| Description: High integrity aluminized steel jacketing with hot-dip aluminum-silicon alloy coating on both sides. Special Features: Excellent corrosion resistance, far superior to pure zinc and zinc-aluminum alloy coatings. The hot-dip aluminum-silicon alloy coating protects the steel substrate by forming an inert barrier. Therefore cut edges or areas that may be damaged at a later date may corrode slightly but stabilize in short time, reducing the risk of further corrosion. This process is unlike zinc coatings which protect the steel substrate through sacrificial oxidation. Zinc salts formed during the coating process are constantly washed away, leaving the steel exposed and at risk of corrosive attack. Application: Low cost alternative to stainless steel and aluminum.
