                        Haydale Graphene Industries plc                        

                         ("Haydale" or the "Company")                          

 Announces Collaboration Agreement with Swansea University's Welsh Centre for  
                        Printing and Coatings ("WCPC")                         

Haydale Graphene Industries plc (AIM:HAYD), the Company focused on enabling
technology for the commercialisation of graphene, is pleased to announce that
it has signed a research and collaboration agreement with the WCPC, one of the
world's leading R&D centres for printing and coating processes, based at
Swansea University.

The WCPC will develop and refine commercial ink formulations supplied by
Haydale to meet the growing interest in graphene based inks and coatings. The
collaboration is also investigating the exploitation of functionalised graphene
and other carbon nano-materials developed by Haydale in areas such as
transparent conductive films, barrier coatings and 3D printing.

Professor Tim Claypole, College of Engineering Swansea University and Director
of WCPC, will lead the WCPC programme.

Commenting, Haydale Chief Executive, Ray Gibbs said:

"Working with the WCPC is a key element of our focus on inks and coatings and
is a great fit for us. Having access to a wide range of nano materials and then
using our unique functionalisation process means we can provide the most
appropriate material for the WCPC to use. In turn, the resources and capability
at the WCPC mean we can move quickly on product development. We have already
successfully produced a consistent quality conductive ink that we are now
starting to market. This collaboration is all about taking the next step
towards the commercial uptake of our inks by demonstrating that we can
successfully functionalise the right material to meet specific manufacturing
needs."

Prof Tim Claypole, founder and director of the WCPC, Swansea University, added
"this is a good example of where the expertise and facilities of the WCPC,
which have been developed with the support of the Welsh Government Academic
Expertise for Business (A4B) programme, are being used to help a help a leading
edge Welsh company grow its highly innovative product portfolio."

"A crucial part of this project is the development of standard operating
procedures for the manufacturing process that will ensure a highly consistent,
quality product. These will form the basis for any future scale up to
commercial production. This understanding of the manufacturing tolerances for
critical parameters will also be fed into International Standards."

"The WCPC will further benefit from this project as it will have an improved
understanding of the operating and quality assurance procedures. This it will
be able to apply to the research into the creation of inks and coatings based
on other novel materials".

About Haydale

Haydale has developed a patent pending proprietary scalable plasma process to
functionalise graphene and other nanomaterials. This enabling technology can
provide Haydale with a rapid and highly cost efficient method of supplying
tailored solutions to enhance applications for both raw material suppliers and
product manufacturers.

Functionalisation is carried out through a low pressure plasma process that
treats both organic mined fine powder and other synthetically produced
nanomaterial powders producing high quality few layered graphenes and graphene
nano platelets. The process can functionalise with a range of chemical groups,
where the amount of chemicals can be tailored to the customer needs. Good
dispersion improves the properties and performance of the host material and
ensures it delivers as specified.

The Haydale plasma process does not use wet chemistry, neither does it damage
the material being processed, rather it can clean up impurities inherent in the
raw material. The technology is a low energy user and most importantly
environmentally friendly. The Haydale method is an enabling technology where
working with a raw material producer can add value to the base product and
tailor the outputs to meet the target applications of the end user.

Haydale, based in South Wales, housed in a purpose built facility for
processing and handling nanomaterials with a laboratory facility, is
facilitating the application of graphenes and other nanomaterials in fields
such as inks, sensors, energy storage, photovoltaics, composites, paints and
coatings.
