Anti-corrosion Coating
Problem
Corrosion: Compromising Performance, Increasing Costs
Corrosion on surfaces of materials can significantly damage the properties of a material and weaken the overall performance potentially resulting in high costs in maintenance and repair or risk endangering people. Materials in highly corrosive environments like oil, gas, or maritime applications have demanding requirements to perform efficiently. In a lot of these cases anti-corrosion coatings are used to protect materials and improve performance but to achieve the necessary performance hazardous chemicals with fluorine or chromium are often used which end up in the environment.
Solution
Graphene: Advanced Protection for Extreme Conditions
Graphene is a carbon-based additive with impressive anti-corrosion properties and great potential as an alternate solution. The graphene networks is almost completely impermeable to any molecules meaning nothing can penetrate the graphene and reach through the coating to the underlying sureface. A network of graphene in a coating will therefore drastically enhance the barrier properties of most materials to create a protective layer on a surface in corrosive environments. As molecules cannot penetrate the graphene material they will try to diffuse around the nanomaterial which increases the diffusion path tremendously. This in turn improves the lifetime of the coating and surface the coating is protecting.
customer benefit
Durability, Efficiency, Sustainability
Sustainable and bio compatible carbon-based additive instead of hazardous chemicals. Less maintenance and repair due to corrosive damage.
