Innovation in corrosion protection of structural steel
THE POLYCHEMICAL C. MATZIARIS S.A. – UZIN Hellas in cooperation with the Structural Materials Laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has registered the patent of the Suststeel system, which concerns sustainable, hybrid, nanostructured, anti-corrosion coating lines for structural steel bars.
This teamwork was implemented in the framework of the Recovery Plan for Europe through the Action “Innovation Investment Projects” of the Central Macedonia NSRF 2021 – 2027 (KMP6-02817).
The patent, issued by the Hellenic Industrial Property Organization (OBI) with patent number 20250100072, is an important milestone in the development of corrosion protection products for the protection of structural steel.
The Suststeel system is an innovative technology that will increase the Life Cycle of structural steel and reinforced concrete and consequently the sustainability of structures.
Protecting structural steel with the Suststeel system will improve its antioxidant properties, both during its transportation and storage, and during its final integration into the concrete environment, offering sustainability at very low additional cost.
