IMPORTANT NOTES
1. All warranties for a product, if any, are subject to eligibility. Terms and conditions apply. Nothing in this document is intended by BlueScope
to extend, modify or otherwise affect any stated product warranty. To find out more, please contact your nearest BlueScope sales office.
2. If it is intended to use P-ZACS® steel in an exterior application within 1km of salt marine locations, severe industrial or abnormally
corrosive environments; in areas not washed by rain, or in applications where it will be wholly or partly buried in the ground, please contact
your nearest BlueScope sales office for specialized advice. For selection of the most appropriate P-ZACS® steel product, please refer to
Technical Bulletins TB1a, TB1b, CTB16, CTB21, CTB22.
3. Customers should use product promptly (within 6 months) to avoid the possibility of storage related corrosion.
4. Finish Coat – the coating applied to the exposed surface of the prepainted coil which is expected to meet the Performance Requirements.
5. The product is supplied with a nominal 35 unit (60°) gloss Finish Coat.
6. Backing Coat – a thin coating applied to the reverse surface of the prepainted coil. This backing coat has been specially designed to
facilitate adhesion to foam cores, for common foam core adhesives. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to test the suitability of their
adhesives to this backer.
7. The minimum internal bend diameters for forming processes to achieve no paint cracking (visible using x 10 magnification) and to avoid
paint adhesion issues are specified by the T-bend flexibility and T-bend adhesion results respectively – where 1T equals the Total Coated
Thickness (TCT) in mm of the material. These results are based on testing at 20-25°C.
8. For most products, the metallurgical ageing process which is inherent in the paint stoving cycle will result in some loss of ductility compared
with unpainted product. However, minimum strength levels designated by relevant standards will still be applicable.
9. Improper storage or use of non-approved roll-forming lubricants may cause brand transfer and paint blushing, and may adversely affect
colour and long term durability. Product in coil or sheet pack form must be kept dry. If the coil or sheet pack becomes wet, it must be
separated and dried (refer AS/NZS2728 Appendix L, and Technical Bulletin TB7). Contact nearest BlueScope sales office on appropriate
rollforming lubricants.
10. Values quoted are for panels exposed in accordance with MS2383. Variations for in-situ performance may occur due complexity of
building design and location.
11. P-ZACS® steel has good resistance to accidental spillage of solvents such as methylated spirits, white sprit, mineral turpentine, toluene,
and trichloroethylene and dilute mineral acids and alkalis. However, all spillages should be immediately removed by water washing and
drying.
