New generation of polymeric films, LDPE-Graphene based, for industrial applications

Project description

New generation barrier coatings

Barrier coatings help provide properties such as humidity control, sealing properties and airtightness to products ranging from meat and medicines to building and textile materials. Materials currently in use however, often offer a limited performance, presenting also a risk to human health and the environment. The EU-funded GRAPHCOAT project affords a new generation of effective coating materials that are eco-friendly and economically viable. GRAPHCOAT is made of low-density polyethylene enhanced with high-quality and non-toxic graphene nanoplatelets. The new product has already raised the attention of many international clients in the field of industrial packaging, building insulation and protective clothing.
