Graphene Coating Technology for Automobiles

Posted on by Haianh

1. What is Graphene Coating Technology?

Graphene is a structure consisting of two-dimensional Carbon atoms bonded together in a honeycomb lattice, similar to diamond molecules. It is a soft, flexible, durable mineral with excellent heat resistance and becomes very hard when solidified. Additionally, Graphene is harder than diamond but more elastic than rubber; harder than steel and lighter than aluminum. Graphene is also considered one of the strongest heat and electricity conductors. Therefore, Graphene technology can be used to enhance the strength of other materials.

Graphene is also used as a coating material, paint, conductive ink, and more. In the automotive industry, the super-hard and anti-static properties of Graphene make it resistant to dust accumulation when applied to cars. Graphene coating technology enhances the durability and impact resistance of car surfaces. Thus, Graphene is an optimal product for protecting the paintwork of automobiles and is trusted and chosen by many users.

There are two common types of Graphene coatings for automobiles:

  • Graphene Spray Sealant
    This product is manufactured for quick car care. As it is a spray form, Graphene Sealant can be easily and quickly applied. The process of applying Graphene Sealant is simple; users only need to clean and prepare the surface by removing dirt and wax.
  • Graphene Coating
    Graphene Coating requires highly skilled technicians and the material cost is higher. To apply Graphene Coating, users need to follow precise procedures because incorrect application can affect the quality and aesthetics of the car.

2. Advantages of Graphene Coating Technology

Thick, high-durability coating
Using Graphene coating enhances the durability and hardness of the paint surface. After application, the glossy paint layer reaches a hardness of 10H (H is a measure of material hardness used in the Mohs hardness scale, ranging from 1H to 10H).

Most Graphene coatings on the market today have a durability of at least 5 years, with some lasting up to 7 years. The lifespan of Graphene spray sealants ranges from 6 months to 1 year depending on the brand and care.

Prevents and minimizes water spots
Graphene has excellent water and heat resistance. Due to its chemical composition and honeycomb structure, Graphene has a higher contact angle, making water slide off the surface more easily compared to conventional coatings, reducing the appearance of water spots from moisture, rainwater, dew, and evaporation on hot surfaces.

Excellent dust resistance
Graphene’s anti-static properties prevent dust and other small particles from adhering, preventing them from settling on the coated surface.

Enhanced gloss, high durability
Nano-sized Graphene particles leave a smooth, glossy layer that enhances the shine and appearance of the car. Therefore, Graphene-coated cars have an impressive and perfect appearance with an extremely shiny paint layer, standing out from other vehicles.

Corrosion resistance against rain, acid, mineral deposits, and environmental factors
Graphene coating technology has attracted much attention for its corrosion resistance with a thickness of a few nanometers. Therefore, Graphene coating can resist corrosion from acid rain, mineral deposits, environmental factors, etc., on the paint surface.

Although Graphene coating technology has many outstanding advantages compared to conventional ceramic coatings, it also has some drawbacks:

  • The cost of Graphene coating is relatively high.
  • Graphene Coating requires skilled technicians, machinery, and complete tools because curing occurs rapidly, and the material has high hardness, demanding precise and technically correct application.

Environmental conditions with a lot of dust and constantly changing weather make it difficult for users to maintain the glossy appearance of their cars over time. Therefore, Graphene coating technology is an optimal choice for users to comprehensively protect their vehicles. However, since Graphene coating technology is not yet widespread, users need to be cautious when choosing reputable maintenance centers and highly skilled technicians to ensure their cars are well-protected and cared for.

The oil spill has contaminated 174 hectares of sea, beaches, and natural reserves in Peru. Despite cleanup efforts by authorities, the crude oil continues to spread, reaching up to 40 km from the initial location. The Peruvian government has demanded Repsol to compensate for the damages. Repsol attributes the oil spill to large Pacific Ocean waves caused by the Tonga volcanic event, claiming that the government did not issue any warnings. The company asserts that it has been working to address the incident.

Fishermen from the coastal district of Ventanilla, near Peru’s capital Lima, have gathered outside the La Pampilla refinery demanding compensation for their losses. La Pampilla is Peru’s largest oil refinery, holding over half of the country’s energy market share. The refinery has enclosed the affected areas, but the owner may face fines of up to $34.5 million. Environmental experts estimate that it may take up to two years to completely clean up the spilled oil.
