✦ Graphene is getting a lot of attention in coatings. We explain what published research actually shows, and point you to proven spray-applied polyurea protection from ArmorThane.
A one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. We cover what it is, how it is made and why lab results do not automatically carry over to a finished coating.
Learn more ↗ 02Researchers are studying graphene-type fillers in coatings for barrier and corrosion behavior. Results vary with dispersion, loading and the base resin.
Learn more ↗ 03Plural-component polyurea is a proven, fast-curing elastomer for steel, concrete and vehicles, applied seamless by trained crews.
Learn more ↗ 04Whatever is in the can, adhesion depends on clean, profiled, dry substrate. Prep decides how long any coating lasts.
Learn more ↗Summarize what graphene is and what peer-reviewed work says about it in coatings, in plain language.
For protection you can spec today, we point readers to ArmorThane's spray-applied polyurea systems and trained applicators.
Polyurea and polyurethane systems are already protecting pipe, floors and vehicles every day.

↗Ground or blasted concrete takes a seamless, chemical-resistant floor system that returns to service quickly.
↗A textured polyurea shell over the whole body resists scratches, dings and trail rash on off-road vehicles.
↗The steps that matter on every protective coating job, whatever the chemistry.

Clean, dry and blast or grind to the profile the product data sheet calls for. Repair defects first.
Heated plural-component equipment builds the film; thickness and adhesion checks confirm the work.
A quick area check to include with your quote request. It doesn't give a price; pricing depends on prep, thickness and site conditions.
A one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is very strong and conductive at the nanoscale.
Research explores improvements in barrier and mechanical properties, but results depend heavily on dispersion, loading and the base resin. It is not automatic.
Ask for the test standard used, the control sample, independent lab reports and how much graphene is actually in the product.
No. Graphite is many stacked graphene layers. Many "graphene" products contain multilayer flakes, which behave differently from single-layer graphene.
It is an active research topic. Treat any consumer product claiming graphene ballistic protection with caution unless it has independent certification.
Well-established systems such as polyurea and polyurethane, specified for the exposure and applied by trained crews.
Tell ArmorThane about the surface, size and service conditions. A trained applicator can recommend a polyurea system and quote the work.
