Using the graphene dispersions provided by AGM, the coating developed by Stanvac-Superon Group will reduce contact resistance.
The Stanvac-Superon Group, an Indian manufacturer of industrial repair and maintenance solution, has recently announced that it has developed a speciality conductive coating for industrial power transmission equipment that incorporates the Genable A-GNP35 graphene dispersions of Applied Graphene Materials (AGM).
The new protective and conductive coating, that has already been successfully tested, allows to reduce contact resistance in coated copper and aluminium electrical cable joints in order to reduce the power lost over the connection. By using the graphene-based 8079 (A) Power-Plus coating, it is possible to achieve a reduction in contact power loss between 30% and 50%.
“Our easy-to-use graphene dispersions have again been successfully incorporated into high performance coatings applications, and enabled our customer to achieve a 30-50% improvement in their product’s performance. This once again reflects the success of AGM’s approach to customer engagement and customer product development. Combining our expertise in formulating and dispersing nanomaterials, we deliver a customised solution to achieve excellent performance gains in customer products,” stated Adrian Potts, the CEO of AGM.
“We are indeed impressed with the performance of the AGM graphene dispersions and thank them for all their technical support and assistance in this development,” added Sanjay Mehra, the Managing Director of Stanvac-Superon Group.
The product is expected to be used for power transmission, electrical distribution and railways, as well as for other high energy consumers such as steel mills, smelters and refineries.
