Levidian launches NanoFlow™S1-20, making graphene integration into paints and coatings simpler than ever
New drop-in graphene additive makes it easier than ever for coatings manufacturers and asset owners to evaluate graphene in existing solvent-based coating systems
Cambridge, UK, 19 August 2026 - Levidian has announced the launch of NanoFlow™S1-20, the first product in its new NanoFlow™ range of graphene dispersions, designed to make it faster and easier for the coatings industry to evaluate and adopt graphene.
NanoFlow™S1-20 is a high concentration graphene coating additive containing 20 wt.% Levidian G3 graphene, pre-dispersed in xylene. Developed as a simple drop-in solution for solvent-based paint and coating systems, it can be blended using standard paint mixing equipment into either Part A of a two-part coating system or directly into a one-part formulation.
The product has been developed to remove one of the key barriers to graphene adoption: incorporating high-quality graphene into coating formulations consistently and efficiently. By providing a ready-to-use dispersion, NanoFlow™S1-20 enables paint manufacturers, formulators and industrial end users to rapidly evaluate the performance benefits of graphene without the complexity of developing their own dispersion processes.
Potential benefits of incorporating G3 graphene into solvent-based coatings include:
Improved barrier properties – significantly reducing the permeation of air, H2, moisture and other chemical species
Enhanced corrosion protection, leading to longer lasting coatings and improved asset protection
Lower friction coefficients and anti-fouling properties for reduced drag in air or marine applications
Improved flame retardancy and UV stability
Opportunities to reformulate coatings to reduce weight - via reduced heavy metal content - and environmental footprint
NanoFlow™S1-20 is suitable for a broad range of solvent-based coating applications, from protective industrial coatings and marine paints through to infrastructure, energy and transport applications.
The launch marks the beginning of Levidian's NanoFlow™ product family, which is intended to provide customers with application-ready graphene dispersions tailored to different chemistries and end use markets.
Nasir Macadam, Principal Engineer at Levidian, said:
"Graphene has demonstrated significant potential to improve coating performance, but achieving a consistent, stable dispersion has often required specialist knowledge and additional development work. We created NanoFlow™S1-20 to remove that complexity."
"Customers can simply add the product into their existing solvent-based coating formulations using conventional mixing equipment and begin evaluating the benefits of graphene much more quickly. Whether you're a paint manufacturer developing the next generation of high-performance coatings or an asset owner looking to assess performance improvements in your existing coating systems, NanoFlow™S1-20 provides a straightforward route to incorporating graphene."
Levidian's G3 graphene is sustainably produced using the company's patented LOOP technology, which converts methane into hydrogen and high-quality graphene through a low temperature microwave plasma process. LOOP's modular architecture enables regional production close to demand, strengthening supply security while reducing the environmental impact associated with transporting advanced materials.
NanoFlow™S1-20 is available now for customer evaluation and product development programmes.
