@timbo don't worry after reading your post he's bound to tweet now and make some tenuous connection. He's a master promoter!

What do you mean by self healing,cheers

If VRS had anything to do with that BBC article, NR would already have been on twitter to tell everyone about it

"do not compare first graphene to vrs...2 totally different companies."

No comparison. FGR sell at multi ton level (after today). Their product is $150/kg. Has better lateral size and surface area and lower density. Above all they are £25m market cap.

They don't have Mr. Ricketts on Twitter all day though.

BBC breakfast news just showed an article on self healing concrete. University of Cambridge are developing it, it can heal itself in 2 weeks. I wonder if VRS have any input into that?

[jointer13] 28/11/2018 07:55

each company to there own.

there are many companies out there producing graphene/graphite.

i'm sure they will all find a place that suits them.

That is great news and investors in all AIM listed graphene related companies should welcome this announcement

It is fantastic news for FGR. It provides real commercial validation of their model and it should give a real boost to the their profile leading up to the forthcoming listing on AIM

Looks like the GEIC will have £60m in funding when it launches.https://www.graphene.manchester.ac.uk/about/geic/Let's hope it quickly leads to some positive material developments for VRS (pun intended)...

[jointer13] 28/11/2018 07:49

the tender for the cpi was based on quality.

quality wins through in the end

"The evaluation of the tender was based principally on the quality and specification of the graphene to be supplied with additional marks awarded for price and delivery."

Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is very pleased to announce that it has won a single supplier competitive tender for the ongoing supply of nanomaterials, including the Company's graphene, to the Centre for Process Innovation Limited ("CPI"). The evaluation of the tender was based principally on the quality and specification of the graphene to be supplied with additional marks awarded for price and delivery.

[jointer13] 28/11/2018 07:47

we do sell it.

we do not give it away...and we are in the process of ramping our production up of our quality materials.

[ellissj] 28/11/2018 07:45

Looking forward to geic opening and the PR that comes with it. UK govt invested plenty of money in our advanced materials future ! Imo. Best ellis

Hi Jointer,

The only thing that matters is sales, you can keep saying that VRS has the best graphene, if no one is buying you have to ask why ?

VRS has entered into 28+ Collaboration agreements over the past 3 years, to date you have sold 1 or 2 kgs of graphene.

It is interesting you don't quote JHFI actually comments on VRS quality, as he is talking about your technology, not your graphene produced. I guess what else is a finance company meant to say.

"JHFI specially organised experts to hold a demonstration meeting with regard to graphene project. Experts at the demonstration meeting consider that the graphene technology of Versarien has certain world leading position and can be introduced in China to strenghten technical co-operation between China and the UK".

[davemac3] 28/11/2018 07:42

Nanene might be the best stuff in the world, but you still need to sell it

Certainly have Chillpill, not supplying a few grams or a couple of kg's,

the have a supply agreement for 2,000kgs, which is 2/3 of Versarien's future production, (subject to successful commissioning)

I cannot believe they have taken a collaboration agreement that was entered into in June into a commercial sales agreement withing 5 months,

Here is Today's announcement, you should read the last part of the announcement,

VRS hasn't obtained or announced that they have applied this approval, you cannot sell more that 1tpa of graphene if you don't have REACH approval (UK / Europe).

I guess your future 3tpa production facility doesn't have any orders waiting for it to be commissioned.




• FGR is in receipt of what it believes to be the largest single order
for the commercial supply of bulk graphene materials to date,
thereby signalling that the commercialisation of graphene has
gone beyond a concept to become a reality.

• newGen has placed an order for 2,000 kg of PureGRAPH™ range
products to be delivered during 2019, for use in the ArmourGRAPH™
product range

• PureGRAPH™ products from the range of 5, 10 and 20 micron to
be drawn down during the 2019 calendar year

• This order confirms First Graphene’s status as the world’s leading
graphene company. There are expectations for an expanding
sales book as we go into 2019, from both newGen and other
customers and product verticals.

Advanced materials company, First Graphene Limited (“FGR” or “the
Company”) (ASX: FGR) is pleased to report that is delivering on its
previous guidance whereby it had advised shareholders that it
expected to receive commercial scale orders for its graphene products
by the end of 2018.

The purchase order for 2,000kg of PureGRAPH™ range products from
newGen for delivery during 2019, represents a significant development
not only for FGR, but also for the broader graphene market. It
demonstrates the initial market appetite for high quality bulk graphene
products of the type in which FGR specialises. Up until now the
graphene sector has been supplying mostly samples for evaluation.
This order represents a step change in the business as it starts to scale
up for larger size orders.

Pleasingly, the premium price to be received pursuant to the order
debunks the myth that graphene is expensive. The productivity
benefits and material performance improvements experienced when
PureGRAPHTM is added to materials more than compensate for the
cost of the graphene, and it underpins the pricing strategy employed
by First Graphene



newGen has now issued a purchase order for 2,000kg (2 tonnes) of PureGRAPHTM to be
drawn down as it wins tenders during 2019. There is one final regulatory approval required before the first sale is effected, being the registration of graphene by the National Industrial
Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) in Australia. Similarly, the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) needs to be completed for sales in the European Union. These registration processes are currently underway and they are not expected to provide any meaningful delays.
The National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) registration process is required for all chemicals used in industry in Australia.
Within the European Union REACH registration is required if an organisation plans to sell greater than one tonne of a chemical within the EU or United Kingdom. First Graphene Ltd has already joined the consortium which is registering graphene as a new chemical. The consortium consists of three graphene organisations, one from China, one from Canada and one European producer.


The director of newGen's comments are interesting, It looks like the inital 2t order could be increased.

newGen Managing Director, Ben Walker stated:
“My Company has had considerable interest generated for our new Armour-GRAPH™ range since we started developing PureGRAPH enhanced products with First Graphene. The graphene enhanced resin was added seamlessly into our mixing procedure. It is not labour intensive or complicated with regard to our standard operating practices.”


Oh and don't forget the liner market is worth US$1.2 Billion. this is only one area that PureGRAPH20 with its jumbo platelet graphene (10x larger than nanene TD4 average size) can be used,

[ellissj] 28/11/2018 07:11

Re GNP's, it's laterals and thickness that define 2D v 3D 'graphenes.' Imo. Best ellis

[chillpill] 28/11/2018 06:29

Yes FGR have signed a supply deal with the metal bashers down the road who are doing the retro-fit on mining equipment.

Well done them.

[club sandwich] 28/11/2018 06:15

"I heard ceramics and heat furnace coming soon maybe!?"Great, a whole new sector - that should be worth a couple of Kgs right there...

[1teepee] 28/11/2018 01:57

Where is the nanene branding on the earphones?

[mryl] 27/11/2018 23:45

Although actually we don't know anything about the full specs yet, we only know they are Nanene-enhanced and they look good. They are obviously not wireless and don't seem to be water-resistant, so they probably won't be too expensive.. I'll try too get my hand on a pair and compare them to my £10 Betron (another British company making inexpensive high quality headphones). I really really hope these Nanene earphones are next level stuff.

Edit: if the sound experience is B&W level then a higher price tag is to be expected of course.
