[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Minjae] Samhwa Paint Industrial announced on the 24th that it has developed a biomass coating for PCM (Pre-Coated Metal) steel sheets.


Samhwa Paint Industrial developed a product that replaces part of the solvent, the main raw material of the coating, with extract components from agricultural waste such as corn. The company explained that developing this product is more challenging than general coatings because PCM steel sheets are pre-coated during the production process and shipped as finished products immediately after forming.


Samhwa Paint commissioned the Korea Apparel Testing & Research Institute to verify that the developed biomass coating contains bio-based carbon, and the verification has been completed. Currently, the product has completed trial production at a steel company.



A representative from Samhwa Paint stated, “We will contribute to the expansion of eco-friendly coating use by developing biomass-based products applicable to architectural and general industrial coatings in the future.”
