Delivering Innovation and Performance Enhancement with Graphene Nanoplatelets

The Challenge

Since 2012, leading coating innovators, Blocksil Ltd, has worked in partnership with industry specialists to deliver cutting edge products. Led by experienced coatings professionals, Blocksil offer products to support the automotive, rail, construction, civil engineering, energy, marine and aerospace sectors

Blocksil approached AGM in 2018 about collaborating on the development of their next generation of steel anti-corrosion paint.

The scope of the project to add graphene nanoplatelets was outlined by Blocksil as follows:

  • Significantly increase the anti-corrosion performance of its standard topcoat
  • Ensure no negative impact on physical properties as a result of the addition
  • Balance value-adding performance benefit with added costs to ensure the commercial viability of the new prime
  • Enhance UV resistance with impacting on the already outstanding fire resistance performance
  • Balance the impact of the additional cost of incorporating graphene nanoplatelet with the added value generated from the significant increase in performance

Collaborative Partnerships driving Commercial Success

The development collaboration between the technical teams at AGM and Blocksil led to the development of GRAPHENE ENHANCED TOP COAT MT

  • Tested to nearly 12,000 hours Neutral Salt Spray (ISO9227:2017)
  • Single coat application
  • Approved Fire Resistance (BS476-3:2004, CEN/TS1187:2012 – Test 4)
  • Highly Moisture and Surface Tolerant
  • VOC and Solvent Free
  • Outstanding Anti-Grafitti Properties
  • Excellent UV Resistance

The success of Graphene Enhanced Top Coat MT has resulted in a number of significant customer approves.

The Blocksil paint is now being used by communication companies RTÉ and Avanti Communications Group for their communication satellites and transmitter masts as well we for railway trackside SSP’s.
