Objectif
The aim of this project is to improve aesthetic durability of steel sheets surfaces, both in stainless and coil-coated steel, by means of clear coatings resistant to those aesthetic damages, e.g. fingerprints and scratches that reduce the "value" of steel sheets in applications where appearance is essential. Wide attention will be paid for understanding the nature and processes of aesthetic damage and for defining specific tests of surface resistance/sensitivity to such damages. The influence of various parameters on coating behaviour will be considered, e.g. coating thickness, mechanical properties, disperse of inorganic nanoparticles and curing degree. Different types of coatings will be developed, applied in laboratory and on pilot lines, and carefully characterised, with special attention for UV-curable coatings that appear to be environmentally and industrially advantageous.
