Metals are chemical elements capable of conducting electricity and heat, they have a luster characteristic and with the exception of mercury, they are solid at normal temperature.
Metals are one of the most used materials in the secondary and tertiary sector, which is called the sector of the economy where products are manufactured through industrial manufacturing.
One of the disadvantages of using metal is that it depends on the alloy, and they almost always tend to suffer corrosion.
Corrosion is a chemical process in which the mineral turns into rust. It is the response to a constant attack by salts, atmospheric agents, gases and / or natural organic substances.
In García Requejo we have developed our R + D + I, with the CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development)
It is focused in the development of a surface treatment that helps metals to avoid corrosion.
Our research began when we were developing the manufacture of luminaires for an important hotel in the Caribbean area, due to the climate we realized how the use of metals for outdoor areas corroded much faster than normal, this due to the salty climate of this region.
That is why with our Surface Treatment we are currently capable of developing a new generation of furniture and lighting solutions for exteriors with high added functional and aesthetic value, with anticorrosive properties and resistance to wear and impact.
The specific technical objectives derived from the above are:
Obtain new solutions for the protection of different types of base materials, both metallic (iron, stainless steel) and non-metallic (special high hardness and resistance plasters, wood), which report:
Eliminate the corrosion problems that currently occur in coatings applied to materials such as iron or stainless steel.
Prevent the appearance of color degradation phenomena (yellowing).
Improve by 50% the resistance against wear of surface finishes.
In the following QR you will be able to see in Augmented Reality our surface treatment on this product was applied Corten Steel.
