What Graphenstone does
Graphenstone (legal entity: Industria Española para el Desarrollo e Investigación 2100, S.A.) is a Seville, Spain-based manufacturer of ecological paints and coatings, founded in 2013 with a headcount of 101-250 employees. The company's core technology combines high-quality artisanal lime — produced in Arab burning kilns powered by sustainable materials — with graphene nanotechnology, where graphene functions as a structural support mesh at the molecular level providing thermal conductivity, toughness, flexibility, strength, and uniformity. Products are mineral-based and incorporate photocatalytic properties (via titanium dioxide nanoparticles) that decompose organic compounds and inorganic gases, absorb CO2 during the carbonation/curing process, and contain zero VOCs, formaldehyde, microplastics, or petrochemical substances.
