Dongkuk Steel Mill, a metal construction material maker in South Korea, has unveiled a new colored steel sheet product by applying biomass paint without any volatile solvent. The company will promote commercialization in the second half of 2022.
The paint on color-coated steel sheets consists of resin, solvent and pigment. The solvent used to control the viscosity of the paint generates carbon dioxide while being heated and dried. Dongkuk has developed a solvent-free color steel product called "Luxteel Biomass Uniglass."
