Henkel has launched a new anti-fingerprint coating portfolio for automotive displays that avoids PFAS and fluorine ingredients, pitching the products as a production-ready answer to stricter regulations and tougher durability demands.
Sparc Technologies says its ecosparc graphene additive is now being produced at a fully commissioned facility in Australia, giving the company commercial quantities for coatings trials and near-term customer opportunities. The milestone is a practical step toward broader industrial use of graphene-based anti-corrosion coatings.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has won U.S. EPA approval for its THERMAL-XR graphene-based coating, a regulatory step that allows the company to begin selling the product in the United States after years of development and earlier overseas approvals.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has cleared a major U.S. regulatory step for its THERMAL-XR ENHANCE coating, a graphene-based product designed to improve heat transfer on cooling coils and other thermal systems. The company says it accepted the EPA’s consent notice approval conditions on December 22, 2025, giving the product a path toward broader U.S. commercialization after earlier case-study work on HVAC and heat-exchange applications.
A Scientific Reports paper published April 11 describes a two-step superhydrophobic coating for steel that reported 96.5% corrosion protection, 161-degree water contact angle and durability after 1,100 mm of abrasion.
First Graphene has secured exclusive global rights to develop, market and sell a graphene-enhanced carbon paste already used in perovskite solar cells, a step that widens the company’s commercialization path beyond the lab and into manufacturing planning.
