Graphene Infused Coatings

Graphene infused Ceramic coatings are the latest in revolutionary advancements in the field of automotive protection. They are a semi-permanent, nano-technology based coating that provides a high level of gloss and shine to your vehicle's exterior, while also offering far superior protection against environmental elements. Graphene Oxide, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, is the fundamental structural element of other carbon allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes. It is renowned for its unique properties such as extraordinary strength, lightness, and conductivity. These properties make it an excellent material for a variety of applications, including automotive coatings.

​

Graphene infused Ceramic coatings are a type of ceramic coating that utilizes these exceptional properties of graphene. These coatings are applied as a liquid, which then hardens to form a transparent, protective layer on the surface of the vehicle. This layer is incredibly thin, yet it provides a high level of protection against a variety of environmental factors. The application of graphene coating involves a meticulous process that requires that the vehicle's surface are first thoroughly cleaned and prepped to remove any contaminants. The coating is then applied using a specific technique to ensure even distribution and optimal adhesion. Once applied, the coating needs to cure for a certain period before it is ready for use.

​

Graphene infused coatings offer a multitude of benefits. One of the most notable is its superior hydrophobicity, or water-repelling property. This characteristic ensures that water beads up and rolls off the surface, reducing the risk of water spots and mineral deposits. It also makes the vehicle easier to clean, as dirt and grime have a harder time sticking to the surface. Another significant benefit of graphene infused coatings is their resistance to UV rays and extreme temperatures. This resistance helps prevent the paint from fading and cracking, thereby preserving the vehicle's aesthetics and value. Furthermore, the coatings' hardness provides a strong defense against scratches and other physical damages.

​

Graphene infused Ceramic coatings works by creating a semi-permanent bond with the vehicle's paint. These coating's nano-sized particles penetrate into the pores of the paint, creating a protective layer that is resistant to chemical etching and oxidation. This layer also fills in the microscopic imperfections in the paint, resulting in a smoother and glossier surface. The coatings' graphene oxide particles also contribute to its exceptional heat dissipation properties. These particles can evenly distribute heat across the surface, reducing the risk of hot spots that can lead to paint damage. This feature is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to extreme heat conditions.

​

While both graphene and ceramic coatings offer high levels of protection, there are some key differences between the two. Ceramic coatings, for instance, are known for their hardness and gloss, but they can struggle with water spotting and heat dissipation. Graphene coatings, on the other hand, excel in these areas due to their unique properties.

​

Another difference lies in the application process. Ceramic coatings are typically easier to apply than graphene coatings, which require a more meticulous process for optimal results. However, many professionals argue that the superior performance and longevity of graphene coatings justify the additional effort and cost.
