Korea’s major metallic protective coating engineering company, M.E.C, based in Kwangyang, Korea offers exclusively total engineering in steel facility. M.E.C started since 1990 engaging in the operation of plants relevant to metallic protective coatings through combinations of design, manufacture and supply ideally matched to specific applications. The company is in the process of modernizing technology and experience over decades of years to grow into the global strong engineering company enough to offer its exclusive technology to POSCO, Hyundai Steel and KG Steel of Korea. Lately, the company has developed a super corrosion prevention technology by employing zinc for the first time in the world receiving attention from the steel industry. M.E.C owns now 20 international licenses in liquid coating solution, corrosion resistance treatment facility and heat treatment simulation equipment, etc. involving in the metallic protective coating technology offering to steel mills in China and India.
With respect to the metal flash coating, the company has developed steel materials that can avert failure of coatings applicable to the hot dip process, and dent in the annealing process. Fe flash solution can be used almost permanently displaying excellent effect on high strength steel materials plus increasing productivity, saving costs and environment problems alike. Fe flash solution also enables to produce galvanized steel sheet which can be fined a tissue to no more than Spangle 100μm and the company is developing the technology to produce ones between Spangel 300~500μm. The developed coating technology also can increase product quality as well as corrosion resistant properties including anti-orange peel, anti-galling, anti-oil stain and anti-black stain. This technology is called a landmark metallic protective coating technology applicable to various coated steel products including Galvalume.
Besides, M.E.C has developed the metallic protective coating facility that can overcome any systemic limits, thereby the vertical type EGI plant can produce excellent EGI enough to match the horizontal type GI products. M.E.C also is underway commercializing the black plate coating technology which can increase substantially heat removal function. This can enhance the heat removal performance virtually through applying the vacuum steam protective coating technology on coated steel materials and at the same time yielding excellent corrosion resistance and affordability as well. For the other part of the protective coatings, M.E.C has developed its unique testing device and began to offer a simulating equipment to follow up with in real time the coating and heat treatment processes, thereby succeeding in the import substitution, the company official emphasized.
