Applications of Graphene :
Light weighting: Light graphene polymers can replace heavier materials and provide the same durability and strength, for lower transport costs and better performance.
Storage: Pallets, boxes, racks, shelves and other storage and transportation tools and equipment can be made more durable.
Consumer Electricity: Graphene polymers can make consumer electronics more durable, enable better screens and give more flexibility to designs
Aerospace: Graphene polymers are lighter and more aerodynamic, improving flight and economics for planes and helicopters .
Energy: Butteries made with graphene polymers will last longer, charge faster and support more charging cycles, improving performance throughout
Auto: From seatbelts to motors, graphene polymers can dramatically change the auto industry, helping improve safety and reduce fuel consumption
Sports Equipment: Graphene polymers can be used to make stronger and better apparel and equipment, everything from fennis racquets to golf clubs to bicycles to skis
Medical : Medical equipment made with enhanced polymers can more efficient, prosthetics can be more durable and lighter

EXAMPLES OF POTENTIAL FINAL PRODUCTS
A flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable way while being lifted by a forklift or other device. A pallet is usually made of wood, plastic, metal, or cardboard and has a standard size and shape.
A head, used for military, firefighting, mining, construction, sports and vehicle operation. Can be made of several shapes and materials to suit the purpose.

High
Rationale :
Wood pallets are cheap but brittle, metal
pallets are durable but heavy and expensive. Gpolymer pallets can be durable at an affordable cost.
Rationale :
Most helmets are made of ABS, polycarbonate or carbon/fiberglass, which can be expensive and have material shortcomings. Gpolymer helmets would be lighter and more durable.
Rationale :
30-50% of parts in vehicles are made with plastic. G-polymer could make those parts more durable and replace certain metal-based parts while making them lighter and less expensive.
Production:
Simple injection molding of pallets based on common standards and regulations.
Production:
Vacuum molding of helmets based on common standards and regulations.
Production:
Vacuum molding or injection molding
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS
USE OF PROCEEDS FOR FIRST 24 MONTHS
We believe that a manufacturing facility with 20 extruders and 60-80 molding machines
to finish product would be able to address the current market opportunity
$200 million
PRODUCTION
Pellet production
20 extruders $60 mn
40 screws w/ proprietary tech $16 mn
Final product
40 molding machines $15 mn
Other finishing machines $15 mn
FACILITIES
Acquisition, build-out, and furnishing of production facility
WORKING CAPITAL
Pellet production
Legal and accounting $2 mn
Marketing, sales and business development $10 mn
Raw materials for production $20 mn

$62 million
PROPOSED FACILITY LAYOUT
To house both the extrusion process as well as the molding process for final products, a proposed facility would need
* 15,000-17,000 m2 in total area
* Ample storage space for incoming raw materials and finished products
* Internal space and logistics to coordinate extrusion and
molding
ASSUMPTIONS: BUILDING OUT PRODUCTION
Because of the 6-9 month lead time to delivery, the first order of business is to order extruders and molding machines to ensure that production starts as quickly as possible
* Production capacity should ramp up according to installation of machinery; actual production and sales will depend on commercial efforts
* Assume 80% of production will go to final product, 20% sold as pellets
