Valspar Powder Coatings Limited

The EDGETECT2 project will take findings from a previously funded feasibility study and develop new technical solutions to the pervasive problem of edge corrosion of fabricated steel products. Applying coatings over sharp edges typically results in the film pulling away during drying/curing due to surface tension effects. This leads to inadequate corrosio...

Corrosion of painted steel vehicles is a long standing issue facing the agricultural and construction equipment industry. Corrosion on coated parts often initiates at edges and has a significant economic impact. This project seeks to address this issue by understanding the interaction of the substrate and the coating at edges and how this influences the c...
