CMISA posted an articleCanadian Mo AlGermozi says graphene makes hull coatings tough, biocide-free and super smooth see more
Canadian entrepreneur Mo AlGermozi has found a way to put graphene into a hull coating and apply it to ships. The result, he said, is a coating that is tough enough to handle icy waters, does not have any biocides but keeps hull growth to a minimum and is extremely smooth so vessel performance does not deteriorate. His start-up is Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT), a spin-off from his research into graphite at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia about a decade ago. After he discovered how to make his own graphene from graphite while studying material engineering, he and co-founder Marciel Gaier launched GIT to focus on the maritime industry.
The company now has several vessels’ hulls coated with his product and has moved to bigger offices, still in Nova Scotia.
