Noru Paint Develops Concrete Carbonation Prevention Paint with GS Construction

Noru Paint announced on the 14th that it has jointly developed a high-performance water-based paint, 'Cupid Protect,' with GS Construction.

Cupid Protect functions to prevent concrete carbonation caused by carbon dioxide penetration, thereby enhancing the durability and strength of buildings. It is also characterized by excellent resistance to chloride ion penetration and high water impermeability.

During the product development phase, the two companies completed quality verification of durability through various tests and evaluations. They obtained test certificates including accelerated weathering evaluation reports and certifications such as KS M 6010 Type 1 Grade 1 and KS F 4936 from the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR), a testing organization that verifies corporate safety and standard compliance.

Cupid Protect demonstrated its durability by meeting the 1000-hour condition in the accelerated weathering test, which evaluates product functionality using artificially accelerated natural conditions. The joint patent application for the product is currently underway, with commercialization imminent.

This collaboration originated from the increased awareness of safety needs in the domestic construction market. To develop a product tailored to the diverse domestic environmental characteristics influenced by terrain and climate, Noru Paint, with its specialized paint research and development capabilities, and GS Construction, possessing on-site construction skills and experience, began joint research last year and succeeded in development.

A Noru Paint representative stated, "Joint development with a construction company allows us to confirm market needs, which greatly helps in developing products suited to field environments and improving technological capabilities." He added, "We will continue to do our best in researching and developing high-performance paints to contribute to the advancement of the domestic construction industry."
