The producer of speciality graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, announced that its customer, Halo Autocare Limited, a leading innovator in car care products, has launched Graphene Alloy Wheel Wax as part of its EZ Car Care range of products.

The microcrystalline wax-based polish is the result of the continued partnership and a rigorous testing programme delivered by Halo Autocare. This has produced a new product that delivers extended performance benefits, including improved thermal and chemical resistance to enhance coating durability further for demanding wheel and exhaust applications.

In addition, all ancillary services and service providers are now on site to support drilling operations.
The primary objectives of the well are to drill a mildly deviated well (8 degree maximum inclination) to an approximate true vertical depth (“TVD”) of 9,815 feet, so that the Company can acquire up to 100 feet of continuous core from the Cane Creek reservoir. The Company also plans to run a comprehensive well log suite across the entire Paradox Formation, which includes the primary Cane Creek reservoir target and at least five other potential reservoir zones, in order to gain additional insight into the potential of those secondary targets. Drilling operations are expected to take 30-40 days from this point forward, and the results from the analysis of the core and logs are expected within three months from the completion of drilling.
