AGM launches its own range of anti-corrosion primers
Industry leader demonstrates performance uplifts with
graphene-enhanced paint
Applied Graphene Materials (LSE:AGM), the producer of specialty
graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) dispersions, is pleased to announce the
introduction of a range of industrial anti-corrosion primers based
on its own well-established G enable technology.
As a multifunctional additive, graphene nanoplatelets have been
shown to provide highly effective barrier and anti-corrosion
properties in paints and coatings at extremely low loading levels.
Following outstanding results through extensive inhouse research
and testing, the Company has developed two new prototype paint
systems using its graphene products.
The two epoxy-based primers represent an easy way for those
considering the adoption of graphene to quickly test and evaluate
its potential benefits within a starting point formulation.
The G enable Epoxy primer is a C3-rated hybrid product which
combines graphene with a zinc phosphate additive to enable the
end-user to benefit from the synergies offered by both systems in
standard applications, such as urban and industrial environments.
The Genable CX primer is a high-performance hybrid system, but this
formulation is based on graphene and aluminium chemistries and also
offers anti-corrosion protection for harsh environments, such as
offshore and marine applications.
While many manufacturers continue to test graphene in their
formulations, the use of these safe, easy-to apply epoxy-based
primers is expected to also allow AGM's customers to accelerate
graphene adoption. As a leading innovator in graphene dispersion
and application technology, the Company is working closely with
partners such as the UK Environment Agency (EA) so as to
demonstrate the performance benefits of graphene-based paints and
coatings on a wider scale with a view to EA adopting and utilising
AGM products to protect its extensive portfolio of assets.
Adrian Potts, Chief Executive Officer or AGM said:
"We are pleased to be able to launch these two G enable primer
products, which we anticipate will help further accelerate the
adoption of graphene nanoplatelet technology with our coatings
customers. Our technology development programmes have focused on
extensive testing and evaluation for a range of applications and
this experience is valuable in guiding customers in the use of our
products. Having demonstrator primers is expected to further help
customers realise the benefits of this technology in a practical
way. We look forward to the products being a further useful means
of enabling faster adoption of our products in the protective
coatings space."

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.
