Graphene coatings double the protective life of power pole towers.

"This is the first time graphene's heavy corrosion-resistant feature

has been used in grid facilities, with performance at least twice as high as conventional coatings, allowing the tower to last more than 10 years." Yesterday, graphene heavy anti-corrosion function coating in Zhenhai 220KV temple and substation application, this is the first time the coating used in electrical equipment.
" coastal areas due to high air humidity and high salt fog, resulting in coastal transmission pole tower corrosion than inland areas 3 to 5 times faster. Pu Jibin, a researcher at the Ningbo Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told reporters that the use of graphene heavy anti-corrosion functional coatings can improve the reliability and safety of the long-term operation of the power grid, while reducing the cost of grid construction and maintenance.
At present, the new graphene heavy anti-corrosion function coating has been applied in Zhenhai, Beilun, Zhangzhou and other coastal areas, to achieve the coastal substations, transformers, isolation switches and other transmission and transmission facilities equipment long-term anti-corrosion.
