Masterbatch for elastomers

Directa Plus was a pioneer in the application of G+® Graphene Plus in the elastomer field, creating a unique formulation for bicycle tires.
Thanks to the expertise acquired in this sector, we move forward the development of ready-to-use masterbatches for the industrial application, especially for technical goods, membranes, hoses and O-rings. The masterbatch designed for these applications is ZAPP G+® A polyolefin based masterbatch of pristine graphene nanoplatelets. This material is produced without using any surfactants nor processing aids, thus providing a high purity pristine graphene product ready to use. 
Zapp G+®, being in granules form, dramatically facilitate the incorporation of graphene nanoplatelets into final compound and ensures a faster dispersion and distribution compared to traditional fillers.
ZAPP G+® consists of granules made by pristine graphene nanoplatelets and polyolefin.

Description

G+®️ in tires
G+®️ in all kind of tires enhances dynamic mechanical properties, heat dissipation and impermeability.

G+®️ in technical rubber items
G+®️ enhances mechanical and dynamic properties and improves processability (dimensional stability and surface finishing).

G+®️ in shoes outsoles
With a tailor-made patented compound enhanced with G+®️, we can work directly on the outer surface or on the entire sole, depending on the material.

G+®️ in golf balls
G+®️ can be used to enhance the hard core of professional balls to obtain a good shot distance without losing lateral control.

Commercial consumer products

  • On-road
  • off-road
  • MTB and e-bike tyres
Case history

Bicycle tires with G®

More than 2 million bicycle tyres enhanced with G+® produced and distributed worldwide. G+® is ideal for all kind of tyres, from mountain-bike and city-bike tyres, to car and motorcycle, and rethread.

Outsole shoe with G+®

With a tailor-made patented compound enhanced with G+® we can work directly on the outer surface or on the entire sole, depending on the material, to achieve incredible properties.

Golf ball

The hard core of golf balls can be enhanced with G+® to obtain a good shot distance without losing lateral control, guaranteeing an incredible swing and a good control.
