Fabrication Considerations

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

For further information, see the
joining section of the fabrication considerations for Hot-Dip Galvanized Sheet.

Painting
U. S. Steel ACRYZINC® Sheet is not 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. It is important to either conduct preliminary tests to check the compatibility of a given primer or obtain information from the paint supplier regarding compatibility.
