Development Needs & Value Proposition
(1) Problem Definition / Development Background
-
Corrosion causes high maintenance costs and shortens the lifespan of infrastructure.
-
Fasteners and brackets often corrode before the main steel structure, becoming the weakest link.
-
Marine, offshore, and floating solar environments require stronger corrosion resistance than conventional coatings.
(2) Value Proposition / Solution
-
PoSSEN® protects steel connection parts from galvanic corrosion.
-
The solution extends infrastructure lifespan and reduces maintenance cycles.
-
It lowers lifecycle cost while reducing CO₂ emissions through low-temperature manufacturing.
Competitiveness
-
Galvanic Corrosion Prevention: Matches the electrical potential of PosMAC® and fasteners.
-
High Durability: PoSSEN® Marine Grade withstands 500+ CCT cycles.
-
Repeated Tightening: Maintains coating integrity even after repeated tightening.
-
Low-Carbon Process: Reduces CO₂ emissions by 36.6% compared with hot-dip galvanizing.
-
Cost Advantage: Provides approximately 40% total cost savings over a 10-year lifecycle.
