[title] => PPG Introduces PPG ENVIROCRON Extreme Protection Edge Powder Coatings for Corrosion Protection
[short_title] =>
[summary] =>
[slug] => ppg-introduces-ppg-envirocron-extreme-protection-edge-powder-coatings-for-corrosion-protection
[body] => PPG launched PPG ENVIROCRON Extreme Protection Edge coatings, which use a patent-pending, advanced powder coatings technology that delivers exceptional edge corrosion protection in one coat.
Specially formulated to cover sharp edges created during metal fabrication, this innovative technology provides coverage that far surpasses standard one-coat and two-coat powder systems.
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings mark a significant technical advancement in edge coverage, offering applicators a competitive advantage in protecting the most vulnerable areas of metal exposed to corrosive conditions. The direct-to-metal coatings are fully reclaimable and deliver significant savings in material, labor, utilities and time.
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings require no primer, and applicators do not need to modify their existing coatings lines or add equipment to use this new solution. Applicators also can save capital costs by avoiding the need to finish edges with mechanical edge rounding or blasting equipment. Longer term, PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings have the potential to reduce warranty claims and improve resale value by extending the product lifecycle.
“Combining uniform edge coverage and exceptional corrosion protection in a primerless, one-coat system is a challenge that coatings manufacturers have been facing for many years,” said Shelley Verdun, PPG global product manager, powder coatings. “PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings are the first one-coat product to successfully unite these characteristics, offering customers a range of benefits and benchmark performance that cannot be replicated by any other coating on the market.”
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings add industry-changing performance to the company’s existing world-class polyester powder coatings technology, which has provided decades of field-proven environmental and corrosion resistance. The new coatings are available in a full range of standard and custom-matched colors, including mica and metallics, and can be applied using manual and automatic powder coating systems.
Genable is a unique metal-free additive that transforms coatings and paints enabling them to uniquely withstand aggressive corrosion in automotive, heavy industry and harsh marine environments.
The results from over 3,000 hours of typical vigorous environment testing can be seen in a video
here. These results demonstrate the long-term structural resilience that AGM’s products provide against corrosion, establishing a new market standard.
Recently, it was announced that James Briggs Limited intends to bring a new range of aerosol automotive paint primers containing AGM graphene to market.
“The two-year development collaboration between JBL and AGM has resulted in our first products coming to fruition for the automotive market," said Jim Miller, JBL's commercial director. "Initial feedback from the market is very positive, with customers keen to see innovative products with genuine substantive performance improvements, which these products deliver through utilization of AGM’s graphene dispersion technology.”
“AGM’s technology is exciting and the first of its kind development for the global coatings industry," Applied Graphene Materials CEO Adrian Potts. "It will significantly increase the lifespan of metals in harsh environments, ensuring very attractive cost advantages for customers. Our recent success with UK paint producer James Briggs and 3,000-hour trials are hugely positive and highlight our potential to bring innovation to many different industries and markets."
Winners will be announced at the CORROSION Conference 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee.

[title] => Applied Graphene Materials Joins The National Graphene Association’s Industry Council
[short_title] =>
[summary] =>
[slug] => applied-graphene-materials-joins-the-national-graphene-associations-industry-council
[body] =>
Applied Graphene Materials was appointed to the Industry Council of The National Graphene Association (NGA), the main organization and body in the U.S. advocating and promoting the commercialization of graphene.
The NGA's Industry Council is an exclusive, invitation-only membership, available to a select group of influential graphene companies positioned to assume the leading role in the development of the global graphene market and advancing the commercialization of graphene.
AGM’s proprietary bottom-up processes produce high purity graphene nanoplatelets. Based on sustainable, readily available raw materials, the manufacturing process does not rely on the supply of graphite. Applied Graphene Materials owns the intellectual property and know-how behind its production and dispersion processes.
Applied Graphene Materials will work closely with other Council members to guide the NGA in the establishment of industry standards, specifications and policies that leverage the advantages of graphene in various industry segments.
"As an international leader and through this partnership, AGM will work with NGA on the development of international standards and overcoming challenges of mass-scale adoption of graphene in different industrial segments such as composites and coatings," said Dr. Zina Jarrahi Cinker, executive director of the NGA.
"While recognition of graphene’s unparalleled combination of properties continues to grow, one of the challenges for large-scale commercialisation has been the diversity of graphene being produced by organisations across the world," added Adrian Potts, CEO of Applied Graphene Materials. "By establishing standards, we hope to accelerate the acceptance and widescale adoption of graphene in a range of global industries. This will include the high-potential paints, coatings and composites industries, where the properties of AGM’s graphene application technology can offer outstanding enhancements and where we are already gaining strong commercial traction.”

The direct-to-metal coatings are fully reclaimable and deliver significant savings in material, labor, utilities and time.
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings require no primer, and applicators do not need to modify their existing coatings lines or add equipment to use this new solution. Applicators also can save capital costs by avoiding the need to finish edges with mechanical edge rounding or blasting equipment. Longer term, PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings have the potential to reduce warranty claims and improve resale value by extending the product lifecycle.
“Combining uniform edge coverage and exceptional corrosion protection in a primerless, one-coat system is a challenge that coatings manufacturers have been facing for many years,” said Shelley Verdun, PPG global product manager, powder coatings. “PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings are the first one-coat product to successfully unite these characteristics, offering customers a range of benefits and benchmark performance that cannot be replicated by any other coating on the market.”
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings add industry-changing performance to the company’s existing world-class polyester powder coatings technology, which has provided decades of field-proven environmental and corrosion resistance. The new coatings are available in a full range of standard and custom-matched colors, including mica and metallics, and can be applied using manual and automatic powder coating systems.
Genable is a unique metal-free additive that transforms coatings and paints enabling them to uniquely withstand aggressive corrosion in automotive, heavy industry and harsh marine environments.
The results from over 3,000 hours of typical vigorous environment testing can be seen in a video
here. These results demonstrate the long-term structural resilience that AGM’s products provide against corrosion, establishing a new market standard.
Recently, it was announced that James Briggs Limited intends to bring a new range of aerosol automotive paint primers containing AGM graphene to market.
“The two-year development collaboration between JBL and AGM has resulted in our first products coming to fruition for the automotive market," said Jim Miller, JBL's commercial director. "Initial feedback from the market is very positive, with customers keen to see innovative products with genuine substantive performance improvements, which these products deliver through utilization of AGM’s graphene dispersion technology.”
“AGM’s technology is exciting and the first of its kind development for the global coatings industry," Applied Graphene Materials CEO Adrian Potts. "It will significantly increase the lifespan of metals in harsh environments, ensuring very attractive cost advantages for customers. Our recent success with UK paint producer James Briggs and 3,000-hour trials are hugely positive and highlight our potential to bring innovation to many different industries and markets."
Winners will be announced at the CORROSION Conference 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee.

[title] => Applied Graphene Materials Joins The National Graphene Association’s Industry Council
[short_title] =>
[summary] =>
[slug] => applied-graphene-materials-joins-the-national-graphene-associations-industry-council
[body] =>
Applied Graphene Materials was appointed to the Industry Council of The National Graphene Association (NGA), the main organization and body in the U.S. advocating and promoting the commercialization of graphene.
The NGA's Industry Council is an exclusive, invitation-only membership, available to a select group of influential graphene companies positioned to assume the leading role in the development of the global graphene market and advancing the commercialization of graphene.
AGM’s proprietary bottom-up processes produce high purity graphene nanoplatelets. Based on sustainable, readily available raw materials, the manufacturing process does not rely on the supply of graphite. Applied Graphene Materials owns the intellectual property and know-how behind its production and dispersion processes.
Applied Graphene Materials will work closely with other Council members to guide the NGA in the establishment of industry standards, specifications and policies that leverage the advantages of graphene in various industry segments.
"As an international leader and through this partnership, AGM will work with NGA on the development of international standards and overcoming challenges of mass-scale adoption of graphene in different industrial segments such as composites and coatings," said Dr. Zina Jarrahi Cinker, executive director of the NGA.
"While recognition of graphene’s unparalleled combination of properties continues to grow, one of the challenges for large-scale commercialisation has been the diversity of graphene being produced by organisations across the world," added Adrian Potts, CEO of Applied Graphene Materials. "By establishing standards, we hope to accelerate the acceptance and widescale adoption of graphene in a range of global industries. This will include the high-potential paints, coatings and composites industries, where the properties of AGM’s graphene application technology can offer outstanding enhancements and where we are already gaining strong commercial traction.”
