Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Tata BlueScope Steel, an equal joint venture between Tata Steel and BlueScope Steel, unveiled Improved ZINCALUME® steel today at a Launch Seminar in Chennai. The seminars will be repeated at Mumbai and Delhi as well.
A leading supplier of Zinc-Aluminium alloy coated steel in India; the company has taken a step forward by providing advanced metallic coated steel for the building and construction industry. The company also offers pre-painted COLORBOND® steel for roofing and wall cladding applications.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Mr Chetan Tolia, Managing Director, Tata BlueScope Steel said, "Tata BlueScope Steel has been consistently looking at opportunities to add value to customers. Zinc and Aluminium alloy coated steel is preferred over Zinc coated (Galvanised) steel, due to its superior resistance to corrosion. Improved ZINCALUME® steel also has enhanced aesthetics."
Other benefits include higher durability, excellent design flexibility, better thermal efficiency and environment-friendly credentials, making it a widely accepted coated steel product for the construction industry. ZINCALUME® steel with AZ150 coating, on an average lasts up to four times longer than Galvanised steel Z275, of equivalent coating thickness, in similar environment conditions.
Present at the occasion Mr. Darren Pye, Chief Marketing and Business Development, Tata BlueScope Steel said, "Aesthetics is a major issue in the construction industry and the new coating technology will help in providing a long lasting, uniform physical appearance and sustained good looks across the application."
Improved ZINCALUME® steel has better resistance to early corrosion, and retains its uniform metallic look for longer time. It exhibits superior long term surface appearance when compared with other metallic coated steel products. Improved ZINCALUME® steel also helps in reduction in energy cost due to better reflectivity over a longer period.
Tata BlueScope Steel currently imports the coated steel products from BlueScope Steel, Australasia. The Coated Steel manufacturing plant of the company is currently under construction at Jamshedpur. This facility has metal coating line with 250,000 tonnes per annum capacity and a paint line with 150000 tonnes per annum capacity.
