GC is a leading international startup in nano-materials engineering. We apply our expertise in graphene and other nano-materials to deliver breakthrough technologies that could improve the quality of life - from our GC Ink that is very effective against coronavirus, to our GC Shield for ballistic protection.
GC is a leading international startup in nanomaterials engineering; 2020 Platinum Award winner in the global Mass Challenge technology competition. In the midst of this Covid-19 pandemic, we successfully developed our patent-pending GC Ink - which has been independently tested to show 99.97% effectiveness in filters versus SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus that causes Covid-19), and 100% effectiveness in one minute versus Human Coronavirus OC43 and Influenza A H1N1 virus in early tests. Now working with a wide range of partners to deploy GC Ink worldwide.
Our GC Shield ballistic armour business continues to progress with police/military GC Patrol Shield in pilot production; and we continue to develop our GC technologies for wind turbines and structural composites. All of our GC technologies are covered by patents registered or pending.
We established our GC USA subsidiary in 2019; it will be an anchor tenant in the Nanomaterials Center of Excellence at the new 401 Tech Bridge Advanced Materials Center in Rhode Island, USA, with two initial focus areas: GC Ink for filters in ventilation systems, and GC Shields for ballistic protection. We are also extending our GC Shield technologies to make wind turbines more durable and resilient. We have also established our GC Norway subsidiary to develop similar opportunities across Europe.
