ProtoKinetix, Inc. (OTCMKTS: PKTX) is a materials technology company focused on the recovery and production of high-purity graphite and graphene-related powders from industrial byproducts. Founded in 2013 and headquartered near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ProtoKinetix has developed a proprietary microwave‐enhanced pyrolysis process that extracts and refines graphite particles from steel mill flue dust. By converting a steel‐making waste stream into valuable advanced carbon materials, the company addresses both environmental remediation and supply chain demands for specialty graphite.
The company’s core product line includes micronized graphite and few‐layer graphene powders, which are marketed under the “Graph-X” brand. These powders offer high surface area, thermal conductivity, and electrical performance, making them suitable for applications in lithium‐ion batteries, conductive coatings, polymer composites, and lubricant additives. ProtoKinetix operates a pilot‐scale reactor facility in Western Pennsylvania, where it conducts toll‐processing for steel producers and performs contract research to tailor material properties for end‐user specifications.
In addition to its materials business, ProtoKinetix provides process development and licensing services for partners seeking to implement its microwave pyrolysis platform. The company’s technical team includes engineers and materials scientists with expertise in carbon nanotechnology, industrial processing, and quality assurance. This in-house expertise enables ProtoKinetix to manage feedstock variability and to scale production volumes in response to growing market demand for advanced carbon materials.
Currently serving customers in North America, ProtoKinetix is exploring strategic partnerships and export opportunities in Asia and Europe, where demand for battery-grade graphite and graphene additives is on the rise. Under the leadership of its executive management team, the company continues to refine its process technology, expand production capacity, and position itself as a sustainable supplier of high‐value carbon materials to emerging clean energy and advanced manufacturing sectors.
