S3 Chemistry Visit to Highland Colour Coaters

A group of S3 chemistry pupils visited Highland Galvanizers and Colour Coaters in Blairlinn Industrial Estate on Tuesday 22 May.

The visit included a presentation from the Business Director Geoff Crowley and a tour of the factory, which all the pupils thoroughly enjoyed. The pupils learned about the processes involved in galvanizing steel structures to protect them from corrosion and coating metals with a variety of colours. They also learned how Arria “The Angel of the Nauld” was galvanised by the company.
