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

作为BlueScope Steel Limited的旗舰预涂漆钢产品，COLORBONDR钢已成为郊区和内陆景观的标志性部分，无论是作为屋顶、墙面还是节水配件(水箱、下水管等)安装。该建议旨在详细了解COLORBONDR钢表面涂层在使用中遇到的热量和辐射水平带来的分子水平变化。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在国内建筑市场取得持续的经济成功，从而为全国整个供应链的制造业带来好处。

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.
