BC Fast Pilot - Scale up and pilot demonstration of a self-healing coating system for dynamic corrosion prevention
FY 2025-26 · 2025-07-01
Summary
The project aims to scale-up production of aminated self-healing coating tapes (“APE tapes”) for high impact industrial applications, focusing on the marine industry. These materials enable more cost-effective asset management through reduced maintenance cycles, lowered coating failure into marine waterways, and reduced asset deterioration due to steel corrosion.

Description
The project aims to scale-up production of aminated self-healing coating tapes (“APE tapes”) for high impact industrial applications, focusing on the marine industry. These materials enable more cost-effective asset management through reduced maintenance cycles, lowered coating failure into marine waterways, and reduced asset deterioration due to steel corrosion.
Description (French)
Le projet vise à augmenter la production de rubans adhésifs autocicatrisants aminés (« rubans APE ») destinés à des applications industrielles à fort impact, en particulier dans le secteur maritime. Ces matériaux permettent une gestion plus rentable des actifs grâce à la réduction des cycles de maintenance, à la diminution des défaillances des revêtements dans les voies navigables et à la réduction de la détérioration des actifs due à la corrosion de l’acier.
