HydroGraph to Showcase Fractal Graphene Paste™ at The Advanced Materials Show USA

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) (“HydroGraph” or the “Company”) today announced that it will present its newly launched Fractal Graphene Paste™ at The Advanced Materials Show USA on October 6, highlighting how the Company’s high-concentration, ready-to-use graphene dispersion addresses a key challenge to broader commercial adoption of graphene.

Additionally, HydroGraph will host a key stage presentation, as Tarek Jalloul, Business Development Manager - North America at HydroGraph, will present “Fractal Graphene Paste - Setting a New Standard in Graphene Dispersions” from 12:40 p.m. to 12:55 p.m. on October 6 on the Sessions stage inside the exhibition hall.

Fractal Graphene Paste™ is a pre-dispersed aqueous product containing 20% graphene by weight. While commercial graphene dispersions are typically available at concentrations of approximately 1% to 5%, HydroGraph’s formulation remains fully flowable at its higher concentration and has a shelf life of more than two years. The product maintains an ultrafine particle size distribution with a D50 of approximately 35 nanometres and can be incorporated into water-based formulations using standard mixing equipment without specialized dispersion processing.

“Commercial adoption of graphene depends on making the material practical for manufacturers to incorporate into products,” said Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph. “Fractal Graphene Paste™ was developed to address that challenge by combining a high graphene concentration with long-term stability and straightforward integration. The Advanced Materials Show gives us an opportunity to demonstrate these capabilities directly to manufacturers and development partners evaluating graphene for commercial applications.”

During the presentation, Jalloul will discuss the technical challenges associated with dispersing graphene in water-based systems and how HydroGraph combines the ultrafine morphology of its Fractal Graphene™ with proprietary stabilization chemistry and processing methods to maintain a homogeneous dispersion at high concentrations. He will also discuss potential applications across coatings, concrete and construction materials, thermal management systems, elastomers, and other water-based formulations.

“The industry has understood the potential of graphene for years, but manufacturers still need practical ways to incorporate it into existing processes,” said Jalloul. “Our goal with Fractal Graphene Paste™ is to remove much of that processing complexity and give customers an application-ready format that lets them focus on what graphene can do for their product.”

Jalloul brings approximately 10 years of experience across graphene markets and applications, with a focus on commercialization and strategic partnerships involving nanomaterials, composites, plastics, coatings, concrete, and rubber. He has worked across multiple levels of the supply chain to support the development and commercialization of graphene-enhanced products.

The presentation follows the commercial launch of Fractal Graphene Paste™ and HydroGraph’s ongoing efforts to expand access to application-ready graphene products. More than 30 customers have received samples of Fractal Graphene Paste™ for evaluation across multiple application areas. HydroGraph currently has capacity to provide research and development samples and early production quantities, with plans to scale production in response to customer demand.
