Incorporates Warm Roll-Forming of prepainted Sheet Steel with clear coated edges.

In a recent study, U.S. Steel has demonstrated that warm roll-forming not only improves the formability of the paint film, but also improves the formability of the underlying metal coating.

Warm Roll Forming

It is believed that tension-bend cracking on the prepainted GALVALUME sheet could be virtually eliminated by using flexible paint systems and warm roll-forming practices.

The clear coating of panel edges protects the open edge, while the galvanic reaction is taking place, for a more permanent protection.
