GIT’s patented coating enables ship operators to reach peak efficiency and optimal vessel performance. As Canada’s leading graphene protective coatings company, GIT is focused on using graphene to deliver solutions for a wide range of applications, including marine transportation. GIT’s smart coatings technologies aim to tackle and solve complex issues by being part of the solution, with the end goal of solving the environmental crisis and saving money for the shipping industry.
Expand and upgrade production facility
Commercialize graphene marine coating
Establish a production facility for graphene coating
Ice-class coatings are specialized protective coatings designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered by ships operating in polar regions and ice-infested waters. These coatings must provide excellent resistance to both corrosion and ice-induced abrasion. Some key requirements for coatings considered as ice-class coatings are as following: Ice Abrasion Resistance Corrosion Protection Low Friction Impact resistance Flexibility UV resistance High adhesion resistance Low Environmental Impact Easy Application and Maintenance Compliance with Regulations Hydrophobic Properties Non-toxic The
The goal of the project is to develop a graphene coating that will prevent corrosion and bio-fouling in marine applications.

The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.
A new ultra-durable hard foul release marine coating for ice breaking and ice-resistant vessels will be developed using proprietary technology. This will positively impact the performance of vessels navigating Arctic waters that currently do not have adequate protection from marine growth.
The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.
Preparation of a comparative life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the a new environmentally friendly coatings that is being developed by Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT) and a benchmark marine coating such as: antifouling biocide-based, copolymer auto polishing, or foul release marine coatings. Graphene-based coatings have demonstrated to be a suitable eco-friendly alternative to protect ship hulls against corrosion and biofouling. The significance of this project is to demonstrate and model graphene-based coatings versus traditional marine coatings to reduce marine industry emissions while
