Founded in 2016, KB ELEMENT produces pristine graphene via an atmospheric-pressure plasma process that skips oxidation and reduction steps, compressing production into five stages and reducing wastewater. The company reports commercial-scale manufacturing capacity of up to 21 metric tons of graphene powder and 2,100 metric tons of graphene dispersion per year. It has established commercial traction across multiple industries and is expanding in high-value-added dispersion and composite materials markets. KB ELEMENT plans to launch a masterbatch product in the second half of 2026 to simplify graphene incorporation for polymer manufacturers and broaden adoption in sectors such as electric vehicles and outdoor gear. Financially, the company has raised $20.6 million to date, including the recent $9.4 million Series B, and is allocating capital to R&D, sales, core technology development, and accelerated commercialization.
