What is Graphene?

Graphene is 2D monolayer material made from Carbon Atoms which was first isolated in 2004. Only one atom thick, yet stronger than diamond and steel of the same thickness, this remarkable material is also the best conductor of electricity known to man, and rivals any other thermal conductor at the same time.

The Problem

Graphene is not a magic bottle of something you can sprinkle over your car tyre to stop it wearing out, or put on your radiators to keep the house warmer. It is a very sophisticated material which has to be integrated into selected materials at critical parts of a production process, if it is to optimise performance, and add value. If you don't know what you're doing graphene is completely useless.

Our Solution

As a nano-technology coating developer, Protectology works with the world’s leading Graphene supplier, First Graphene, and is supported by the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre. With our vast experience and global knowledge of numerous manufacturing processes and systems, we evaluate customer enquiries, and advise the potential of integrating our PROGRAPH® range of Treatments and Coatings.

Unique to our offering, is a strategic alliance with the TASS Group, giving Protectology exclusivity to a globally patented low pressure spray systems to apply graphene treatments and coatings to within one micron. This undoubtedly sets us apart as market leaders in having the ability to offer full control of thickness and repeatability. Aided by offering the most advanced robotic packages from Bauromat, and supported throughout by the range of Heraeus InfraRed Curing processes, we cater for those who have seriously ambitious production lines. This is your chance to have a one stop shop to integrate the best graphene coating solution into your process, optimise the effectiveness, whilst reaping the cost benefit.

Commercial Applications of Graphene

Composites

Graphene can give composites properties such as fire retardancy, increased mechanical strength, lighter weight, better water resistance, reduced manufacturing costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Concrete

By adding a specialised additive to concrete we can increase its mechanical properties. For example, we see a 34% increase in compressive ctrength and 27% increase in tensile strength.

Construction

Graphene can replace the strength expected of steel reinforcement bars, by simply integrating it with the concrete itself.

Elastomers

Graphene can improve the wear resistance of elastomers by six times.

Energy Storage

We can use graphene to offer game changing supercapacitor materials exclusively on a worldwide licence from Manchester University through First Graphene.

Fire Retardancy

Graphene integrates with a range of nano materials to provide an oxygen barrier, preventing flame activation with the subtrate.

Polymer Processing

Integrating specialised surface layers into the polymer provides it with anti-static and conductive properties, or, fire retardancy with increased penetration.

Textiles

The use of graphene can add qualities to your textiles, such as anti-static, bacteria resistance, and better durability.
