9Classical galvanised steel corrodes at least 3 times faster than Magnelis®

Magnelis® outperforms whatever

the environment

Mean yearly consumed thickness in different environments in microns/year (after 2 years)

The measured weight loss is not dependent of the initial coating thickness of the samples

Magnelis self-healing effect

✓ Samples (2mm) perforated after

galvanization

✓ exposed 4 years in marine

environment (Brest, France)

Pure zinc

Magnelis®

Thanks to the self healing effect,cut edges are re-protected by the Magnelis® coating

➢ 1st step: cut edges of

galvanised material rust

➢ 2nd step: cut edges of

Magnelis® coated steel are

reprotected
