COATING FINISH

Product Type Description
Galvanised products (Z) Normal spangle (N) This finish is the result of the natural solidification of the zinc coating. Depending on the conditions under which galvanising occurs, spangle may not be obtained or zinc crystals of a different size and spangle may be obtained. This does not affect the quality of the coating. If you want a pronounced spangle, this must be explicitly stated when requesting the quote and placing the order.
Minimum spangle (M) This finish is obtained by adequately controlling the solidification process. The spangle on the surface will be reduced, sometimes invisible to the naked eye. You can request this finish if normal spangle (N) does not meet the surface appearance requirements.
Spangle-Free (SF) We are able to supply spangle-free, which is not subject to any standards
Products coated with zinc-aluminium (ZA) The finish of this coating has a metallic sheen which is the result of the free growth of zinc-aluminium crystals during normal solidification. Crystals of different sizes and with different spangles may appear, depending on the manufacturing conditions. This does not affect the clarity of the coating.
Products coated with aluminium-zinc (AZ) alloy The products must be supplied with normal spangle. Normal spangle is a surface finish, it has a metallic sheen which is the result of the free growth of aluminium-zinc crystals during normal solidification.


 SURFACE QUALITY

Quality Description
Normal finish (A): Imperfections such as a grainy surface, marks, grooves, pitting, variations in the surface appearance, dark spots, scratch marks and small passivation defects are allowed. Defects may appear due to tension gradient or local excess thickness. Ribbing may also appear on the coils and yield lines.
Improved finish (B): The B surface quality is obtained through skin passing. For this surface finish, small imperfections such as defects due to tension gradient, skin-pass marks, light scratches, surface structure defects, excess thickness and small passivation defects may be allowed. NOTE: for special applications, subject to an agreement when requesting the quote and placing the order, cold-dipped aluminium-silicon coated products (AS) can be supplied with a bright appearance. The surface is type "B" in this case.
Superior quality (C ): The C surface quality is obtained through skin passing. The controlled surface should make it possible to apply a high-quality paint finish. The other surface must have the surface properties of a B quality finish at a minimum.
Roughness When requesting the quote and placing the order, a surface roughness range (Ra values) must be agreed and verified. This is not applicable to the skin-pass condition (surface quality A).
 

 

PROTECTIVE SURFACE TREATMENT

Finish Description
Chemical passivation (C) Chemical passivation protects the surface against humidity and reduces the risk of corrosion products forming during storage and transportation. The local variations in colour resulting from this treatment are permitted and do not affect the quality.
Oiled (O) This treatment also reduces the risk of corrosion products forming. It should be possible to remove the layer of oil with suitable degreasing solvents which do not have an adverse effect on the coating.
Chemical passivation and oiled (CO) An agreement can be signed to combine these surface treatments if it is necessary to increase the protection against the risk of corrosion products forming.
Phosphated (P) This treatment improves the adhesion and protective effect of the coating applied by the process manager. It also reduces the risk of corrosion during transportation and storage.
Phosphated and oiled (PO) The combination of phosphating and oiling (PO) can improve formability
Sealed (S) Subject to an agreement, the application of a transparent organic film coating, on one or both sides, of approximately 1 g/m². This treatment offers additional protection against corrosion, depending on the type, and increased protection against fingerprint marks. It can improve sliding properties during forming processes and can be used as a primer for a subsequent painting process. The S-type coating must be agreed when requesting the quote and placing the order.
Untreated (U)  

If the customer does not require the surfaces to be oiled and/or chemically passivated, this must be clearly indicated when requesting the quote and placing the order.
