Commercializing patented technology to produce high-quality graphene flakes for licensing to manufacturers across multiple industries.

• Patented technology: Protected by 58 patents in 40 countries, with more pending.
• Backed by industry leaders: Supported by Panasonic and federal grants.
• Massive market opportunity: LTDF graphene applicable to over 45 industries.
• Scalable production: Modular reactor system enables industrial-scale output.
• Licensing model: Capital-light approach to distribute technology to manufacturers.

Avadain is raising funds to accelerate the commercialization of its patented technology for producing high-quality graphene flakes—specifically, large, thin, and defect-free (LTDF) graphene. These advanced graphene flakes possess properties that make them suitable for transforming performance across dozens of industries, including aerospace, energy storage, national defense, and healthcare. This fundraising round will support the development of a pilot production unit, process optimization, intellectual property expansion, and general operations. Avadain aims to license its proprietary manufacturing process to chemical manufacturers and critical industries that require scalable and consistent access to high-grade graphene.

Positioned at the forefront of material science innovation, Avadain has attracted over $14 million in combined dilutive and non-dilutive capital to date and is backed by partners such as Panasonic and the U.S. federal government. With a strong portfolio of 58 patents across 40 countries, Avadain stands out in a landscape where hundreds of companies produce suboptimal forms of graphene. Its LTDF graphene is designed to deliver the material’s full range of extraordinary properties—extreme strength, conductivity, flexibility, and lightness—enabling product improvements with just fractional additive use. The funds raised will enable Avadain to scale its modular production approach, bringing industrial volumes of high-quality graphene to market and empowering customers to create stronger, lighter, and more efficient products.

Company Info

Avadain develops and licenses patented technology to produce high-quality graphene flakes for use as industrial additives across multiple sectors.

Avadain is a technology company specializing in the production of large, thin, defect-free (LTDF) graphene flakes through a patented electrochemical exfoliation process. Unlike conventional graphene materials such as nanoplatelets or graphene oxide, Avadain’s LTDF graphene maintains the full range of graphene’s physical and chemical properties, making it suitable as a transformative additive across a wide range of industries. The company’s modular and scalable technology enables production at industrial volumes, targeting applications in sectors such as defense, space exploration, energy storage, microelectronics, and advanced manufacturing. Avadain’s process preserves the natural flake size of graphite while preventing oxidation and defects, setting it apart in a crowded field of more than 400 companies claiming to produce graphene.

Avadain operates a capital-light licensing model, providing manufacturers and mission-critical users access to its proprietary production method while avoiding the need for large-scale manufacturing infrastructure. The company’s intellectual property portfolio includes 58 granted patents in 40 countries, supporting its global commercialization efforts. With ongoing pilot plant development and scaling of its reactor design, Avadain is working closely with partners like Harcros Chemicals to bring LTDF graphene to market. As global demand for high-performance materials grows, Avadain is positioned to play a central role in the commercialization of graphene as a foundational material for the next industrial revolution.
