Properties

FolaSal® combines the strength and ductility of the substrate metals with the corrosion protection and decorative properties of the coatings. In profiling machines, the coated sheet can be further processed into trapezoidal or cassette profiles for roof and wall coverings.

Customer advantages

  • Profiling capability
  • Good resistance to weather and corrosion

    FolaSal® StronSal®

    FolaSal® is available with either hot-dip galvanized or StronSal® coated substrate material. StronSal®, the zinc-magnesium coating from Salzgitter Flachstahl, allows equivalent to better corrosion protection in coatings that are thinner than those in standard zinc coatings.
    Both FolaSal® and FolaSal® StronSal® have building authority approval as a KII or KIII system, respectively, pursuant to DIN 55929-8.
    Warranties with terms up to 15 years are available by concluding the appropriate contract.

    Customer Advantages

    • Good resistance to weather and corrosion with reduced thickness
    • Good profiling capability

      FolaSal® egis®

      FolaSal®egis® consists of a zinc layer with a coating weight of 275 g/m² and two layers of paint, i.e. a primer and a top coat, and has been specially developed for use in aggressive environments. The coating can be used in environments with high (C4) or very high corrosion exposure (C5). In a C4 atmosphere, the achievable protection period is 15 to 25 years (protection period H=high), and in a C5 atmosphere it is 7 to 15 years (protection period M=medium).


      Possible areas of application: 

      • Industrial areas with high humidity and increased sulfur dioxide pollution,
      • Coastal areas with medium or high salt pollution, but also
      • Areas inside buildings with increased corrosion due to constant condensation or corresponding contamination
      • Roof elements under solar or photovoltaic systems

      Product advantages:

      • Excellent corrosion resistance with long-lasting protection
      • Very good UV stability.
      • Scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant surface 
         

      Special effect paints

      Special effect paints allow various surface structures (e.g., wrinkle paint) or special color effects (e.g., pearlescent look)

      Customer advantages

      • Special appearance, decorative aspect
      • Good resistance to weather and corrosion
      • Profiling capability

      Roofing film

      Roofing film is used for fixtures and joining pieces for roofs, e.g., for cover plates and eaves flashing. The film is 600 to 800 µm thick.

      Customer advantages

      • Extreme robustness
      • Very good resistance to weather and corrosion
      • Can be fused to PVC roof sheeting
