Why is corten steel often used in ECO-CONSERVATION projects

Why is weathering steel often used at the ECO-CONSERVATION projects?

As you know, In recent years, extreme weather and climate such as earthquakes, fires, floods, big ice and snow,also viruses have become more and more common. This has also caused us human beings to pay attention to the public environment, and of course, human beings have a strong sense to protect our ecological environment. 

Also modern people are more interested in the natural beauty that can make our body and mind healthy and happy.

How weathering steel plays an ECO-CONSERVATION role?

First, corten steel does not need to be painted when it as the construction materials, like corten steel building facade, planters, house roof...... It has its own natural rust color.

Secondly, corten steel building, house, roof, planters...don’t need to maintenance. Like the best aluminum, color steel surface color can only support 15 years, after which it will need to be repainted or removed and redone! But corten steel constructions can stand for hundreds of years. The rust color on its surface will not only not fall off, but will become more firmer and thicker.

Thirdly, corten steel is one kind of alloy steel, even if the common steel is a much tougher material than others. However the weathering and anti-corrosion property of Corten-A is 5~8 times as high as common steel. What's even more surprising is that the natural layer of rust that forms on corten steel own surface prevents further corrosion of the substrate inside. So it will last for more than 100 years, even in very harsh environments.

Fourthly, Many people worry that the weathering steel surface will also have rust stains fall off and rust water early to pollute the environment. Henan troyiker company can solve this questions that we will prepare rust-promoting and rust-stabilizing treatment of the corten steel surface before installation. This method greatly reduces the formation time of the stabilized rust layer and avoids environmental pollution. Henan troyiker produces results that match the color and texture of the naturally occurring rust layer.

Henan troyiker has an absolute advantage in rust treatment of weathering steel surfaces. We have established our own laboratory for rust treatment technology and invested a lot of money in independent research and development. And from light yellow to dark reddish brown, any colour in between Troyiker can make. Whether it is the rust promoter or the rust fixing agent we use, it is environmentally friendly and will not cause any harm to the animals and plants around the building.

Finally, many kind of weathering steel buildings, corten steel plants are builded in desert area, islands, coastland...... Also some of the renovation of buildings. The qualities of weather resistant steel that are not afraid of harsh environments contribute greatly to eco-conservation. and corten steel constructions, weathered gardens over time, he surface color will change from light yellow all the way to dark reddish-brown, leaving the imprint of time, and even era.
