UK masterbatch specialist Broadway is now a certified HydroGraph Compounding Partner, following successful completion of their rigorous performance testing. The certification process evaluates dispersion capability, processing performance, quality control standards, and commercial readiness to support graphene-enhanced formulations at scale. Broadway has already demonstrated its commercial readiness in the graphene market by launching GrapheneXcel™, its proprietary range of graphene-enhanced masterbatches.

HydroGraph’s Fractal Graphene™ materials, including its flagship FGA-1 product, are engineered to deliver performance improvements at significantly lower loading levels compared to conventional nanoplatelet graphene materials. This partnership supports HydroGraph’s strategy of enabling commercial adoption of graphene through a qualified network of compounders capable of integrating Fractal Graphene™ into scalable thermoplastic formulations. Global demand for advanced composite materials continues to grow across automotive, packaging, electronics, and infrastructure markets, where manufacturers seek lighter, stronger, and more sustainable material solutions.

“Broadway has demonstrated both technical capability and commercial readiness for graphene-enhanced materials,” said Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer, HydroGraph. Certified compounding partners play a critical role in accelerating graphene commercialisation by translating advanced materials into scalable industrial formulations. Broadway’s ability to move quickly from formulation to production supports faster customer adoption of Fractal Graphene™ in high-value applications such as packaging, construction materials, and industrial components where performance, durability, and material efficiency are critical.”

“We are proud to have achieved certification as a HydroGraph Compounding Partner,” said Stephen Rayner, Technical Director, Broadway. “Our experience in advanced masterbatch formulation and underwater pelletising technology enables consistent dispersion of graphene at low addition rates. We look forward to supporting customers seeking enhanced mechanical and functional performance in polymer applications through the integration of Fractal Graphene™.”

As part of HydroGraph’s Compounding Partner Programme, certified partners such as Broadway are qualified to support customers seeking performance improvements, lightweighting, and functional enhancements using graphene at low addition rates.
