Gerdau Graphene, the nanotechnology company pioneering advanced graphene-enhanced materials for industrial applications, announced the availability of NanoCORR Shield, the newest product from its G2D NanoCORR line of anti-corrosion paint and coatings additives. Developed with Gerdau Graphene’s exclusive G2D technology, NanoCORR Shield is a graphene-enhanced chemical additive designed to increase the corrosion resistance of solvent-based paints and coatings. NanoCORR Shield has demonstrated a 30-70% increase in corrosion resistance when subjected to salt spray testing.

The addition of a small amount of specially-developed graphene, an ultra-strong carbon nanomaterial, into paint and coatings allows for an increase in the barrier effect against corrosive elements such as water, oxygen, and chlorides. In addition, NanoCORR reduces paint consumption by reducing the nominal thickness of the coating while maintaining the paint or coatings’ other characteristics and performance properties.
