Fire resistant composites & coatings
Graphene and functionalized Graphene Oxide can form a thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer, enhancing a material's ability to protect against heat and flames.
We specialize in the development of graphene materials suitable for the development of high-performing fire resistant composites and coatings.
Enhance fire resistance of composites with graphene
Graphene’s impact
Graphene and graphene oxide-based composites can enhance flame resistance of polymers, conducting polymers, metal matrices, carbon–carbon matrices, and natural fibers.
Their incorporation into these materials can lead to significant improvements in flame retardancy as well as mechanical properties and thermal stability.
The versatility of graphene-based materials allows for their application across a broad spectrum of industries, including:
Aerospace
Building and construction
Electronics and energy storage
Automotive
Protective clothing
Maritime
Enhance textile fire safety with Graphene Oxide coatings
Traditional flame-retardant additives for textile contain halogens and phosphorus and when released into the environment, they can be harmful and toxic for people, animals, and nature.
GrapheneOxide can be applied as coating on textile fibres, then reduced to form a layer of reduced Graphene Oxide that effectively dissipates heat and gives improved flame-retardant properties to the fibers.

Supporting SDG 9 and 11
Graphene-enhanced composites support SDG 9 by enabling resilient infrastructure and sustainable industrial innovation, and they contribute to SDG 11 by promoting safer, more sustainable urban environments through fire-resistant and energy-efficient materials. Their application across diverse industries can lead to the creation of more durable and less resource-intensive infrastructure.
