BARRIER
PROPERTIES
Reduce unwanted permeation (moisture, oxygen, gases, ions) by forming a tortuous path that limits diffusion in eGraphene-enhanced coatings.
Anti-Corrosion Coatings
Challenge: Metal substrates corrode due to water or salt penetration through thin coatings.
eGraphene Impact: Creates a dense, chemically inert barrier that blocks moisture and ions, extending corrosion lifetime.
Industries / Products: Automotive, Marine, Infrastructure.
Benefit: Thinner, longer-lasting coatings; reduced blistering and underfilm corrosion.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
7x
improved barrier performance at 0.1 wt.-%
(electrochemical impedance, DIN EN ISO 17463 / ASTM G106)
Moisture Barrier Coatings
Challenge: Polymer films (e.g., binders, packaging coatings) allow slow moisture permeation that reduces product lifetime.
eGraphene Impact: Increases diffusion path length, creating moisture-tight yet flexible coatings.
Industries / Products: Packaging films, Sensors.
Benefit: Lightweight, scalable, water-based protection with minimal additive cost.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
3x
improved moisture barrier at 0.1 wt.-% loading.
ELECTRICAL
CONDUCTIVITY
Provide electron-conducting pathways for dissipative, antistatic, EMI-shielding, or other conductive films by forming continuous, percolating networks at ultra-low loadings with eGraphene.
Radar/ EMI/ EMC Shielding
Challenge: Electromagnetic interference disrupts circuits; metal-based solutions add weight and cost.
eGraphene Impact: Creates lightweight, conductive coatings delivering strong EMI attenuation.
Industries / Products: Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Electronics.
Benefit: 4× cheaper than silver, 8× lighter than Al foil, ideal for thin films and textiles.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
60db
40–60 dB shielding at 12–18 GHz.
Conductive Coatings
Challenge: Printed flexible electronics require high conductivity while maintaining full design flexibility.
eGraphene Impact: Enables printable, ultra-thin conductive pathways and films for sensors, circuits, heating elements, etc.
Industries / Products: Sensors, Printed Electronics, Aerospace, Defense
Benefit: Drop-in printable inks and formulations for scalable, flexible electronics manufacturing.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
140.000
140.000 S/m at drop casted ~34 nm eGraphene film (world record for dispersion-based graphene)
THERMAL
CONDUCTIVITY
Manage heat — either by spreading it (conduction) or by resisting it (protection) — with eGraphene, which creates an in-plane conductive network that transfers or redistributes thermal energy.
Thermal Management Coatings
Challenge: Electronic housings and composites accumulate localized heat.
eGraphene Impact: Builds continuous thermal pathways to spread heat efficiently through lightweight coatings.
Industries / Products: Electronics, Aerospace, EV battery systems.
Benefit: Rapid, even heat dissipation; prevents local overheating in thin, printable coatings.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
50%
more thermal conductivity in a coating with <1 wt.-% eGraphene
Fire- and Heat-Protective Coatings
Challenge: Conventional coatings fail, drip, or char too quickly under flame or radiant heat.
eGraphene Impact: Forms a thermally stable barrier that delays ignition and preserves structural strength.
Industries / Products: Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Industrial safety.
Benefit: Lightweight, flexible fire protection without halogens or ceramics.
eGraphene impact measured by customers:
20x
longer fire resistance in eGraphene-coated GF-fabric with < 1wt.-% loading
MECHANICAL
REINFORCEMENT
Strengthen resins, adhesives, and composites at ultra-low filler content by providing load transfer and crack-bridging through strong interfacial bonding with eGraphene.
Epoxy & Adhesive Systems
Challenge: Conventional highly filled resins or adhesives crack under mechanical stress.
eGraphene Impact: Reinforces resin matrices and improves adhesion in structural applications or conductive adhesives.
Industries / Products: 2K adhesives, Conductive pastes, GFRP/CFRP laminates, Structural adhesives, Industrial composites.
Benefit: Crack-resistant, flexible bonds and laminates.
