Coastal corrosion protection

THERMAL-XR⁠® for coastal corrosion protection

For coastal resorts, hotels and businesses, salty air can accelerate air-conditioner corrosion, shorten asset life and make replacement costly, especially on high-rise buildings.

What is THERMAL-XR⁠®

A graphene-powered coating system for air-cooled HVAC‑R equipment

THERMAL-XR⁠® is an air-conditioning coating system powered by GMG Graphene. GMG frames it as a way to resist corrosion and rust by helping repel moisture, with a 5-year product warranty when regular six-month cleaning is maintained.

It is suitable for aluminium and copper fins and tubes used in air-cooled air-conditioning equipment, and can be applied to new or existing units on site without removing them from the building.

Resists corrosion, rust and moisture on exposed HVAC‑R surfaces.

Supports heat transfer and thermal efficiency in the coated system.

Helps extend service life where coastal corrosion drives replacement cost.

THERMAL-XR⁠® gives coastal operators another route before replacement becomes the only practical answer.

Why choose THERMAL-XR⁠®

Three reasons to choose THERMAL-XR⁠® for coastal HVAC‑R

The coastal-corrosion story is strongest when it stays practical: protect exposed coils, maintain heat transfer and reduce the pressure to replace equipment early.

Superior corrosion protection

GMG cites ASTM B117 salt sea spray testing exceeding 20,000 hours, positioning the coating around asset protection and deferred capital investment.

Superior heat transfer

GMG connects THERMAL-XR⁠® to heat-transfer performance verified by the University of Queensland and potential energy-cost reduction.

Cleanliness and water resistance

The coating is presented as a nanotechnology route for increased long-term cleanliness and a water-resistant HVAC‑R surface.

A beachfront resort case for extending HVAC‑R unit life

Close to the ocean, the resort had previously replaced air conditioners because of corrosion. After THERMAL-XR⁠® application, GMG presents the expected life extension at 3-5 years.

For this page, the message is simple: coastal corrosion is not only cosmetic. It affects capital planning, access cost and the timing of equipment replacement.

THERMAL-XR⁠® gives hotels, resorts and coastal businesses a product route that protects exposed HVAC‑R assets while keeping heat-transfer performance in the story.

Frequently asked questions

THERMAL-XR⁠® HVAC

A short FAQ keeps the coastal page aligned with current THERMAL-XR⁠® support content.

What results should customers expect?

Results vary by climate, equipment age and condition, cleanliness, heating and cooling load and the health of the equipment.

Where can customers buy THERMAL-XR⁠®?

GMG directs customers to the THERMAL-XR⁠® distributors and partners page for regional availability.

Who can install THERMAL-XR⁠® HVAC?

GMG advises speaking with GMG or a local distributor or partner. Accredited applicators should install THERMAL-XR⁠® HVAC to support correct installation and warranty coverage.

Will a black coating absorb sun radiation and become hotter?

THERMAL-XR⁠® is powered by GMG Graphene and is described as removing heat through graphene, unlike typical black pigment that can absorb and retain heat.

Is THERMAL-XR⁠® coating specific to different industries?

THERMAL-XR⁠® HVAC is formulated for HVAC applications, while GMG states it is developing specific industry formulations to match other applications and conditions.
