Understanding Graphene Powder Coating and its Applications

The current conventional way of powder coatings has been potentially updated with the promotion of graphene powder coating. Its properties have made the coating process environment-friendly, efficient, and energy-saving. It is widely used in the protective layering of metal surfaces in various industries, for instance, shipping, rail transit, road facilities, household appliances, electrical equipment, automotive parts, and many others.

When graphene applications are considered, graphene powder coating has been a great discovery. Moreover, it has been an important move in developing the powder coating industries and for improvement in coating performance. Additionally, its curing diminishes energy consumption.

Graphene powder coating has a high density that helps in the improvement of its anti-oxidative and anti-corrosive characteristics, which ultimately extends its service life. Graphene coating is also resistant to corrosion of elements and substances like ultraviolet rays, rain, wind, etc. that is very helpful in prolonged protection. The environment-friendly substances used also helps in the protection of the materials’ life.

Application of Graphene Powder Coating in Communication Devices

Graphene powder coating is applied in the following materials;

       Cabinet and Grid Coverage: It makes the weather resistance strong.

       Heat reduction

       Filteration

Application of Graphene Powder Coating in Aluminium Alloy Profile

       Shock Resistance: It provides high shock resistance

       Adhesion: With a cross-cut test, the coating adhesion was reduced to level 0

       Corrosion Resistance: Even after the acetic salt spray test, the coating was not corroded except at the scratch sides.

       Artificial weather resistance: The powder coating did not age without gloss.

Application of Graphene Powder Coating in LED Lighting

       Shock Resistance: It was shock resistant as the coating did not fall off under adhesive tape after applying a shock of 50Kg.cm.

       Adhesion: at level 0

       Corrosion Resistance: An indoor lamp can resist salt spray corrosion for more than 300 hours, whereas an outdoor lamp can resist salt spray corrosion for more than 800 hours.

       Artificial Weather Resistance: With artificial accelerated weather, the coating glossiness was below 30, which means the powder coating did not age.


Final consideration

The massive application of graphene powder coating in communication devices, architectural profiles, rail transit, etc. demonstrates that when compared to the conventional coating, the process of graphene powder coating is simpler and highly effective. It is highly beneficial considering many characteristics such as evenness, anti-corrosion, weather resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Thus, with these excellent qualities, graphene powder coating will be extensively used in many industries, in the coming future. Graphene powder coating is evolving with great speed to bring substantial growth to the coating market.

About Silver Nanowires and Its Applications

  Silver Nanowires are nanomaterials with high electrical conductivity, resistance to oxidation, and great optical & antibacterial properties. Silver Nanowires also performs great in transparent conducting electrodes for touchscreens, solar cells, flexible displays, sensors, light-emitting diodes, etc. These nanowires can be included in many products like textiles, antibacterial bandages, and EMI shielding. Additionally, silver nanowires have been great as conductive fillers for combined applications. Now, it is essential that the minimum amount of silver is used for establishing the electrical connection in the final matrix, also known as the percolation threshold. Due to its high aspect ratio, silver nanowires can easily reach percolation at concentrations of less than 1%. With great electrical, optical, and thermal properties, silver nanowires have great possibilities for developing advanced technology applications. They are available in powder and dispersion form. The S...

The Applications of Graphene Oxide Powder

Graphene was reported firstly in the year 2004 and was prepared with the use of mechanical exfoliate by the graphite. Due to its ratio of surface area and weight, it is used to store energy as it can increase the energy per volume. It can be used in super capacitors , conductive epoxies, conductive inks, super-batteries.  It is one of the most well approved 2D materials available and the reason behind it is a broad range of areas it is applicable in. It comes with a discrete benefit when compared to several other 2d materials because it is dispersed easily within the solution. This way it is allowed to process at higher concentrations and several applications have been opened up. Here follows the list of 7 of it: IN ELECTRODE MATERIAL Graphene Oxide Powder has a higher surface area. This is the reason why it is made ideal to be used for electrode material for batteries, solar cells, and capacitors. 2.        THE ELECTRONICS Graphene Oxi...
