Volt Carbon Receives Third U.S. Patent Allowance Strengthening Dry Separation Platform for Graphite Processing
Volt Carbon Receives Third U.S. Patent
Allowance Strengthening Dry Separation
Platform for Graphite Processing
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2026) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT)
(OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt Carbon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a
Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. Patent Application No.
18/823845. This represents the third patent allowance arising from the Company's original filing,
establishing a growing patent portfolio that protects Volt Carbon's proprietary dry separation technology
and its application across graphite processing and advanced carbon materials. With this milestone, the
Company continues to establish a defensible foundation for its dry separation platform as it advances
toward commercial deployment.
Volt Carbon's dry separation process preserves the crystalline structure of graphite at the source. This is
a critical distinction, as conventional wet processing can damage the crystalline structure, lowering yield
and increasing downstream processing requirements. By maintaining crystallinity, Volt Carbon's process
enables more efficient conversion into battery materials, expandable graphite, and graphene, while
supporting reduced processing intensity and environmental impact. The water free and chemical free
nature of the process also reduces material handling and processing time within the facility, supporting
improved throughput, and operational efficiency. This advantage sits at the core of Volt Carbon's
strategy of improving graphite economics and positioning the Company to participate across multiple
high value carbon markets.
The continued expansion of the Company's U.S. patent portfolio strengthens its position as it advances
toward commercial deployment of its dry separation platform, including the development of a scalable
demonstration facility designed to validate the technology under commercial conditions. The patent is
expected to issue following completion of customary administrative procedures and payment of final
fees.
V Bond Lee, CEO, stated: "This third patent allowance strengthens our ability to scale a platform that
preserves material value at the source and supports multiple downstream pathways, including high value
applications such as expandable graphite and graphene. Our objective is straightforward: demonstrate,
commercialize, and move toward cash flow generation."
V Bond Lee is the named first inventor on all of the Company's air classifier patent filings and has over
38 years of product development and engineering management experience, with multiple inventions
implemented in commercial applications, including granted patents across automotive and aerospace.
