Zincalume®

ZINCALUME® steel has been used with striking effect by leading architects to create the latest in modern building designs, through to classic roofing styles and rural sheds. 

BlueScope’s ZINCALUME® steel with Activate® technology has a unique aluminium/zinc/magnesium alloy coating (AM) which acts in three ways:

• Magnesium, aluminium and zinc compounds are strategically positioned in the coating to provide sacrificial protection. 
• Magnesium compounds encourage the formation of a robust barrier, slowing the rate of subsequent corrosion 
• Magnesium compounds also ‘activate’ the metal coating. The result is a tough protective coating that provides enhanced corrosion resistance.
