Yes, Welcome to Pocomoke John Lettow and Thank You for choosing this area. We wish you success beyond anything you have imagined.
I wonder what this 'new material' is they are making and then form into a powder and used to make what kind of products? I would think you would want more information.
The new material begins with graphite- same material used in pencils. I will post a couple more links that give more detail very soon.....
