​Royalton and PETRONAS partner to validate graphene-enhanced underwater epoxy coating for corrosion protection 

Royalton Coating Systems has announced a collaboration with PETRONAS Technology Ventures (PTVSB), the technology commercialization arm of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), to validate a graphene-enhanced underwater epoxy coating aimed at improving corrosion protection in marine and industrial environments.

The partnership focuses on upgrading Royalton’s ROYALPOXY UW 410 underwater epoxy system with ProShield+™, a graphene-based additive developed by PETRONAS. The enhanced coating is currently undergoing evaluation for use in harsh conditions, including offshore platforms, pipelines, jetty structures, and marine vessels – applications where continuous exposure to seawater, humidity, and chemicals significantly accelerates material degradation.
