Environmentally friendly passivation technology
Chromium-free passivation (such as silane treatment) meets the RoHS directive.
Composite coating
Alu-Zn + PVDF coating (such as PPGL), weather resistance is improved to 30 years.
High reflective coating
Specialized for solar backplane (reflectivity ≥ 80%, improve power generation efficiency).
Selection and use suggestions
Coating selection
Coastal/industrial areas: AZ150 or above (high corrosion resistance).
Dry inland: AZ75-AZ100 (cost saving).
Processing Notes
After cutting, the edge needs to be sprayed with zinc-aluminum repair paint.
Avoid direct contact with copper and stainless steel (galvanic corrosion).
Frequently asked questions
Q1: Can aluminum-zinc plating replace stainless steel?
Some scenarios can: such as building roofs (the cost is only 1/3 of stainless steel), but chemical equipment still needs stainless steel.
Q2: How long is the service life of galvalume?
Ordinary environment: 25-30 years (coating AZ150).
Industrial area: 15-20 years (need to check the incision regularly).
Q3: How to identify inferior galvanized steel sheets?
Surface: uniform matte silver-gray, no zinc flower (galvanized steel sheets have zinc flower patterns).
Measure the coating: XRF spectrometer detects the aluminum-zinc ratio.
