Mito Material Solutions (Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.) has harnessed its patented technology platform into ready-to-pour hybrid additives with both chemical and physical bonding points. Mito has experience working with customers on simplifying the complexity of process adoption to make graphene use easier and lower barriers to entry for manufacturers.

The Mito family of products include graphene additive, E-Go and cornstarch-based, Acre. Mito’s products give fiber-reinforced composites and thermoplastics lab-verified improvements in strength, durability, flexibility, functionality and sustainability. According to Mito, all of its products are easily dispersible, safe-to-handle, scalable solutions designed to empower manufacturers.

“The Mito Res-1 offering is another great example of Mito’s commitment to lower barriers to entry for manufacturers who want to see what functionalized graphene can do in their products,” notes Haley Marie Keith, CEO and cofounder of Mito. “The possibilities with graphene are limitless, but this new product line gives the power of engineering back to the manufacturers to build anything from stronger and lighter boats to snowboards to bikes and more.”

Building graphene into a product from the start invites people to think differently about their materials and find more options. The Mito team takes scheduled meetings to answer questions about taking graphene out of the lab and into real-world applications.
