OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jul 26, 2016) - Saint Jean Carbon Inc. ("Saint Jean" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SJL), a carbon science company engaged in the exploration of natural graphite properties and related carbon products, is pleased to announce the Company has been invited by the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada as part of a special interest group that will develop and propose standards for graphene made by exfoliation methods from natural graphite.
The NRC sees an excellent opportunity for graphene producers to work together in collaboration with the NRC to determine the optimal techniques to properly characterize graphene and develop standardized methods for use in confidently comparing graphene materials thereby strengthening the graphite industry as a whole.
Paul Ogilvie, CEO, commented: "We are very honoured to be included as one of the companies the NRC will be working with on this initiative. We feel setting standards that will be used by all graphene producers will make a stronger and more measurable material category, that will be better understood and most importantly allow future users of graphene to distinguish between high quality and low performance."
The project is broken into a number of phases; the first phase will take approximately one year to complete.
