G6 Materials Corp. (“G6”) is a world-leader in creating value through the development of innovative graphene-based solutions, with a current focus on applying graphene to the air purification market. We are a team of experts in graphene and other advanced materials working to improve product performance and help customers apply novel materials to their businesses.

In 2020, the need for clean indoor air became vital. While various air purifiers are available commercially, these systems have severe limitations as they do not provide effective air filtration for submicron pathogens that are likely to cause health problems. Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic and, locally, the wildfires on the US west coast have resulted in an unprecedented surge in demand for better air purification systems.

To address this market demand, and since graphene possesses extraordinary antimicrobial qualities, G6 is developing a unique proprietary filtration system that eliminates not only fine particles such as dust and pollen but also volatile organic compounds and biological pathogenic microorganisms like fungal spores, bacteria and viruses.

Graphene is a sheet of a single layer of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal network. Graphene’s crystalline structure gives this material unique optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. The 2010 Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to the University of Manchester’s Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for their groundbreaking work in this field. Graphene is the thinnest compound known to man, with transformative potential that has applications in multiple industries.
