| “ECO FRONTIER JN” is an environment-friendly chromate-free functional coated steel sheet for electrical appliances which was developed by JFE Steel in response to environmental needs. By developing an organic composite coating consisting of a original organic resin with a high barrier effect and inorganic inhibitors with a self-healing effect, JFE realized high corrosion resistance with a thin film for the first time in the world and succeeded in satisfying the mutual contradictory requirements of corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Because “JN” has excellent properties, which include corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance after alkaline degreasing, electrical grounding, weldability, anti-fingerprint property, and paint adhesion property, application in the internal parts of OA/AV equipment and electrical appliances is increasing. As related products, JFE Steel has also developed and commercialized various other functional chromate-free steel sheets in the “ECO FRONTIER” series which provide higher levels of corrosion resistance, formability, paint adhesion, lubricity, and other properties. |
