Highlighted products

Among other products ArcelorMittal highlighted Optigal™. This new coating increases the performance and anti-corrosion characteristics of coated steels for construction. Optigal uses half as much zinc as is normally required, and is increasingly applied as substrate in the coated steels produced by ArcelorMittal in Europe.

Magnelis^® (zinc-aluminium-magnesium) is another product which demonstrates an exceptional surface protection and offers self-healing on cut edges against corrosion. Magnelis is developing fast, meeting the needs of many industries, the solar industry in particular.

The Nature collection of organic coated steel, free of hexavalent chromium and heavy metals, is enriched by new ranges: Granite^® Impression and Granite^® Silky Mat, which offer stunning textures and exciting finishes for elegant facades.
