Argo Graphene Solutions Reports 56-Day Compressive Strength Test Confirms 25% Total Increase in Graphene-Infused Concrete

ARGO · Price

Executive Summary

  • Argo Graphene Solutions reported 56‑day compressive strength results for its graphene‑infused concrete, achieving 4,974 psi – a 24.35% increase over the 4,000 psi design target.
  • The 28‑day result (4,449 psi) already exceeded the design by 11%, confirming continued strength gain without any additional enhancing additives.
  • CEO Scott Smale highlighted that these results validate the proprietary graphene formulation and support plans to scale production at the Regina facility for broader market adoption.

Key Details

  • Test Overview: Conducted by Diversified Materials Testing LLC in Bristol, Tennessee per ASTM C39 standards on cylinder samples from three on‑grade slabs (total 12.5 m³).
  • Target Design Strength: 4,000 psi compressive strength.
  • 7‑Day Result: 3,428 psi.
  • 28‑Day Result: 4,449 psi – 11% above design target.
  • 56‑Day Result: 4,974 psi – 24.35% above design target.
  • Additive Composition: Graphene and water dilution only; no superplasticizers or other enhancing additives used.
  • Implication: Demonstrates superior performance of graphene‑enhanced concrete versus standard mixes and establishes a baseline for future product development.
  • Future Plans: Ongoing project testing and commercialization efforts; scaling up at Regina, Saskatchewan facility to meet construction industry demand.

Notable Quotes

“The 56‑day compressive strength results are encouraging… The 25% verification increase with no additional enhancing additives now creates a go‑forward performance baseline…” – Scott Smale, CEO
