Graphene stocks
First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR) announced on September 14, 2026, the successful completion of a 12--month pilot program with a Tier--1 iron ore producer to integrate PureGRAPH® into wear--resistant liners for ore processing equipment. The results demonstrated a 40% increase in the operational lifespan of the liners compared to standard polyurethane components. Consequently, the mining company has issued a purchase order for a full--scale site deployment, with installation scheduled to begin on October 20, 2026. This validation in the heavy industry sector is expected to drive further adoption of graphene--enhanced polymers in abrasive environments.
