Coated Sheet 


ACRYLUME® Sheet
U. S. Steel ACRYLUME® steel sheet is a coated sheet product that combines the excellent corrosion resistance of GALVALUME® steel sheet with a clear organic resin surface treatment that is applied over the GALVALUME® coating. The surface treatment is essentially invisible but it provides excellent characteristics to enhance the performance and applicability of GALVALUME® steel sheet.

These enhancements include:

	Good rollformability without the need for oils.
	Excellent transit and field-storage performance without staining.
	Dramatic decrease in fingerprinting or footprinting during installation.
	Long term surface brightness when exposed to the environment.

ACRYLUME® steel sheet is produced directly on the GALVALUME® steel sheet coating line. It is applied by rollcoating a uniform, thin film of a water-base acrylic solution onto both surfaces of the sheet. The sheet is then heated to dry the film, leaving a thin, hard acrylic coating on top of the GALVALUME® coating. The acrylic film contains corrosion inhibitors and provides lubricity for rollforming.

Aside from the special attributes of the acrylic coating, the product behaves very similarly to GALVALUME® product. The corrosion resistance that GALVALUME® offers in terms of time to the appearance of red rust in the atmosphere is unchanged. It behaves like GALVALUME® steel sheet except with respect to the features discussed above.
