Hydrograph’s Graphene: 99.8% Carbon, What’s the 0.2% ???

Hydrograph Clean Power Tech’s acclaimed ISO 9001 standard graphene, boasts 99.8% carbon content, sub 50 nm particle sizes and 100% SP₂ bonding. It is primarily composed of carbon, with the remaining 0.2% consisting of minute quantities of oxygen and hydrogen.

According to the technical data sheet for their FGA-1 Fractal Graphene Aggregate, the elemental composition of this high-purity graphene is precisely broken down as:

Carbon (C): 99.8%

Oxygen (O): 0.05%

Hydrogen (H): 0.15%

This detailed analysis provides a definitive answer to the composition of the trace impurities within their product. The presence of oxygen and hydrogen is a typical outcome of the manufacturing process, even in highly controlled environments.

Hydrograph utilizes a patented detonation process to synthesize its graphene. This method involves the controlled detonation of a hydrocarbon gas, such as acetylene, in the presence of oxygen. While the process is designed to be highly efficient and produce “pristine” and “chemical and solvent-free” graphene, the constituent elements of the precursor materials—carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen—can result in trace amounts of hydrogen and oxygen in the final product.

It is also noteworthy that Hydrograph offers other graphene products, such as their “Reactive Graphene Aggregate,” which is intentionally functionalized to have a higher percentage of oxygen and hydrogen. This tailored composition enhances the graphene’s ability to bond with other materials for specific applications. However, for their standard high-purity fractal graphene, the elemental breakdown remains at the precise levels of 99.8% carbon, 0.05% oxygen, and 0.15% hydrogen.

Bottom line, customers will pay more to increase the levels of oxygen and hydrogen. To call them impurities is a red herring for potential investors trying to understand the perfection that is Hydrograph’s pristine “fractal graphene“. It should be considered a bonus not a detriment.

Case closed.
