Next generation chromium free primers for galvanised steel

该项目旨在开发一种新的无铬底漆家族，以保护镀锌钢免受腐蚀。耐腐蚀性是镀锌钢耐久性的关键因素，镀锌钢通常由底漆和面漆保护，从而延长寿命并提供美观。底漆涂层中含有铬酸盐。铬酸盐的毒性是公认的，但尽管如此，不幸的是它们仍然是行业标准。对无铬底漆的需求非常迫切，本项目旨在进行基础研究，以使其能够发展。

This project aims to develop a new family of chrome-free primers to protect galvanised steel against corrosion. Corrosion resistance is a critical factor in durability of galvanised steel, which is usually protected from corrosion by a primer and topcoat, which prolong life and provide aesthetics. The primer coating contains chromates. Chromates are recognised for their toxicity, but in spite of this they unfortunately remain the industry standard. Chromate-free primers are urgently required, and this project aims to conduct fundamental research to enable their development.
