en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canada's HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. and Australia's Sparc Technologies Limited have signed a letter of intent to jointly advance the application of graphene in protective coating additives. The two parties plan to reach a final commercial agreement within approximately 12 months based on performance test results.

Preliminary laboratory tests show that adding HydroGraph's graphene to water-based coating systems reduces scribe creep corrosion by 39% to 60%. Subsequent cyclic corrosion testing will be conducted in solvent-based systems using the ISO 12944 standard to evaluate long-term anti-corrosion performance.

This collaboration combines Sparc's ecosparc® additive platform with HydroGraph's graphene materials specifically designed for industrial applications, aiming to extend the lifespan of steel infrastructure in industries such as energy, marine, mining, and transportation. Existing coating formulations can directly incorporate the ecosparc® additive, reducing maintenance costs.

The two companies plan to jointly promote the commercialization of graphene-containing coatings, with a focus on expanding into North American and global markets.
