First Graphene Secures First Production Order for Mining Fire-Retardant Application
First Graphene Ltd has secured its first production purchase order from Pacific Urethanes Pty Ltd, an Australian manufacturer of high-performance polyurethane systems. The PureGRAPH® graphene will be used in fire-retardant applications within the mining industry to enhance safety and performance. The collaboration aims to improve fire resistance while maintaining durability and wear resistance essential for harsh mining environments. This marks a new commercial milestone as it introduces both a new customer and application area for First Graphene's product line. The global urethane mining products market is projected to grow from approximately US$2.6 billion annually to around US$3.8 billion by 2032. Pacific Urethanes will initially focus on the Australian market, but there are plans to expand globally. While this initial order does not significantly impact First Graphene's finances, it opens a commercial pathway into an established mining materials sector and introduces fire-retardancy as a new application for PureGRAPH®.
