Cortec® Makes Its Mark at EUROCORR 2023!
September 20, 2023
Cortec® was well represented among the approximately 1,000 delegates present at EUROCORR 2023, August 27th-31st in Brussels, Belgium. This year’s “Annual Congress of the European Federation of Corrosion” focused on “driving corrosion prediction and protection towards a circular economy,” an excellent match with Cortec’s longtime efforts to pursue sustainability and environmental responsibility in this industry.
Ivana Radić Boršić (VP Sales, Europe), Ivan Rogan (CorteCros® EVP & General Manager), and Šejla Zukić (Product & Market Development Specialist, Europe) hosted the Cortec® booth, where they welcomed familiar faces, new potential customers, students interested in learning about Cortec® Technology, and faculties from the University of Zagreb who have already studied Cortec® products.
It was an honor to have Professor Marijana Serdar of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Zagreb present a paper on MCI®-2006 entitled “Development of cement with increased corrosion protection capacity through introduction of powder inhibitor” for the “Corrosion and Scale Inhibition” track of the technical program. Ivana Boršić also presented a paper, developed in conjunction with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture at the University of Zagreb, on the topic of M-645 float coat for protection of oil tanks made of mild steel.
In addition to contributing to the technical program, Cortec® had the chance to attend several technical sessions, many of which focused on green solutions in corrosion prevention. Of particular interest was the joint session on “Corrosion issues of electric vehicles and e-mobility systems” that talked about the common challenges of electronics and battery corrosion in electric vehicles.
As usual, it was great to connect and exchange knowledge with many others in the industry. Thanks to all who stopped by the Cortec® booth. We look forward to another great year of making new discoveries to share with each other at EUROCORR 2024!
