Graphene One and Armor Guys Achieve Renewed ACC Certification as Verified Graphene Producer and Product Supplier
Advanced Carbons Council has re-certified Graphene One LLC and Armor Guys, known for the Kyorene® and GrapheNova® brands, under its Verified Graphene Product and Verified Graphene Producer programmes, recognising their vertically integrated advanced carbons operations.
Manchester, UK
The Advanced Carbons Council Limited (ACC), the global trade association supporting the production, adoption, and commercialisation of engineered advanced carbon materials, is proud to announce that Graphene One LLC and Armor Guys has been re-certified by the Advanced Carbons Council for Verified Graphene Product and Verified Graphene Producer Certifications and has been awarded the newly recognized Vertically Integrated Advanced Carbons producer.
Advanced Carbons Council Limited commented:
"We have worked with Graphene One and Armor Guys for many years now. They were the very first company to achieve dual verification for both their graphene production and for the growing range of products that contain graphene, especially in the hand protection gloves category. Because they produce the graphene and the graphene enhanced products, they qualify as a Vertically Integrated producer. It is testament to their dedication to quality that they have successfully and consistently achieved ACC Verified status."
Terrance Barkan, Executive Director, Advanced Carbons Council
Graphene One LLC, Armor Guys and Kyorene® commented:
"We are honored to have successfully completed our ACC re-verification and proud to continue setting the standard for transparency, consistency, and innovation in the graphene industry.Since 2009, we have been dedicated to developing graphene technologies and manufacturing graphene-based materials, transforming graphene from a promising material into practical, commercially successful applications. This achievement reflects the hard work, passion, and commitment of our teams across Asia, Europe, and North America, and I would like to sincerely thank every member of our global organization, as well as ACC for their continued support.Today, Kyorene® is recognized as the leading graphene brand in the PPE industry, with our graphene-enhanced gloves trusted by workers around the world. As we look to the future, we are excited to expand graphene commercialization even further with the launch of GrapheneNova™, our new graphene-enhanced 3D printing filament platform.We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the past 17 years, but even more excited about what lies ahead. Our mission remains the same: to continue innovating, creating real-world applications, and helping drive the adoption of graphene across industries worldwide.”

About the Verified Graphene Product Programme
The ACC's Verified Graphene Producer, Product and Vertically Integrated Testing Programmes are an independent, science-based certification initiative designed to bring transparency and credibility to the growing market for bona fide graphene materials and for graphene-enhanced products. As graphene adoption accelerates across global industries, ACC’s verification programmes addresses a critical market need: ensuring that products claiming to be, contain or benefit from graphene actually deliver on those claims.
To achieve certification, both materials and products must undergo rigorous independent laboratory testing to verify:
- The presence and quality of graphene material incorporated into the product
- Compliance with internationally recognised standards including ISO 9651 for graphene identification and quantification
Only products and companies that satisfy all verification criteria are awarded the ACC's Verified designation, giving end-users, regulators, and supply chain partners confidence in the authenticity of graphene content and its claimed benefits.
