Here is Talga's graphene in concrete info, notice it came from an unidentified 3rd party lab:

Now, compare those 3rd party results against the Ben Gurion results:

Ben-Gurion University has shown using Zenyatta graphene material in repeated bench scale tests: 

• Faster curing time - from 28 to 8 days (large surface of graphene reacts with cement paste; heat sink) 
• Use 25% less cement therefore reduce CO2 by same amount (1 tonne of cement production = 1 tonne of CO2) 
• Increase compressive and tensile strength by 25-30%

The secret to any composite add mixture is dispersion. If the add mixture does not evenly mix through out the product, in this case cement, it will leave weak links in your products. Now, if you are making sidewalks, who cares but if you are building super structures including bridges and other key infrastructure projects, you better be sure there is no weak points. Albany graphene has been proven to disperse evenly, better than all other sources of graphene by both BGU and Sussex university. 

Talga has no such high level endorsement for their dispersion. They will now work with Heildelberg to test for that quality. My hunch is they will not be there in terms of the necessary dispersion but I could be wrong. The nice thing for us, the cement market is so huge and we only need a small niche at the highest prices. 

Our Choo Choo is coming.

Albany Graphite still stands alone as the standard for high end concrete additive.
