- PV PAINT has added nanotube-enhanced zinc-rich coatings to its commercial PERAPHENE™ portfolio, which are scheduled for market launch in Q3 2026.
- The new coatings are designed to provide long-term corrosion protection for critical assets operating in harsh industrial environments.
- Performance was validated through independent testing conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
PV PAINT, a member of Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group (PVN), has expanded its product range of high-performance protective coatings by introducing PERAPHENE™, including a special zinc-rich epoxy product enhanced with TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes. Designed for assets operating in highly corrosive environments—including offshore oil and gas platforms, refineries, petrochemical plants, storage tanks, and marine infrastructure—the coatings deliver long-term corrosion protection and mechanical durability in compliance with independent corrosion and adhesion testing.
"Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) help overcome key performance limitations of conventional zinc-rich coatings, enabling a new generation of protective systems with the improved durability of corrosion protection, and the ease of application," said Mr. Vu Duy Cuong, General Director of PV PAINT. "By incorporating SWCNT, we developed coating systems that demonstrate excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, and crack resistance during independent testing. The coatings successfully passed independent corrosion and adhesion tests, confirming compliance with internationally recognized industry standards for demanding operating environments. This product offers customers greater flexibility - for example, the ability to reduce coating thickness or zinc content while still ensuring long-term corrosion resistance. Following successful trials with Graphene-reinforced paint, we conducted independent tests on the application of SWCNTs in our products. The results demonstrated that each material offers distinct advantages. This has opened a new avenue of research aimed at diversifying the applications of SWCNTs and Graphene withinthe PERAPHENE™ range”.
"We are pleased to continue strengthening our collaboration with PV PAINT and look forward to supporting the commercialization of these next-generation coating systems in Q3 2026. By helping customers extend asset service life, reduce maintenance costs and improve the sustainability of corrosion protection, this innovation will also reinforce Vietnam's position as an emerging regional leader in advanced protective coating technologies for the energy and petrochemical industries," said Loyes Zhi, General Manager of OCSiAl Greater China.
