Italian company introduces heat-generating conductive graphene paint 2025-08-20 Italian company Be Dimensional has developed a conductive graphene paint that generates heat through the Joule effect (when electricity flows through it). This product was developed and certified in collaboration with the University of Genoa and its subsidiary company BuildTech. The system features high thermal conductivity and easy installation, and it offers up to 40% higher energy savings compared to traditional electric heaters. Its operating cost can compete with that of heat pumps, but it requires lower investment and maintenance. The application is very simple: the coating is applied just like traditional coatings, connected to copper electrodes, and it can emit long-wave infrared radiation. This form of heat does not warm the air; instead, it acts directly on the surface of objects and the human body, providing a pleasant sense of thermal comfort. Due to the absence of moving parts, the system operates silently and does not cause air stratification. It has wide applications and high energy efficiency. This heating coating can be applied to common building materials such as gypsum board, PVC board, and sandwich panels. Tests have confirmed that it possesses high electrical stability, stable temperature performance (with an average power consumption of 35 W/m²), and a rapid response to changes in power. At full load, the surface temperature can exceed 110°C. This technology is applicable to both new construction projects and renovation projects, as well as to modular buildings in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. It is particularly advantageous in humid areas such as bathrooms or basements, as its direct surface heating helps prevent condensation and mold growth. Designers benefit from its ability to integrate heating functions invisibly, providing greater freedom in space planning. With this innovation, Be Dimensional has demonstrated the industrial scalability of its 2D crystal technology, reinforcing its role as a pioneer in sustainable energy solutions.
