Why is ColorbondR steel greener on the other side of the fence? Designing additives to retard weathering of surface coatings

COLORBONDR钢材是BlueScope steel Limited的旗舰预涂钢产品，无论是安装在屋顶，墙壁还是节水配件（水箱，水管等），都已成为郊区和内陆景观的标志性组成部分。该提案旨在详细了解在使用过程中遇到的热量和辐射水平所带来的COLORBONDR钢表面涂层分子水平变化。这些见解将进一步提高COLORBONDR钢材的使用寿命和美观耐用性，确保BlueScope在国内建筑市场上取得持续的经济成功，从而使全国供应链的制造业社区受益。

COLORBONDR steel, the flagship pre-painted steel product of BlueScope Steel Limited, has become an iconic part of both suburban and outback landscapes whether installed as roofing, walling or water conservation accessories (tanks, down-pipes etc). This proposal aims to provide a detailed understanding of molecular level changes in COLORBONDR steel surface coatings brought about by levels of heat and radiation encountered in-service. These insights will lead to further improvements in both lifetime and aesthetic durability of COLORBONDR steel, ensuring continuing economic success of BlueScope in the domestic building market with consequent benefits to manufacturing communities throughout the supply-chain nationwide.
