- BeDimensional aims to increase production of these two-dimensional crystals for industrial use at competitive costs.
- The funds will increase capacity to produce two-dimensional crystals more than tenfold to over 30 tonnes a year by 2028.
- BeDimensional will build a second plant in Italy to scale up production of FLG and FLB by 2027.
- The firm's technologies are applied across industries, in energy storage and conversion, smart textiles, paints, coatings, and composite materials.
- Quality checking and stringent quality control standards ensure high-performance, durability and enhanced functionality for the materials produced.
- The company plans to use graphene instead of graphite to tackle supply chain issues and risks related to raw material sourcing for 2D crystals.
- BeDimensional technology has been formulated into paints for companies in the energy and marine sectors to improve thermal management and protect against corrosion, UV damage, and ageing.
