2-5 layers
Most of the products labelled “graphene” on the market are not actually graphene. GUP® is a verified few-layer graphene, with low defects, low oxygen content, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity that can be used for mass application in industry and everyday life.
160 tons
GrapheneUP® built the first industrial production of few-layer graphene in Europe with a proprietary non-oxidative exfoliation method, developed by Ivano Aglietto. This innovative and scalable process allows to produce bulk quantities of graphene with high scalability, with a current production capacity of 160 tons/year
18 GUP® products
We developed intermediary products, dispersions, masterbatches and additives based on graphene GUP®, industry-friendly and adapted to the standard manufacturing processes, for improving the properties of a multitude of materials for hundreds of demanding applications in different markets.
>130 applications
We work with different industries to transfer graphene properties to host materials, incorporating our graphene GUP® into exiting products to enhance their performance or with the purpose to create new innovative commercial products with graphene.
Real & Fake Graphene
Graphene it is a two dimensional material up to 10 layers thick for
electrical measurements, beyond which the electrical properties
of the material are not distinct from graphite. As the number of
layers increases, the distinct characteristics of graphene
diminishes and multy-layer graphene eventually become graphite
loosing all the features unique to graphene. For this reason,
staking of graphene sheets should be limited to few layers, better
if less than 5, to be used in graphene based applications.
What is Graphene
Graphene Functionalization & Dispersion
To create graphene-based products for real market it is not enough to use high-quality graphene, it is necessary to proceed with the right functionalization and proper dispersion. A well dispersed state ensures availability of maximum surface area of graphene, which will affect the neighbouring polymer chains and, consequently, the properties of the whole composite.
GUP® Products
Graphene itself is not always suitable as a drop-in solution to create final commercial products. GUP® Products, offer a solution to this problem, enabling customers to proceed in a more affordable way to create their own graphene-based products for the market, incorporating GUP® into existing products to enhance their performance or with the purpose to create new innovative commercial products with graphene.
As little as few grams of few-layer graphene GUP® can change many materials and enhance several properties, right now. GUP® can dramatically and reliably outperforms existing technologies at a reasonable cost and contribute to speed up the development of new graphene based products into the market

GUP® is a few-layer graphene in accordance with the ISO/TS 80004-13:2017, with large lateral size, low oxygen content, high aspect ratio and low defects produced with an innovative non-oxidative direct exfoliation process
GUP® DP Glycerol is a dispersion of graphene GUP® into glycerol designed to provide a solution to use predispersed graphene for several applications as well as a variety of industrial and scientific uses.
ADEPOXYGUP® is an additive masterbatch based on GUP® few layer graphene combined with silica, specifically designed to provide superior mechanical properties to epoxy resin for the use in very demanding reinforced composites.
ADDIGUP® S is an additive based on GUP® few-layer graphene specifically designed to provide superior physical properties to solvent borne paints and coatings while retaining mechanical properties, minimally impacting the rheological properties of the host material.
GUP® ADMIXTURE is a water-based dispersion of few layer graphene GUP® specifically designed to enhance the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of cementitious materials.
GRAFIM® is a graphene-based product for groundwater, municipal and drinking water treatment. The first graphene-based media introduced into the market for real scale applications.
Wherever they are used, graphene-based smart textiles provide added value in terms of improved performance or comfort.
