AGM to showcase latest graphene technology at coatings industry events

Applied Graphene Materials (LSE:AGM), the producer of specialty graphene nanoplatelet dispersions, is pleased to announce that it will be taking part in two events over the coming months across its key market sectors. AGM plans to showcase the Company's latest developments in graphene dispersion technology at both the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo and the American Coatings Show (ACS).

At the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo in San Antonio, an event which brings together the former CORROSION (NACE) and Coatings+ events into a new combined five-day conference, the AGM team will be showcasing its graphene products for anti-corrosion coatings. A full programme of technical symposia, forums and workshops makes this one of the industry's leading global sources of knowledge, innovation, networking and collaboration opportunities. 

AGM's graphene nanoplatelet dispersions offer an innovative approach to combatting corrosion which is a more environmentally friendly alternative to zinc-based chemistries. Formulators can maximise the potential of existing additives in synergy with graphene to significantly extend the life of coating materials.

In April 2022, the Company will also be attending the American Coatings Show (ACS), hosted by the American Coatings Association (ACA). As one of the premiere events for the coatings industry in North America, ACS returns in person and invites industry experts from around the world to highlight their latest developments and technology for industrial paints and coatings.

Notes to Editors

Applied Graphene Materials - For the last decade, AGM has been at the forefront of harnessing the possibilities of graphene. Founded originally by Professor Karl Coleman, the Group has grown from an academic idea from Durham University to a world leader in the development and application of graphene nanoplatelet dispersions for customers in the coatings, composites and functional materials sectors.

The Group utilises its proprietary bottom-up manufacturing process to produce high purity graphene nanoplatelets. Its expertise in dispersion chemistry enables AGM to create optimised, stable and easy to handle dispersions that customers use in real-world industrial products. AGM's unique approach enables industries to fully realise the potential of graphene in a simple, safe and easy to formulate way. 

AGM, based at the Wilton Centre on Teesside, was admitted to AIM in November 2013, raising £11 million. The Group successfully raised £8.5m in January 2016, £9.8m in November 2017 and a further £6m gross in January 2021. The Group's shares are also cross-traded on OTCQX in the United States. As a result of the funding support and its industry leading technology platform, AGM has been able to develop a significant sales distribution network covering Europe, North America and Asia. The Group continues to work closely with industrial partners, and has seen the successful launch of numerous commercial products enhanced by its Graphene Dispersions.
