first purchase in Feb last year; Just 2 days later the price had dropped 75% Aaaagh!

If we can get to 12p I'll be over the moon. If we can get to my last (only) sell price of 52p I'll be going bonkers and probably sell. If we get to my first buy in price from 2017 and I haven't sold I'll probably have a heart attack !

Date. Action. Price. Quantity.
13/03/2019 Corp 2 15,356
22/02/2019 Bought 3.1 9,693
20/02/2019 Bought 11.99 1,092
05/09/2018 Sold 52.02 1,000
14/06/2018 Bought 72.35 1,000
30/10/2017 Corp 0 361
11/10/2017 Bought. 125.5 239
12/07/2017 Bought 158 187
31/05/2017 Bought 187.5 213

(Sorry for the poor table formatting. It is ignoring the spaces I added to create clear columns)

Disasterous evidence of catching that falling knife :-(

[sirrux] 12/8/2020 09:35

Talking today at least. Not sure if they will drop any clues. Starts at 3pm UK time.

[lsoc85] 12/8/2020 00:06

The other option is, of course, that there's been a leak at Haydale HQ; there may be thousands in south Wales buying up cheap shares and looking forward to the TU to line their pockets... if so, I hope their information is correct!

[lsoc85] 11/8/2020 23:56

Very hard to say joshuam; but I can speculate.

Firstly, I've scoured Twitter and Google for any mention of Haydale or IRPC PCL (see RNSs of 29/06 and 01/07/2020). Unfortunately there's nothing of significance to explain the current rise.

Secondly, Haydale are historically overdue by a month a Trading Update.

Given the above, the rise is only explainable by the following: 1. The shorters are getting twitchy - those who bet on a falling Haydale share price are worried by the RNSs of 29/6 and 01/07; OR 2. People can see potential - those who bet on the long term prosperity of the Company like the look of the RNSs of 29/6 and 01/07.

If you look at Versarien (VRS), a similar Company but with a higher turnover, they have signed a collaboration with Coats PLC to produce graphene enhanced materials for the consumer market. They have also launched their own graphene enhanced face masks retailing at a tenner a pop. According to eBay they've sold c.900 but report a bulk order for 120,000. So they've raised, given economies of scale, c.£1m. Perhaps the market is recognising that Haydale have signed an agreement with IRPC PCL, a company worth 51bn thai bhat (£1.25bn), and fancy that the two agreements announced on 29/06 and 01/07 aren't going to be for loose change; that IRPC PCL are better placed to arrange sale of units in the tens of millions rather than the hundreds of thousands.... however, maybe it is for loose change though, IRPC PCL specialise in petrochemicals. No doubt, if a fund raise is required by HAYD, the price will crash and the shorters will be laughing all the way to the bank... as I say joshuam, tough one to call :)

Anyone know why this is taking off, got a small holding thinking of cashing out. Thanks in advance

[hodhasharon] 05/8/2020 10:48

Just think Graphene is in vogue.

[holdbucket] 05/8/2020 10:36

Yes, anyone know of any news?

[wapper] 05/8/2020 10:12

Interesting uplift this morning.

[lsoc85] 27/7/2020 13:02

Imminently. The last three YE TUs have come on 19 July 2017, 13 June 2018 and 11 July 2019. Historically, one is overdue. When it does come, the cash position is absolutely key. PlanarTECH are currently retailing graphene enhanced facemasks at USD 24.95 for a pack of three. Hopefully IRPC can bring the Haydale version to market sharpish. Anyone have any thoughts on what Haydale's percentage share of profits will be from the IRPC collab?

[leopold2020] 23/7/2020 11:03

Do we know when the next TU is due?

[lsoc85] 21/7/2020 11:40

All about the next TU and whether they need to raise further funds. The good news (IMO) is that a fundraise won't be at less than 2p because of the institutional investor at the last placing and the private investor(s) at Nov 2019. Can't see the management putting them over the barrel like they did the private investors in Feb 19 (important to note that there have been board changes since then). The potential in the graphene enhanced PPE (see RNS 1 July 2020) effectively secures a decent fundraise. However, this will obviously crash the price back to c.<2p. If, and it's a massive if, they don't require a fundraise, the price will smash 20p within the week (again IMO). So in conclusion, I'm optimistic re the long term whether they need a fundraise or not but if they don't then it's time to start planning your loft extensions. :)

[tel5] 21/7/2020 11:06

Could it be that we have started on the long recovery road ? signs look good to me

[dennisbergkamp] 20/7/2020 16:24

Thanks Cerrito,

So a raise anytime soon would be a bit concerning, I guess

[bad gateway] 20/7/2020 16:02

Would be good to know how much the recently flagged upfront fee from IRPC was. Would help with discussions on finances imo.

"Under the Agreement IRPC will pay an upfront fee to Haydale following signing of contract, with a second payment following submission of the final report."
