BeDimensional’s products have transformative applications in the coatings industry, addressing critical challenges in durability, sustainability and performance.

BeDimensional has inaugurated its state-of-the-art BEFAB production plant in Genoa (Italy) becoming the world’s first facility capable of industrial-scale production of two-dimensional crystals with atomic-level precision.

Among its innovative materials, BeDimensional focuses on G-Leaf, a few-layer graphene (FLG) powder, and B-Leaf, a few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (FLhBN) powder, which are revolutionising high-performance coatings. Indeed, these advanced materials enhance durability, thermal conductivity, and UV resistance in paints and coatings while contributing to sustainable and efficient industrial processes.

G-Leaf (Few-Layer Graphene):

  • UV Protection and Aging Resistance: Used in advanced paints and coatings, G-Leaf offers superior protection against ultraviolet radiation and environmental degradation.
  • Thermal Activity: G-Leaf-based thermally active paints for construction improve heat management, enhancing energy efficiency in buildings.
  • Enhanced Durability: Strengthens plastics and composites used in coatings, providing extended lifecycle benefits.

B-Leaf (Few-Layer Hexagonal Boron Nitride):

  • Anti-Corrosion Properties: An exceptional choice for coatings in harsh environments, B-Leaf protects materials from chemical and mechanical wear.
  • Thermal Conductivity: Ideal for applications requiring heat dissipation, ensuring coatings remain functional under extreme conditions.
  • Luxury Aesthetics: As a chemically resistant and visually appealing material, B-Leaf is redefining high-end finishes for fashion and wearable technology.

By integrating these 2D materials into coatings, BeDimensional is setting a new standard for performance and sustainability. Its technologies promise to reduce Europe’s reliance on critical material imports while driving industrial innovation across multiple sectors.
