Who is Universal Matter?

Universal Matter is a rapidly emerging global leader in advanced applied materials dedicated to transforming industries with innovative, high-quality sustainable solutions that help decarbonize our planet.

With our groundbreaking Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology, we are setting new industry standards by delivering cost-effective, performance-enhancing solutions to key markets including asphalt and cement, tire and rubber, paints and coatings, and composites.

Universal Matter high-quality solutions will enhance asset life for many industrial materials. These performance benefits combined with our experienced and knowledgeable team make us the preferred partner for businesses committed to excellence and environmental responsibility.

Join us as we work toward a sustainable future for the industries that shape our world.

Our patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) process produces high quality graphene and related advanced materials from sustainable and inexpensive carbon sources in minutes. The short burst of electricity breaks all chemical bonds and reorders the carbon into thin layers of turbostratic graphene and related materials. All non-carbon-based impurities are flashed off and the resulting products are >99% carbon. This new manufacturing process can be used on many carbon-based feedstocks, including petroleum coke, metallurgical coke, biomass, carbon from recycled plastic and rubber, methane derived carbon, and even food waste. FJH creates high quality graphene with 3 distinct morphologies providing our graphene superior properties that are critical for large industries.

Headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, with U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries and Innovation Centers in Houston, TX and Redcar, UK. Universal Matter’s vision is to become the leading supplier of high quality and sustainable graphene and advanced materials to decarbonize our planet. We upcycle diverse solid carbon streams (including waste) into graphene/graphitized carbon to decarbonize major industrial products thereby enabling significant GHG emissions reductions and circular economy creation.

POTENTIAL FOR GHG REDUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING (INDUSTRY 5.0)

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value.

The flash graphene process can convert inexpensive carbon sources, such as coal, petroleum coke, methane derived carbon, and carbon black into graphene/graphitized carbon. Additionally, previous waste or low value recycling streams such as bio based waste, tire waste, and mixed plastic waste can also be effectively converted into graphene via this new process. Finally, this process uses no reactor/furnace, no solvents and no reactive gases.

Our expertise

Universal Matter’s patented breakthrough Flash Joule Heating (FJH) Technology provides cost-effective production of high-quality graphene/graphitized carbon at industrial scale. FJH creates high quality graphene with 3 distinct morphologies providing our graphene with superior properties that are critical for large industries. Unlike our competitors with only 2D morphology, 1D, 2D, and 3D tunable morphologies from FJH adds critical value to high volume industrial applications while reducing their carbon footprint.

Of equal importance is our ability to disperse the graphene in a variety of liquid or solid mediums that are safe to handle, provide easy incorporation into downstream industrial products, and ensure an effective interaction with other key materials in the final product. This is the key to achieve breakthrough performance in the final markets/applications.
