Applied Graphene Materials launches its innovative Genable(tm) platform technology for the incorporation of graphene into coatings formulations.
Following 3 years' intensive development work, driven by direct engagement with global industry partners, Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) has announced the launch of its Genable™ platform dispersion technology for the incorporation of graphene into coatings formulations.
Achieving the consistent and successful incorporation of graphene into existing manufacturing processes and formulations are well understood to be a highly problematic area for those Product Developers seeking to harness the exciting properties of graphene nanoplatelets. The materials technology behind AGM's Genable™ range has been developed to address this critical area.
Genable™ dispersions are long term stable and designed to be delivered easily into existing manufacturing processes, enabling industry formulators to access, consistently, the exciting performance attributes of AGMs A-GNP graphene nanoplatelets.
Available from stock, Genable™ dispersions are supplied in epoxy resins, a range of industry standard carrier solvents (butyl acetate, xylene, MEK, ethyl acetate), as well as water. Genable™ dispersions are also supported by application guidelines, extended performance datasets and considerable formulation know-how within AGM's Technical Group.
Industry innovators are already discovering they can formulate their way to significant performance gains by incorporation of graphene using Genable™ products. The key market area delivering early success for AGM is the application of graphene materials into anti-corrosion barrier coatings, specifically aimed at providing step-change delays in the time to corrosion onset under extended and harsh environmental weathering conditions. Major improvements in anti-corrosion performance can be achieved at very low addition levels, and will have significant implications in reducing total costs associated with the application, maintenance and repair of many industrial coating systems.
