Applied Graphene Materials plc to Show Latest Technology At Coatings Events Applied Graphene Materials announced that it will be taking part in two events over the coming months across its key market sectors. AGM plans to showcase the Company's latest developments in graphene dispersion technology at both the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo and the American Coatings Show (ACS). AGM's graphene nanoplatelet dispersions offer an innovative approach to combatting corrosion which is a more environmentally friendly alternative to zinc-based chemistries. Formulators can maximise the potential of existing additives in synergy with graphene to significantly extend the life of coating materials. In April 2022, the Company will also be attending the American Coatings Show (ACS), hosted by the American Coatings Association (ACA). As one of the premiere events for the coatings industry in North America, ACS returns in person and invites industry experts from around the world to highlight their latest developments and technology for industrial paints and coatings.

Applied Graphene Materials plc Launches Own Range of Anti-Corrosion Primers Applied Graphene Materials announced the introduction of a range of industrial anti-corrosion primers based on its own well-established Genable 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 Genable 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.

Applied Graphene Materials plc Announces Bike Product Customer Launches Graphene-Based Detailing Spray Applied Graphene Materials announced that its partnership with a leading innovator in the cycling market, Tru-Tension, has resulted in the launch of a brand new detailing spray enhanced with AGM's graphene nanoplatelet technology. UK-based Tru-Tension designs and manufactures products for biking enthusiasts, from tools and cleaning products for commuters and adventure riders, to lubricants and accessories for high performance motorcycle racing. Following a programme of in-house research and testing, the manufacturer claims that the new formulation enhanced with AGM's Genable® graphene dispersion technology delivers extended performance benefits. Since successfully securing a substantial investment from retail guru Touker Suleyman on BBC's Dragons' Den back in 2018, Tru-Tension has grown from strength to strength, expanding its range of high-quality bike maintenance solutions. Tru-Tension suggests the graphene-based spray offers an unrivalled high gloss finish that also acts as a protective layer to leave paintwork glistening, and that the newly formulated hydrophobic coating also reduces dirt build-up to make future cleaning easier. The Graphene Bike Detailer product represents a further milestone for both companies in bringing graphene nanoplatelet-based products to the wider market. Working with industry pioneers like Tru-Tension, AGM continues to realise the benefits of graphene for detailing product applications. This latest product launch represents another example of how the incorporation of the Company's unique graphene dispersion technology can transform customers' products and help manufacturers to stand out in the car and bike care market.
