Join HydroGraph’s Compounding Partner Program and lead the commercial adoption of graphene-enhanced thermoplastics using Fractal Graphene™ – engineered for performance at ultra-low loadings.

The Opportunity

Graphene has promised transformational performance in polymers for over a decade. The bottleneck for end users has been no clear cost benefit due to material quality – and for compounders it’s been a lack of reliable, scalable, and consistent supply.

HydroGraph’s Compounding Partner Program was created to solve that problem.

This initiative establishes a select, qualified network of plastic compounders with proven expertise in graphene-enhanced thermoplastics. Early partners are already piloting next-generation formulations across automotive and packaging, unlocking lighter, stronger, and more resource-efficient materials at commercial scale.

Why Fractal Graphene™ Changes the Equation

Fractal Graphene™ is a turbostratic graphene manufactured via HydroGraph’s patented detonation synthesis process – designed from day one for industrial scale.

What sets it apart:

• 99.8% carbon purity (in the form of graphene) with highly consistent morphology
• Low concentration makes it more economical compared to regular graphene nanoplatelets
• Mechanical enhancement at ultra-low concentrations, preserving processability compared to conventional reinforcing fillers
• Reduced product weight, lower material usage, faster cycle times, reduced cost and improved sustainability profile
• Produced using a low-energy, low-carbon-intensity manufacturing method

The result: graphene that delivers economic and environmental benefits.

What the Compounding Partner Program Delivers

HydroGraph partners with compounders who are ready to lead, not follow.

Qualified partners receive:

• Technical qualification & certification aligned with HydroGraph’s performance, quality, and consistency benchmarks
• Direct access to HydroGraph’s technical lab, processing know-how, and application expertise
• Training and knowledge transfer on graphene handling, dispersion, and formulation
• Business referrals and commercial leads from HydroGraph’s customer pipeline
• Participation in a vetted supply chain, giving end customers confidence in graphene-enhanced compounds

“Establishing a select network of certified compounders allows HydroGraph to ensure consistent processing of Fractal Graphene™ at commercial scale. This initiative provides end customers with a vetted supply chain for sourcing graphene-enhanced compounds with confidence.”     — Kjirstin Breure, President & CEO, HydroGraph

Designed for Advanced Compounders

The program is purpose-built for compounders with:

• Strong thermoplastic processing and formulation capabilities
• Robust quality control and consistency systems
• A track record of innovative product development
• Customers seeking lighter, stronger, more sustainable materials

Certified partners support applications across automotive, construction, packaging, agriculture, textiles, and beyond – markets where polymer nanocomposites are forecast to grow at 17.4% CAGR, reaching $36.8B by 2032.

Flexible, Partner-First Commercial Models

HydroGraph believes successful partnerships are built on flexibility and transparency.

Typical engagement models include:

• Independent supply model: HydroGraph supplies Fractal Graphene™ powder; partners supply masterbatch and compounds to customers
• Collaborative development:
  • HydroGraph provides compounded development samples (toll manufactured by partner)
  • Joint development projects with shared value creation, tailored by opportunity
