Grafoid Introduces GrafeneX - a Graphene Adherent, Tunable and Multi-Functional Coating Technology for Large Surface Industrial Applications - Seite 3
- Water-repellant and anti-fouling coatings
- Self-cleaning surfaces
- Anti-icing and anti-fogging coatings for:
- Windows
- Eyeglasses
- Corrosion protective coatings for a variety of industries, including:
- Automotive
- Marine
GrafeneX (D) coatings have hydrophilic properties and may be used as:
- Paint primers and pre-treatments
- Adhesion-promoting coatings for joining two dissimilar materials, such as attaching polymers to metals (example: automotive industry)
More intensive applications can potentially include:
- Surface modification of implants or scaffold materials in tissue engineering
- Drug delivery & cancer therapy
- Bio-sensors, electrochemical biosensors
- Other types of sensors, such as: Contact sensors, nanoelectromechanical sensors, chemical sensors, non-contact sensors, etc.
About Grafoid Inc.
Grafoid is focused on three areas of graphene-related technology development seen as "low-hanging fruit" for industrial adoption.
They are graphene based materials for energy creation, storage and transmission; graphene based polymers and; graphene coatings for all industrial sectors.
A privately held Canadian corporation, Grafoid invests in graphene applications and economically scalable production processes for graphene and graphene derivatives from raw, unprocessed graphite ore. Focus Graphite Inc. holds a significant interest in Grafoid Inc.
Incorporated in 2011, Grafoid's global enterprise platform includes 17 subsidiary companies engaged in the development of Mesograf™ materials and products, and GrafeneX ultra-thin graphene industrial coatings and commercialization development services. They include, but are not limited to: Mesograf™ lithium batteries for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and industrial energy storage; polymers, plastics, rubber, elastomers, and composite materials; fiber science including aluminum alloys; lubricants; fire retardant materials; thermal management solutions; EMI/RFI/EMP shielding; solar solutions, and analytical testing; and laboratory services.
