Offering the following key benefits, ZINCALUME® steel is supplied by Coil Steels in sheet or coil form to customer specifications:

• Corrosion Resistance
  ZINCALUME® steel is coated with a combination of zinc, aluminium, and magnesium alloy, providing exceptional corrosion resistance. The aluminium in the coating acts as a protective barrier, preventing the underlying steel from direct contact with corrosive elements. This makes ZINCALUME® steel highly durable and suitable for applications in diverse environments, including coastal areas where salt spray is prevalent.

• Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
  ZINCALUME® steel features a distinct metallic silver finish that adds an attractive aesthetic to buildings and structures. This modern appearance allows for versatile design possibilities and architectural flexibility.

• Thermal Efficiency
  ZINCALUME® steel exhibits excellent thermal performance. The reflective properties of the metallic coating contribute to reducing heat absorption, thus helping to keep the interiors of buildings cooler in hot climates. This can lead to energy savings by reducing the need for excessive air conditioning.

• Lightweight and High Strength
  ZINCALUME® steel is a lightweight material that offers high strength. This combination makes it easier to handle during installation and reduces structural weight, allowing for cost savings and design flexibility.

• Longevity and Durability
  ZINCALUME® steel is renowned for its long lifespan and durability. The coating provides excellent resistance against corrosion, ensuring the material’s longevity and reducing maintenance requirements over time. ZINCALUME® steel is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and heavy rainfall.

• Environmentally Friendly
  ZINCALUME® steel is fully recyclable at the end of its lifespan. Its long lifespan and resistance to corrosion reduce the need for replacement, resulting in a reduced environmental impact compared to other materials.

• Compliance
  ZINCALUME® steel products conform to the appropriate Australian Standards for thickness, mechanical properties, coating mass, and other specifications. This ensures that the material meets rigorous quality and performance requirements.

• Termite and Fire Resistance
  ZINCALUME® steel is non-combustible, contributing to improved fire safety in buildings. It is also resistant to termites, eliminating the risk of structural damage caused by these pests.
