ZinaCore – Protect what matters: your budget, surroundings, and home
The best value aluminium and zinc coated steel substrate, ideal for most sites
ZinaCore is perfect for moderate climatic conditions. It features a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy coating over a steel substrate, with a waterborne acrylic or polyester top coat that uses the latest infrared reflective pigments. This combination, baked on a polyester primer, creates an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
If your site matches these climatic conditions and you want roofing and cladding that will retain its good looks and protect for many years at an affordable price, ZinaCore could be the right ColorCote product for your project. It’s steel made better.
Raise your profile, not your costs
Few roofing and cladding products offer the design flexibility, long-lasting durability, and cost-effectiveness of ZinaCore. Being a fraction of the weight of concrete, it’s not only safer in the event of an earthquake, but also reduces labour, infrastructure, and material costs of installation. That’s steel made better.
Industrial strength
For environments where corrosive chemicals may be present, ZinaCore ‘PLUS’ paint system offers added protection. This chemically resistant thermosetting waterborne acrylic is ideal for industrial environments such as sites near airports, dairy factories, petrol stations, and areas with geothermal activity.
Please note, PLUS paint is available in a restricted colour range and may have longer lead times. Consult with your ColorCote distributor or contact us directly for more information
