AGM to present on breakthrough nanotechnology for water-based
epoxy coatings at Corrosion 2021
Applied Graphene Materials (LSE:AGM), the producer of speciality
graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, announces that the Company will
be presenting its breakthrough technology that enables easy
graphene dispersion in water-based epoxy coatings, while delivering
improved corrosion protection , at the Corrosion 21 Conference
& Expo on 28(th) April 2021.
The technology represents a major milestone in the development
of performance-enhancing graphene technologies for more sustainable
coatings manufacturers. AGM has previously demonstrated significant
uplifts in anticorrosion performance in solvent based coatings
through the use of its industry-leading G enable(R) graphene
nanoplatelet dispersion technology. However, water-based coating
development remains a key focus for industry formulators looking to
improve the safety and environmental impacts of their products.
AGM's Senior Application Scientist, Matthew Sharp, will be
presenting on Anticorrosive Performance of Novel Water based
Systems using Graphene Nanoplatelets . To date, dispersion of
graphene in water-based systems has been problematic, causing
coating instability or requiring large amounts of surfactant. AGM's
breakthrough technology enables easy dispersion of graphene in
water-based epoxy coatings, while delivering improved corrosion
protection - the research represents an important development in
raising waterborne coating anti-corrosion performance in industry
applications.
The two week event, hosted by The Association for Materials
Protection and Performance , will take place between 19-30 April
2021, and brings together industry experts from around the world to
showcase the latest developments and technology in corrosion
control.

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 and a further GBP9.8m in November
2017. Since August 2020, the Group's shares are also listed on
OTCQB in the United States and, in January 2021, the Group
successfully raised a further GBP6m gross . As a result of the
funding support and their industry leading technology platform, AGM
have 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 have seen the successful
launch of numerous commercial products enhanced by their Graphene
Dispersions.
Corrosion 2021 - the world's largest conference and exposition
for the corrosion control industry, Corrosion 2021 is a multi-day
virtual conference where industry experts come together to focus on
the methods for identifying, preventing, and combating corrosion
problems across all major industries.
