The Comparison

How we make our claims.

Garmor

Fabrication

  • Patented mechanical process to change graphite into "edge-oxidized" GrapheneX GO.

Hummer

Fabrication

  • Process uses harsh chemicals. Creates excessive oxidation (epoxide) across surface and edges.

Garmor

Oxidation Impact

  • Edge-only oxidation leaves basal plane undamaged and preserves the strength and functionality.

Hummer

Oxidation Impact

  • Oxygen molecules cover surface creating clumps and preventing full dispersion and bonding.

Garmor

Environmental Impact

  • Environmentally friendly. Zero waste produced.

Hummer

Environmental Impact

  • Hazardous waste produced. Disposal is expensive.

Garmor

Price

  • Patented process creates commodity pricing levels.

Hummer

Price

  • Avg. $200 / gram. Expensive because chemicals, intensive processing, and toxic waste disposal.

- Application Comparison -

Garmor

Polymers

  • Added in the monomer phase. Oxidized edges covalently bond with monomer. .5 micron diameter passes through mfr's filters.

Hummer

Polymers

  • Added in the hot mix phase. No covalent bonding. GO is too large to pass through mfr's filters.

Garmor

Cement

  • Only GO which improves cement strength by 40-50% with commercially viable scale and pricing.

Hummer

Cement

  • Negligible improvement. Not produced at commercially viable scale and pricing.

Garmor

Lithium-Ion Batteries

  • Highly electrically conductive. 70% increase over typical Lithium-Ion graphite.

Hummer

Lithium-Ion Batteries

  • GO not electrically conductive. rGO too expensive.
