In practice, continuously coated ZM steels are often presented as a full alternative to hot-dip galvanizing according to EN ISO 1461. But are these systems really equivalent?

This brochure from the European General Galvanizers Association (EGGA) objectively juxtaposes the two protection methods. Based on five essential insights, it is made clear that precoated ZM steel is not an equivalent alternative to discontinuous hot-dip galvanizing.

The comparison goes into more detail including:

• the protection mechanisms of both systems
• long-term performance
• behavior for damages and cut edges
• applicability in different environments
• durability and longevity

For designers, architects and specifiers, this publication provides valuable guidance for making a correct and informed choice of materials, tailored to the specific requirements of each project.

Discover the five key facts and make an informed choice.
