Graphene 3D Lab Introduces a New Class of Graphene Material with Exceptional Oil Absorbance Properties

May 16, 2016--Calverton, NY -- Graphene 3D Lab Inc. (TSXV: GGG, OTCQB: GPHBF) ("Graphene 3D" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the development of an innovative graphene material with exceptional oil absorbance properties. The Company has commissioned a new production reactor that results in a 5-fold increase in the production capabilities of Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide. Using this extended capacity, the Company produced a new class of materials: Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide Foams. These foams are in the class of ultralight materials and have density of approximately 20 mg/cm3, which is only about 17 times heavier than air.


Due to the Company's proprietary technology, these new materials can remarkably hold up to 3,500%-8,000% of their own weight of organic solvents and oils, all while being unaffected by water. This attribute could be vital in minimizing the damage caused by oil spills, which in past incidents such as the 1989 Exxon Valdez and the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon have proven to be detrimental from an ecological, social and economical standpoint. Since the world consumes over 3 billion gallons of oil a day, the probability of such catastrophes occurring again is very high. Due to its high oil absorption capacity, our porous solid state foams are an excellent solution for fast and effective oil clean-up. In addition to the aforementioned, these materials also have commercial application in energy storage devices, chemical catalysts and ultrasensitive sensors. 

These new and unique graphene materials will be sold on the Company's e-commerce platform at http://www.graphene-supermarket.com/. The Company welcomes incoming requests for further collaboration and development in this area.
