**Applied Graphene Materials** ([LON:AGM](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/applied-graphene-materials/agm.l))
CEO Dr Adrian Potts joins DirectorsTalk to discuss its break-through Anti-corrosion
graphene technology, what this means for the company now and whats next for AGM.

3,000-hour trials of AGM’s proprietary Genable® dispersions have delivered a more
than fivefold improvement in rust protection enabling significant opportunities 
in its industrial coatings target market. The development has resulted in AGM being
nominated as a finalist for the 2019 Corrosion Industry Innovation Award as the 
successful technology continues to gain traction and industry recognition.

Applied Graphene Materials works in partnership with its customers using its knowledge
and expertise to provide custom graphene dispersions and formats to deliver enhancements
and benefits for a wide range of applications. The Group’s strategy is to target
commercial application in three core markets: coatings, composites and polymers 
and functional fluids.

The Group has developed proprietary bottom-up processes which are capable of producing
high-volume graphene nanoplatelets using a continuous process. The manufacturing
processes are based on sustainable, readily available raw materials and therefore
do not rely on the supply of graphite, unlike a number of other graphene production
techniques. Applied Graphene Materials owns the intellectual property and know-how
behind these processes.

Applied Graphene Materials was founded in 2010 with its operations and processes
based on technology that Professor Karl Coleman initially developed at Durham University.
The Group was admitted to AIM in November 2013.
