Sparc released today a 16-week ISO 12944 cyclic corrosion results showing a 25% improvement in scribe creep for a commercial solvent-based coating dosed with ecosparc containing HydroGraph Fractal Graphene, versus the unmodified coating today. That follows earlier water-based tests that reached up to 60% improvement. A longer 25-week test is still running, with results due in November; only then would the companies negotiate a supply agreement under the March 2026 LOI.

"The testing has been conducted in Sparc’s laboratories under ISO 12944-62 methodology and has demonstrated 25% improvement in the corrosion resistance (scribe creep3) of a commercially available solvent-based coating dosed with ecosparc® containing HydroGraph Fractal Graphene. The 16-week results correspond to the cyclic ageing exposure specified under ISO 12944-6 for C5 Very High (C5-VH) durability. ISO 12944 is widely recognized as the premier international standard for assessing the corrosion protection of steel structures by protective coating systems. Subject to successful testing outcomes from extended 25-week (4,200 hour) testing, due in November 2026, the parties intend to negotiate a definitive commercial supply and collaboration agreement relating to Sparc’s ecosparc® additives."

"Sparc Managing Director, Mr Nick O’Loughlin commented:
The results of 16-week cyclic corrosion testing of ecosparc® additives using HydroGraph’s Fractal Graphene are highly encouraging and provide further confidence in the prospect of deepening our collaboration with HydroGraph in protective coatings. Securing sources of high quality, sustainably produced, western supply of graphene remains a key focus for Sparc as it builds its customer base and expands its product range across multiple high-value coating segments."

Your timing may turn out to be perfect.

We've known for a long time what steps were needed to boost this share price, and a number of things are going to happen between now and the end of the year that will boost the price.

I had some money tied up in Alt coins/Hbar and decided to liquidate after the clairity act vote failed today

Decided to buy even more SPARC - which in my opinion is not as risky as crypto but still a gamble for sure

Hoping for a really good result from the coating trial in Late November

Graphene has always been a tough space for commercial scaling. Following promotional hype requires doing tight risk management.

Up to 12%

A document from the British court surface is all over the message boards and X

ChatGPT had this to say

Court allows the process to proceed ? good.
Redomicile becoming more concrete ? good.
U.S. corporate structure/uplisting strategy moving forward ? good.
“No Canadian exit tax” ? not established yet.

Still no circular that I can see. I thought we'd have that by now.

This court rolling was just released on Monday the 14th

They might have needed a couple extra days to include this update

Mechanical Design Engineer:

This role innovates, models, designs, builds, and validates off-the-shelf, modified, and bespoke equipment, translating engineering principles and simulation into equipment that meets new product requirements. The Mechanical Design Engineer is expected to have a strong, practical understanding of machine design, drawings, and tolerance stack-ups, is comfortable working with fabricators and vendors to specify machine components, and favors off-the-shelf commercial components where practical.



That's an interesting one.

Midland Compounders is doubling their capacity. If you go to their website, it is obvious that HGRAF is their primary customer. HGRAF is mentioned all over the place.

Midland 2x

If I ask Gemini why Midland is expanding, I get this reply:

quote:

This major capacity surge is driven by two primary factors:

1. Advanced Graphene Partnership with HydroGraph

In July 2026, MCC officially became a certified U.S. compounding partner for HydroGraph Clean Power Inc.. HydroGraph produces high-purity graphene, a nanomaterial that dramatically enhances the strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties of plastics. Because MCC specializes in engineering resins (like ABS, polycarbonate, and nylon), they are expanding to scale up the commercial production of these new, advanced carbon-based composite materials for high-value industrial and aerospace applications. [1, 2]

2. Rising Demand in the Midwest Automotive Hub

MCC has a long history of developing specialized composites for major automotive manufacturers like Ford Motor Company. With the automotive sector pushing heavily for lightweight materials, advanced engineering resins, and sustainable closed-loop recycling technologies, MCC is rapidly scaling to bridge the gap from rapid laboratory prototyping (5 lbs) to full-scale commercial production (40,000 lbs). [1, 2]
