Applied Graphene Materials (AGM), the producer of specialty graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, has published data to demonstrate that its graphene nanoplatelet dispersions can enable high-performance paints and coatings to effectively protect a substrate against harsh chemicals in highly aggressive environments.
Chemical permeation is a major issue in the protective coatings market. Prolonged contact, from full submersion, splashes, spills, and fumes, with a range of chemical substances can lead to visual discoloration, gloss reduction, and blistering, all of which can have a negative impact on coating performance. As a result, coatings manufacturers strive to develop surface protection systems that can resist chemicals and protect the substrate from contamination.
