The RESINSURF project, funded by the Interreg SUDOE programme, is continuing to make significant progress in the development of sustainable new surface treatments.
Launched in 2024, the RESINSURF project has now reached pilot phase 2, in which Titania is evaluating the industrial applicability of the technologies developed. Among the actions carried out are:
• The acquisition of materials and chemicals necessary for testing (aluminium sheets, lacquers, racks and bath reagents).
The implementation of ultrafiltration and control systems in the anodising and coating baths.
• The verification of the performance and durability of the new treatments compared to current standards using hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), in collaboration with the University of Cadiz and CIDETEC.
The initial results have confirmed the technical and environmental viability of these technologies, which offer effective corrosion protection for light alloys without compromising safety or the environment.
Scheduled to run until 2026, the RESINSURF project aims to replace coatings that use hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) with safer and more sustainable alternatives applicable in various industrial sectors. Within the consortium, Titania plays a key role in the validation phase of the new treatments thanks to its specialisation in testing techniques and its experience in research projects for sectors such as aeronautics.
