Protective & Specialty Coatings

Designed to Protect Surfaces and Preserve Appearance

Graffiti can quickly impact the appearance of a building and increase maintenance costs. Steelscape’s Graffiti Resistant Coating System is designed to help protect painted metal surfaces from unwanted markings, allowing graffiti to be removed more easily while maintaining the integrity and appearance of the coated metal.

Applied as a specialized clear protective layer over the finish coat, the Graffiti Resistant Coating System provides an additional barrier that helps reduce the effects of paints, markers, and other common graffiti materials. This protective technology supports easier maintenance and helps keep buildings looking cleaner for longer.

Ideal for high-traffic environments and public-facing structures, the Graffiti Resistant Coating System delivers added protection without compromising the color, finish, or performance of the underlying coating system. Stubborn graffiti can be removed from this coating by applying World’s Best Graffiti Remover System to the surface (sold separately) and simply wiping the graffiti away.

Proven Galvanized Steel. Enhanced for Manufacturing.

TruZinc Plus® combines Steelscape’s proven TruZinc® galvanized steel with a clear, odorless resin coating designed to improve fabrication, handling, storage, and installation performance.

The resin coating creates a smooth surface that acts as a solid lubricant during forming operations, helping reduce or eliminate the need for additional lubricants. By minimizing roll pickup and reducing roll cleaning requirements, TruZinc Plus can help manufacturers improve production efficiency while lowering maintenance costs.

In addition to its manufacturing benefits, TruZinc Plus resists fingerprints, scuff marks, and storage stains, helping maintain a cleaner appearance throughout production, transportation, and installation. The resin coating also simplifies field painting, typically allowing high-quality water-based acrylic coatings to be applied without the need for a primer.

When left unpainted, the clear resin coating naturally and evenly dissipates over approximately 12 to 18 months without powdering, peeling, or cracking, leaving behind the durable galvanized steel surface.

Ideal for metal roofing, wall panels, building accessories, HVAC components, and other roll-formed products, TruZinc Plus delivers the trusted corrosion protection of galvanized steel with enhanced manufacturing and handling performance.

Superior Corrosion Resistance. Enhanced Processing Performance.

ZINCALUME® Plus combines the long-term durability of Steelscape’s ZINCALUME® steel with a clear, odorless resin coating engineered to improve fabrication, handling, storage, and installation performance.

Built on Steelscape’s ZINCALUME substrate, a 55% aluminum-zinc metallic coating known for delivering exceptional corrosion resistance, ZINCALUME Plus adds a smooth resin surface that acts as a solid lubricant during roll forming and fabrication. This can reduce or eliminate the need for additional lubricants, minimize roll pickup, and help improve tool life and manufacturing efficiency.

The resin coating also helps resist fingerprints, scuff marks, and handling-related blemishes while reducing the potential for storage stains during transportation and warehousing. For applications requiring field painting, ZINCALUME Plus can typically be painted with high-quality water-based acrylic coatings without the need for a primer.

When exposed to the elements, the clear resin coating naturally dissipates over approximately 12 to 18 months without powdering, peeling, or cracking, allowing the underlying ZINCALUME steel to continue delivering the corrosion performance it is known for.

Ideal for metal roofing, wall systems, agricultural buildings, industrial facilities, and other exposed building applications, ZINCALUME Plus combines the durability of ZINCALUME steel with enhanced manufacturing, handling, and installation benefits.

Coating Solutions for Marine Environments

Structures featuring coated metal located near coastlines, bays, harbors, and other marine environments face unique challenges. Salt-laden air, moisture, humidity, and airborne contaminants can accelerate corrosion and impact long-term building performance.

Steelscape’s Marine Coating Systems are designed to provide enhanced protection for projects exposed to demanding coastal conditions. By combining high-performance metallic coatings with advanced paint systems, Steelscape helps end-users achieve long-lasting durability without compromising aesthetics.

Whether used on metal roofing, wall panels, architectural accents, or building components, Marine Coating Systems are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining the appearance and integrity of the finished product.

With expertise in metallic coating, paint formulation, and coil coating technology, Steelscape works closely with customers to recommend coating systems that align with project location, exposure conditions, and performance requirements.

Coating Solutions Applied at the Source

Steelscape’s Mill-Applied Coatings provide manufacturers with a range of coating options applied directly on the Metallic Coating Line (MCL) for consistent quality, appearance, and performance. These coatings are designed to support downstream manufacturing processes while helping customers achieve specific performance, aesthetic, and application requirements.

Available options include clear resins, tinted resins, primers, and other thin organic coatings. By applying these coatings during the manufacturing process, customers benefit from precise coating control, improved consistency, and streamlined production.

Mill-applied coatings are commonly used for building products, steel deck, accessories, components, and applications where additional corrosion protection, paint adhesion, surface conditioning, identification, or appearance enhancement is desired. Tinted resin systems can provide a distinctive finished appearance while maintaining the benefits of metallic-coated steel, while primer systems offer an ideal substrate for subsequent finishing operations.
