World Leading Steel Technology
By harnessing its world leading technological resources, BlueScope Steel is continually improving ZINCALUME® steel.
So, when you choose ZINCALUME® steel you can be confident that you're also reaping the benefits of our intensive multi-million dollar research programmes, and BlueScope Steel's local knowledge of the performance demands for steel building products.
Decades of Proven Performance
Launched in 1976, after intensive research and development, ZINCALUME® steel continues to set the standards for corrosion resistance and long life. It's been proven to stand the test of time because it was designed to withstand the rigours of Australia's unique climatic conditions. In fact, for two decades BlueScope Steel has monitored the product's performance across a wide range of Australian climatic conditions using exposure test sites and infield inspections.
A Significantly Longer Lifespan
ZINCALUME® steel was developed after extensive research into improving the traditional performance of galvanised steel. By blending aluminium with zinc in an alloy coating, Bethlehem Steel researchers discovered a way to greatly enhance corrosion resistance. BlueScope Lysaght researchers enhanced the production process. As a result, our extensive testing programme indicates that ZINCALUME® steel's lifespan is up to four times that of ordinary galvanised steel.
Cost Effective
Lightweight, versatile and durable, ZINCALUME® steel is the smart building choice, delivering long-lasting performance at a cost-competitive price. That's why, for two decades leading architects, engineers and manufacturers have put ZINCALUME® steel to work on everything from industrial buildings, steel framing and home appliances through to garage doors, guttering and roofing.
