Graphene-based performance additives are transforming the industrial world by meeting the technological and environmental challenges of the most demanding sectors. Carbon Waters, at the forefront of this revolution, is offering Graph’Up a range of ready-to-use high-performance additives. These products, the result of several years of research and development, can be easily integrated into industrial processes without the need for special equipment. The aim? To make significant improvements to the properties of materials. Find out more.
Graph’Up, Carbon Waters’ innovative and sustainable range of graphene-based performance additives
Developed by French company Carbon Waters, the Graph’Up range is based on the unique properties of graphene. It produces multifunctional additives capable of simultaneously improving several characteristics of materials: mechanical strength, corrosion protection, thermal and electrical conductivity.
These innovative solutions, which are compatible with a wide range of materials (resins, paints, polymers, composites, adhesives, etc.), simplify formulations by reducing the number of additives needed to obtain several properties. In this way, they optimise formulations while limiting the use of other additives that are difficult to use, particularly because of their toxicity, cost or supply difficulties.
Graph’Up additives combine low environmental impact with safety of use.
Designed in a sustainable way, with a circular economy approach thanks to the local production of Made in Europe raw materials, they meet the requirements of modern industrial processes.
Graph’Up: high-potential additives for industry
To protect against corrosion, strengthen mechanical resistance or optimise production processes, Graph’Up offers concrete solutions tailored to a wide range of sectors, including aeronautics, automotive, construction, defence, marine and renewable energy. Here’s an overview.
Graph’Up Oxi, performance additives to combat corrosion
Graph’Up Oxi additives provide powerful anti-corrosion protection, ideal for the most demanding environments. They are available in aqueous dispersion (Graph’Up Oxi W) and epoxy base (Graph’Up Oxi S) for solvent-based formulations. These additives are used in paints and varnishes. They provide effective protection against corrosion and help to extend the life of coatings in many sectors.
Graph’Up Oxi is equally suited to the building and industrial sectors. In the automotive industry, this additive provides improved protection for chassis and bodywork parts. It is also suitable for use in the aerospace industry for coatings on metal structures and exposed components.
Graph’Up Force, additives for mechanical reinforcement
Graph’Up Force, a high-performance graphene-based additive, reinforces the mechanical properties of materials. It increases their strength and durability.
How can it be used? Graph’Up Force can be used in a wide range of applications, including construction, where it is helping to decarbonise the building sector.
It improves the mechanical properties of low-carbon cements, positioned as an alternative to Portland cements, which are very efficient but much more emissive.
In the composite materials industry, it can be incorporated into structural parts used in a wide range of sectors, including aeronautics and renewable energies, in new-generation hydrogen tanks, for example.
These additives are also used in the automotive industry and in the manufacture of sports equipment such as bicycle frames and tennis rackets.
Optimising composites production processes with Graph’Up Optim
How can you improve your industrial processes? That’s the question Graph’Up Optim answers by reducing the time and temperature taken to cure composites.
These optimisations reduce costs and increase productivity in some industrial processes, while reducing CO2 emissions per Kg of composites produced.
This additive is designed to be used in a few industrial sectors, including energy storage and the automotive industry, where it aims to speed up the production of hydrogen tanks. In aeronautics, this type of high-performance graphene-based additive will simplify the manufacture of complex parts, enabling production rates to be increased. And the renewable energies sector is benefiting particularly from it to improve the production of wind turbine blades.
