| Joining |
| For most methods of
joining, U.S. Steel ACRYLUME® steel sheet behaves like
GALVALUME® steel sheet. No changes are needed. Only the use of
adhesive bonding requires that compatibility by evaluated in
advance of using regularly. Similarly, sealants may behave
differently so the use of a specific sealant type needs to be
investigated.

Painting
U.S. Steel ACRYLUME® steel sheet is not generally intended to be painted. The
acrylic coating may degrade the performance of an applied paint
coating. However, depending on the application, some paint primers
may be sufficiently compatible to offer the degree of paint
performance that is required. These special paint primers are being
developed, and currently are undergoing extensive corrosion
testing. It is important to either conduct preliminary tests to
check the compatibility of a specific primer or obtain information
from the paint supplier regarding compatibility.
