Argo Graphene Solutions Reports Graphene-Infused Concrete Test Improves Compressive Strength 11% over Design

ARGO · Price

Executive Summary

  • Argo Graphene Solutions reported an 11% increase (4,449 psi) in 28‑day compressive strength for its graphene‑infused concrete mix versus a 4,000 psi design baseline.
  • The test involved three slabs (totaling 12.5 m³) evaluated on days 7, 21 and 28 by Diversified Materials Testing, LLC in Bristol, Tennessee.
  • Company plans to release 56‑day cylinder break results when available and will update shareholders thereafter.

Key Details

  • Test pour consisted of two 20‑ft × 30‑ft slabs and one 15‑ft × 25‑ft slab, all on grade.
  • ASTM standard compressive strength tests were performed on days 7, 21 and 28.
  • 28‑day results: average compressive strength increased by 11%, reaching 4,449 psi (vs. 4,000 psi design mix).
  • Additional 56‑day cylinder break testing is pending; results will be communicated once obtained.
  • CEO Scott Smale stated the outcomes “validate our thesis and business case of graphene‑infused concrete” and highlighted the recently opened Regina, Saskatchewan facility as a platform for further formulation improvements.
