corrosion protection.
Its technological license has been resold in many countries, and ZINCALUME® is now the benchmark steel for corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments.
ZINCALUME® steel is coated with 150 g/m² of zinc-aluminium alloy (AZ150) on both sides as standard. It is protected from atmospheric corrosion by the two intrinsic properties of zinc and aluminum:
A protective barrier: the zinc/aluminium coating itself insulates the steel from the corrosive environment, as it is resistant and non-porous.
Sacrificial protection: steel exposed in uncoated areas (scratches, cut edges, holes) is protected by the sacrifice of nearby zinc.
For additional corrosion protection, a paint coating adapted to the Caledonian climate can be applied to the ZINCALUME® substrate.
