Applied Graphene Materials (AGM, Cleveland, U.K.) the producer of specialty graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, has launched a new range of eco-friendly graphene nanoplatelet dispersions that will reportedly enable paints, coatings and composite materials customers to improve the sustainability of their product formulations in response to growing market pressures to invest in bio-derived alternatives to traditional chemicals.

AGM’s Genable 1700 series of eco-friendly graphene nanoplatelet dispersions are based on the company’s well-established graphene dispersion technology, which is said to deliver significant performance uplifts such as chemical resistance, barrier and anticorrosion properties. Genable graphene dispersions are integrated with a selection of certified, fully bio-based solvents and resins available in the market, including Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone), a bio-renewable solvent, and renewable resins Entropy Resin One and Entropy Resin CCR, a solvent-free liquid epoxy resin and a solvent-free hydroxy functional polyester respectively.

According to AGM, the Genable 1700 series product range is now available for sampling evaluation by customers for use in a wide range of liquid coatings and composite materials formulating applications.

The launch of this new sustainable range for customers reflects AGM’s own sustainability commitment to continuous improvement to align with the principles of the UN Sustainability Development Goals.
