NexGen Graphene Polymers Signs Graphene Bearing Supply Contract with Chinese Company

NexGen Graphene Polymers announced that it has signed a basic contract for the development and supply of high heat-resistant plastic graphene polymer bearing materials with Ningbo Gangmaekryung Medical Devices Co., Ltd., based in Ningbo, China.

The tensile strength of the graphene polymer bearing material, known to withstand high temperatures above 220 degrees Celsius, is over 160 MPa, and the friction coefficient is around 0.1.

Polymer bearings are used in various industrial processes and products worldwide. Polymer bearings are replacing metal bearings. They are widely used in fields ranging from bicycles, agriculture, and construction machinery to automobiles, industrial machinery, and aerospace sectors.

Polymer bearings are up to five times lighter than metal bearings. They are easier to maintain compared to metal bearings and are even more cost-effective. However, polymer bearings have been vulnerable to heat and lacked strength, limiting their application as lightweight materials for automotive interior and exterior parts. NexGen Graphene Polymers overcame these limitations by applying graphene dispersion technology to polymer bearings.

NexGen Graphene Polymers is developing graphene polymers as mobility electromagnetic shielding and antistatic materials.

A company representative stated, "Industrial and consumer composite materials applying graphene are receiving positive evaluations both domestically and internationally," adding, "We expect significant growth in the consumer goods sector next year, including bedding products." The representative also added, "We plan to diversify core strategic technologies and items in materials, parts, and equipment to lay the foundation for corporate growth."
