planarTECH’s 2AM brand face mask

The two companies had agreed to collaborate to rapidly test and implement the use of PureGRAPH[®] materials into planarTECH’s anti-static coatings for PPE. Initial materials development activities have been completed, and planarTECH will progress to the incorporation of PureGRAPH[®] material in the large-scale manufacturing of the protective face masks. Further graphene enabled products in the PPE sector are expected to emerge from the collaboration in the coming months.

Other Key Terms of Supply Agreement

Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, planarTECH will source graphene products from FGR.

Anticipated usage by planarTECH will be one (1) tonne of PureGRAPH[®] 10 per annum during the first twelve months of the Supply Agreement. If these quantities are met, FGR’s supply of its graphene products to planarTECH will be exclusive for application in the production of planarTECH’s anti-static coatings for sale in Thailand and nonexclusive in other parts of the world.

Each party has the right to early termination if there is a material breach of the obligations of the other party. Additionally, planarTECH has the option to extend the initial 24-month term for an additional 48 months.

There are no other material terms to this contract and the Company is not able to quantify the economic impact on the Company at this time.

Craig McGuckin, Managing Director for First Graphene Ltd., said, “ planarTECH have moved very quickly to test and commercialise their new range of graphene face masks and we are pleased to support the growth of this product. Further opportunities exist in the development of planarTECH’s other PPE equipment.”

Ray Gibbs, Chairman for planarTECH (Holdings) Ltd., said, “We have experienced substantial, rapid and qualified enquiries for the graphene mask. The 35 or so we are pursuing all require a fast turnaround of 2-3 weeks where potential orders could be very significant. This increasing demand has meant we needed to secure a robust graphene supply to ensure we met the known market demand. We have been impressed with the speed of response and high quality, consistent product from First Graphene which is crucial in urgently supplying this much needed product across the world.“
