CorrBench – our fight against corrosion!
Corrosion is talked about everywhere – in lecture halls, laboratories and even in everyday conversations. But where can you really find it? Because of our celebrations of CorrDays 2025, we decided not only to organize activities and competitions for you, but also to take matters into our own hands.
This is how the project CorrBench was born. This is our own initiative, which is to encourage action and draw attention to the problem of corrosion, which each of us has encountered at least once. As part of this project, we renovated one of the benches located next to the one of the building of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Silesian University of Technology.
What did we do?
– we replaced and properly secured the wooden seat and backrest,
– we cleaned and painted the metal frame with anti-corrosion paint,
– we cleared the area around the bench,
– we cut off the dry branches of the trees and shrubs growing nearby,
– we also planted a new magnolia, which we named Zuzia.
Thanks to these actions, the bench gained new life, and its surroundings became more pleasant and aesthetic.
It's never boring with us! Check out a short Instagram reel from the event [link] and a photo gallery..
We will publish the full material on our YouTube channel soon – stay tuned!
