PRESS RELEASE
Suststeel
The innovation in the anti-corrosion protection of structural steel
POLYCHIMIKI G. MATZIARIS S.A. - UZIN Hellas in collaboration with the Laboratory of Building Materials of the School of Civil Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has registered the Patent of the Suststeel system, which concerns sustainable, hybrid, nanostructured, anti-corrosion coating series for structural steel bars.
This teamwork was implemented within the framework of the Recovery Plan for Europe through the Action "Investment Projects of Innovation" of the Central Macedonia Program NSRF 2021 - 2027 (KMP6-02817). The patent, issued by the Industrial Property Organization of Greece (OBI) with patent number 20250100072, is an important milestone in the development of anti-corrosion products for the protection of structural steel.
The Suststeel system is a pioneering technology that will increase the Life Cycle of structural steel and reinforced concrete and consequently, the sustainability of structures. The protection of structural steel with the Suststeel system will improve its antioxidant properties, both during its transportation and storage, as well as during its final integration into the concrete environment, offering sustainability at very little additional cost.
