Case Study: RGO Dispersion in Conductive Coatings
🧪 Project Background
A domestic anti-corrosion coating company recently partnered with us to evaluate our RGO dispersion in water-based conductive paint systems. The goal: improve surface conductivity without affecting viscosity or adhesion.
🔬 Materials & Method
-
Product Used: 0.5 mg/mL aqueous RGO dispersion
-
Procedure: Mixed via ultrasonic dispersion (3 mins), no surfactant added
-
Substrate: Aluminum panels (pre-treated)
-
Loadings: 0.2–0.6 wt%
📈 Results
-
Surface resistance dropped by 64% on average;
-
Coating showed good film formation, minimal agglomeration;
-
Maintained adhesion grade 1 (GB/T 9286 standard).
The client was especially satisfied that the material was ready-to-use without extra modification or pH adjustments.
🔄 Next Step
They are now considering testing our graphene-CNT composite slurry in thermal coatings.
🧠 Takeaway
Dispersible graphene can be a game-changer for functional coatings — especially when stability and compatibility are critical.
