Product Characteristics

1 Coated Steel includes the following types of steel: G90 hot dip galvanized, Galvalume®, and Zincalume®. 2 Fracturing or rupturing of substrate will rupture coatings. Heavy gauge and clad steel substrates impose limitations on formability. 3 Corrosion performance is dependent on properly cleaned and pretreated substrate These test results are based on methods believed to be correct and were performed on laboratory prepared panels. This document is not a guarantee of future performance
