Applied Graphene Materials ("AGM") unveils successful testing
and recognition of breakthrough anti-corrosion graphene
technology
3,000-hour trials of AGM's proprietary Genable(R) dispersions
have delivered a more than fivefold improvement in rust protection
enabling significant opportunities in its industrial coatings
target market
The development has resulted in AGM being nominated as a
finalist for the 2019 Corrosion Industry Innovation Award as the
successful technology continues to gain traction and industry
recognition
Applied Graphene Materials, the producer of specialty graphene
materials today announces that its breakthrough graphene technology
Genable(R) 3000 has delivered outstanding anti-corrosion
performance enhancement results that has led the business to be
nominated for a key industry award.
Genable(R) is a unique metal-free additive that transforms
coatings and paints enabling them to uniquely withstand aggressive
corrosion in automotive, heavy industry and harsh marine
environments. The results from over 3,000 hours of typical vigorous
environment testing can be seen in a video on the company's website
here. These results demonstrate the long-term structural resilience
that AGM's products provide against corrosion, establishing a new
market standard.
The development re-affirms the Company's compelling position and
potential within the GBP8.1bn global coating markets and follows
its recent announcement that James Briggs Limited ("JBL"), Europe's
largest consumer chemicals businesses, intends to bring a new range
of aerosol automotive paint primers containing AGM graphene to
market, setting new levels of corrosion protection in the aerosol
automotive paint market.
Jim Miller, JBL's Commercial Director commented "The 2 year
development collaboration between JBL and AGM has resulted in our
first products coming to fruition for the automotive market.
Initial feedback from the market is very positive, with customers
keen to see innovative products with genuine substantive
performance improvements, which these products deliver through
utilisation of AGM's graphene dispersion technology."
The momentum that AGM's proprietary Genable(R) 3000 graphene
technology has achieved has helped drive industry wide recognition
of AGM's expertise as an innovation leader in the coatings
industry. Reflecting this, the Company has secured a nomination as
a finalist in the Materials Performance Corrosion Innovation Awards
2019. The MP Corrosion Innovation Awards program acknowledges the
leaders advancing understanding and development of global corrosion
technology. It is run in parallel with NACE International. Winners
will be announced at the CORROSION conference 2019 in Nashville,
Tennessee, USA.
Adrian Potts, CEO of Applied Graphene Materials commented:
"AGM's technology is an exciting and first of its kind
development for the global coatings industry. It will significantly
increase the lifespan of metals in harsh environments, ensuring
very attractive cost advantages for customers. As we create new
standards across the market, we are delighted to have been
nominated as a Finalist for the 2019 Corrosion Industry Innovation
Award, recognising our ground-breaking Genable(R) 3000 technology.
Our recent success with UK paint producer James Briggs and
3,000-hour trials are hugely positive and highlight our potential
to bring innovation to many different industries and markets."

About Applied Graphene Materials
Applied Graphene Materials works in partnership with its
customers using its knowledge and expertise to provide custom
graphene dispersions and formats to deliver enhancements and
benefits for a wide range of applications. The Group's strategy is
to target commercial application in three core markets: coatings,
composites and polymers and functional fluids.
The Group has developed proprietary bottom-up processes which
are capable of producing high-volume graphene nanoplatelets using a
continuous process. The manufacturing processes are based on
sustainable, readily available raw materials and therefore do not
rely on the supply of graphite, unlike a number of other graphene
production techniques. Applied Graphene Materials owns the
intellectual property and know-how behind these processes.
Applied Graphene Materials was founded in 2010 with its
operations and processes based on technology that Professor Karl
Coleman initially developed at Durham University. The Group was
admitted to AIM in November 2013.
