Certificate type
Electrolytically refined zinc alloy roof covering with a 99.995% degree of purity which also includes small yet precise amounts of copper and titanium.
Application
Standing seam and panels for roofing and facades,
- Standard metal thicknesses range from 0.65 mm to 1.0 mm (up to 1.5 mm on request)
- Sheets up to 6 m long
- Coils up to 5 tons tonnes in weight
High-quality surfaces made of the natural material RHEINZINK-titanium zinc are suitable for a wide range of applications and combine all the advantages of an innovative technology. The product lines prePATINA ECO ZINC, CLASSIC, GRANUM and PRISMO set standards in material, processing and functionality and also meet ultimate demands in ecology and sustainability. In addition, our products exceed the requirements of DIN EN 988. RHEINZINK-titanium zinc is a durable material, on which we give a 30-year guarantee and which is 100% recyclable.
Self healing surfaces - The healing powers of nature
The skin in its function as a protective cover has many functions, preventing foreign substances from entering our body is one of the most important. When injuries occur, the natural self-healing powers of the skin become active: small cuts or even scratches heal by themselves within a short time and are no longer visible afterwards.
The natural material titanium zinc has similar properties. RHEINZINK-CLASSIC and RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC are high-quality surfaces, which over time form a blue-grey or slate-grey patina, which, like human skin, functions as a protective layer. This patina is also equipped with a natural self-healing effect and thus guarantees a long, maintenance-free life.
Description
Rheinzink is an alloy based on electrolytic high-grade fine zinc in accordance with EN 1179. Added to this are small amounts of titanium and copper based on EN 988 and under a quality assurance scheme to BS EN 9001. It is available as a traditional sheet or strip (double standing seam, angled standing seam or roll cap).
