AGM Receives UK Patent for Water-based Anti-corrosion
Innovation
Industry leader gains formal recognition for its latest
nanotechnology development
Applied Graphene Materials (LSE:AGM), the producer of specialty
graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, is pleased to announce the
issuance of UK Patent No. GB2585648, covering the use of Graphene
Nanoplatelets in water-based anti-corrosion protective coatings
applications.
Graphene nanoplatelets have been shown to provide highly
effective barrier properties, enhancing corrosion prevention in
solvent-based paints through the use of high-performance
dispersions. The introduction of Graphene nanoplatelets into
water-based paints has been historically problematic due to the
challenges in producing effective and stable dispersions for
water-based systems. AGM's range of water-based dispersions have
now been demonstrated to enhance corrosion performance in such
systems. This technology development enables primer systems to
achieve ISO 12944 category C3 or C4 corrosion rating performance
where typical environments include urban and industrial
atmospheres, moderate sulphur dioxide pollution, or coastal areas
with low to moderate salinity.
This latest patent reflects AGM's commitment to continuous
development as a leading innovator in graphene dispersion and
application technology.
Adrian Potts, Chief Executive Officer or AGM said :
"The global cost of corrosion is substantial and there is
significant and growing pressure within the international coatings
industry to reduce and ultimately remove the dependence on harmful
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The move towards a water-based
technology solution is a primary goal for many protective coatings
innovators. Overcoming the challenge of dispersing graphene
nanoplatelets into such coatings has been a significant area of
development for AGM's technical team, and I am pleased that this
technology has resulted in patent coverage. This latest dispersed
product technology offers the coatings industry a new tool in the
formulation of water-based systems. It provides a further
opportunity to narrow the gap in solvent and water-based coating
performance by enabling the use of graphene nanoplatelet materials
thereby supporting the move away from solvent-based products."

Notes to Editors
Applied Graphene Materials - For the last decade, AGM has been
at the forefront of harnessing the possibilities of graphene.
Founded originally by Professor Karl Coleman, the Group has grown
from an academic idea from Durham University to a world leader in
the development and application of graphene nanoplatelet
dispersions for customers in the coatings, composites and
functional materials sectors.
The Group utilises its proprietary bottom-up manufacturing
process to produce high purity graphene nanoplatelets. Its
expertise in dispersion chemistry enables AGM to create optimised,
stable and easy to handle dispersions that customers use in
real-world industrial products. AGM's unique approach enables
industries to fully realise the potential of graphene in a simple,
safe and easy to formulate way.
AGM, based at the Wilton Centre on Teesside, was admitted to AIM
in November 2013, raising GBP11 million. The Group successfully
raised GBP8.5m in January 2016, GBP9.8m in November 2017 and a
further GBP6m gross in January 2021. The Group's shares are also
cross-traded on OTCQX in the United States. As a result of the
funding support and its industry leading technology platform, AGM
has been able to develop a significant sales distribution network
covering Europe, North America and Asia. The Group continues to
work closely with industrial partners, and has seen the successful
launch of numerous commercial products enhanced by its Graphene
Dispersions.
