Posco is showcasing the various applications of its PosART printing technology and PosMAC steel coating at restoration sites of palaces and royal tombs managed by the Korea Heritage Service.
 
PosART is Posco’s advanced resolution printing technology. It is a high-resolution premium inkjet print steel plate capable of vivid color and delicate texture representation, with a resolution up to four times higher than existing products on the market.
 
PosMAC, which stands for Posco Magnesium Aluminum Alloy Coating, is a highly corrosion-resistant steel plate developed with Posco’s unique technology.
 
The Royal Palaces and Tombs Center of the Korea Heritage Service held a commemorative event on April 25 to reveal the “Art Fence” screen created with PosART in the Seonwonjeon area of Deoksu Palace in Seoul.
 
Last August, Posco Group and the Korea Heritage Service signed an agreement to improve the design of restoration sites of palaces and royal tombs and to promote the use and recycling of steel.
 
They have since collaborated in four areas: sponsoring steel plates for the Art Fence to enhance design environments, supporting reviews on structural design to reduce steel usage, promoting the recycling of steel, and facilitating the preservation and research utilization of traditional ironworks from royal palaces and tombs.
 
The PosART Art Fence is the first achievement derived from the collaboration between Posco Group and the Korea Heritage Service.
 
Instead of using plastic panels and sheets for screens positioned at cultural heritage restoration sites, this new initiative improves the public landscape by applying Posco Steeleon's PosART technology upon PosMAC, a special corrosion-resistant steel.
 
PosART Art Fences have been installed within and outside the Seonwonjeon site at Deoksu Palace, and in three locations at Yeonghundang in Gyeongbok Palace.
 
The design of the fences was created by Lee Myoung-ho, a photographer and honorary ambassador for the Royal Palaces and Tombs Center, and contains motifs such as the pagoda tree that remains at the Seonwonjeon site.
 
PosART is being utilized in other various public facilities as well.
 
Last April, Posco installed large information boards for Seoul Trail 2.0 made with PosART in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
 
The Seoul Metropolitan Government then introduced Seoul Trail 2.0 to the public after subdividing the courses of Seoul's representative walking trail and enhancing its accessibility.
 
Posco supported the production of information boards, featuring PosART to display the upgraded Seoul Trail with an introduction of the entire route.
 
These boards were designed to enhance visibility with unified colors and design, while the application of PosART technology on PosMAC secured aesthetic appeal and durability.
 
Posco and the Seoul Metropolitan Government installed PosART Seoul Trail 2.0 information boards at six key locations in different spots of the revamped trail, such as Achasan Park, Hwagyesa Temple and Maeheon Citizen's Forest.
 
Posco plans to continue its efforts to convey a new identity of steel to citizens through various projects utilizing PosART in the future.
