What is Kaalink?
Kaalink is a cylindrical device that is retrofitted into a diesel generators’ exhaust system or exhaust pipe to collect the emissions. It can collect up to 93% of the total exhaust, which is then processed to remove heavy metals and carcinogens. The end-product from this device is a purified carbon-based pigment.
How does Kaalink device work?
The Kaalink works by imparting a positive electrostatic charge on particulates exiting an exhaust pipe, which are then drawn to a negatively charged chamber. A bypass system allows air and water vapor to pass through, so there’s no back pressure or impact on engine performance.
What are Graviky labs?

What are AIR-INK pens?
AIR-INK is the world’s first ink, created from air pollution. Formulated by Graviky Labs as a response to Asia’s growing air pollution problem, it uses cutting edge technology to collect toxic pollutants from the air and transforms it into tools for art and design.
Can you buy AIR-INK?
AIR-INK is currently available as 2mm, 15mm, 30mm and 50mm markers, and as 150ml of screen printing ink. AIR-INK is made out of air pollution particulate matter––namely the unburned carbon soot you see coming out of the exhaust pipe of cars, chimneys, generators, and more.
What is carbon tile?
Carbon Craft Design is a Goa based design and material innovation startup building architectural and interior products by upcycling carbon. In January 2020, we launched Carbon Tile, the first tile to be made with upcycled carbon. We’re into carbon upcycling solutions for architects, businesses and end customers.
