Vancouver, British Columbia – August 22, 2025 – Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO | OTCQB: ARLSF | Frankfurt: 94Y) (“Argo” or the “Company”), a leader in innovative graphene-based technologies, is pleased to announce it has signed a working relationship agreement with Ceylon Graphene Technologies (Pvt) Ltd (“Ceylon”), a leading manufacturer of high-grade graphene oxide derived from 99% pure vein graphite.
The agreement, effective August 1, 2025, stipulates that Ceylon will supply regular shipments of high-grade graphene oxide paste (20% Graphene Oxide or better) to Argo. Argo will mix the high-grade concentrate paste to the required dispersions as per Ceylon direction that is suitable for use in concrete, cement, and asphalt applications. Argo will integrate the liquid dispersion into its planned North American distribution network, with potential for global expansion. The agreement establishes a minimum order volume of 1000 litres. ARGO has committed to scaling its purchases to a minimum of 4000 litres of high-grade Graphene Oxide paste over term of the agreement.
Ceylon Graphene is known for possessing the most comprehensive and advanced concrete testing data to date in the graphene-enhanced cement and concrete additive space. Ceylon and Argo will collaborate by sharing data and exchanging expertise in product design, mixing processes, and liquid dispersion techniques to support the development of advanced integral additives for construction materials. Argo will assist in progressing innovative technologies developed by Ceylon, helping facilitate distribution and market testing where needed. The agreement also includes a provision for Ceylon to receive a pre-agreed royalty on sales generated from competitor customers it introduced within Argo’s operational regions.
The agreement has an initial term of two years, with an option for annual extensions, and includes terms for quality assurance, intellectual property protection, and cooperation. Both parties are committed to exploring a future joint venture manufacturing agreement to further optimize production and reduce costs.
Scott Smale, Argo president and CEO states, “This collaboration leverages Ceylon’s expertise in producing high-quality graphene oxide from one of the purest forms of vein graphite in the world and Argo’s construction knowledge and capabilities in product development to distribution. The cost savings of shipping paste vs liquid makes the economics of integrating graphene into our mix a very competitive product.”
Graphene infused concrete, cement, and asphalt represent a significant advancement in construction materials. By integrating graphene into traditional mixtures, these materials exhibit notable improvements in mechanical and durability properties. Laboratory and field data suggest minimum increases of approximately 30% compressive strength, 24% tensile strength, 23% in flexural strength. Durability metrics also show substantial gains, including up to 70% greater resistance to abrasion and 400% reduction in water permeability. These enhancements contribute to longer service life, reduced maintenance requirements, and potential reductions in material usage. The technology aligns with sustainable construction while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
