Sparc Technologies Limited announced that AkzoNobel has committed to supporting growing interest from the market for graphene enhanced protective coatings, and has confirmed the upcoming commercial availability of graphene enhanced Interzone 954.

This milestone represents the first widely used protective coatings product to incorporate the ecosparc graphene-based additive. The ecosparc enhanced Interzone 954 will be produced in AkzoNobel’s Australian manufacturing facility with product availability in Australia commencing in May 2026 on a made-to-order basis. Interzone 954 has an extensive global track record of excellent long-term performance and has been used widely on offshore oil & gas facilities, offshore wind towers, jetties and sluice gates, and petrochemical plants.

Sparc and AkzoNobel have been collaborating on lab testing and field trials for several years across multiple coatings formulations, including the Interzone 954 product. AkzoNobel’s commitment to release ecosparc enhanced Interzone 954 in its Australian product range has been made on the basis of an agreed price per kg for the ecosparc additive (commercial in confidence) and does not include a term or minimum volumes. Given the joint commitment does not include a term or minimum volume, investors are cautioned not to place reliance on the generation of revenue from the sale of ecosparc^® enhanced Interzone 954 in Australia. The contents of this announcement have been mutually agreed between the parties.
