ZINCALUME® and Animal Confinement

The use of Steelscape’s ZINCALUME product in close proximity to and/or in the actual construction of animal confinement projects is not recommended. The urea and ammonia secreted from animal waste is considered a severe corrosive agent to the aluminum-zinc alloy in the metallic coating and rapid corrosion WILL occur.
The use of ZINCALUME in any animal confinement project and/or end-use application is considered a violation of the Steelscape ZINCALUME warranty. As such, Steelscape will
not honor a ZINCALUME warranty when the product is used in animal confinement projects and/or end-use applications.
For animal confinement projects and/or end-use applications, Steelscape recommends using galvanized (G90 or greater) or stainless steel. Galvanized G90 product has proven to be more than adequate in these applications and will outperform ZINCALUME in all cases related to animal confinement.
