Zintec Steel Sheet
Tough against corrosion
What do you get when you cross mild steel with zinc? A durable, versatile metal that fares brilliantly in storage and transit. This is Zintec steel sheet and it’s one of the most popular metals for use in car bodies, electronics, white goods and a whole lot more. It’s just the job if you don’t quite need the weather-proof properties of galvanised steel, but you do need a steel sheet metal that won’t rust easily. Thanks to a clever electromagnetic process, the steel is covered in a thin layer of zinc, which makes it extra strong. It’s also smooth, making it an excellent base for enamelling and powder-coating.
Thicknesses: 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm thick sheet.
Zintec steel (sometimes known as zinc steel) is easy to recognise thanks to its distinctive matt, bluish-hued finish. Unlike galvanised steel sheet, this metal doesn’t tend to be used for outdoor projects, but it is still incredibly tough when it comes to avoiding corrosion. Far less likely to oxidise (and subsequently rust) in transit and while it’s waiting to be used, Zintec is a great option when you know your metal will spend time being stored or transported. Just like our other metal products, our Zintec Steel Sheet comes in an array of sizes and thicknesses. Even better, our free cutting service means you get to tell us exactly how much you need, with no minimum order.
How it’s made: Cold reduced (or cold-rolled) steel is electrolytically cleaned and pickled to make sure the surface is free of any residue or oxidisation. It is then electromagnetically plated with the thin layer of Zintec, which gives it its name and its resistance to corrosion.
Good for: Car body parts, white goods, cabinets and other furniture, electronics, doors, air conditioning units, automotive parts, enamelling and powder coating.
Benefits:
- Versatile
- Strong
- Travels well
- Won’t corrode in storage

Additional Information
What is Plastisol?
Plastisol is a type of PVC paint coating that dries to form a tough, durable finish. This coating is known for its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and weather damage, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications.How is PVC Plastisol-Coated Steel Made?
First, the steel sheet is bathed in a hot bath of zinc, which toughens it against moisture and the elements. This galvanising process is what produces galvanised steel. Next, the 200-micron PVC paint, Plastisol, is applied to the metal’s surface in its liquid form. To finish, the Plastisol outer layer is embossed with a leather-grain pattern. The outer plastic coating combined with the galvanisation produces a material that is equipped to resist the elements and any resulting corrosion.Order PVC Plastisol-Coated Steel from Buy Metal Online

What is aluminium chequered plate?
Safety first... Similar in appearance to steel chequer plate, diamond plate aluminium offers a non-slip surface where you need safety underfoot. More lightweight than steel tread plate, it can be easily secured to existing flooring, adding a layer of texture that’s got plenty of grip and reducing the risk of slipping. The distinctive 5-bar pattern on diamond plate makes it sought after not just for performance, but for style, too: our aluminium treadplate is often used in interior design and car modification, as well as in industry. It comes in three thicknesses and a wide choice of sizes. What’s more, our free cutting service means we can trim your diamond plate sheets down to precisely the amount you need, with no minimum order. If you’re looking for a sturdier, stand-alone diamond plate sheet, see our steel chequer plate. Good for: Van flooring, kick-plates, industrial-style decor, vehicle modification, stairways, walkways, lifts, factory floors, ramps, freezers, trench covers, walls and more. How it’s made: At the factory, aluminium is passed through two giant rollers, one which is smooth and one which is marked with a raised pattern, the well-known diamond or 5-bar, which gives this material its name. This process means that the metal sheets are embossed with diamonds or bars on one side and smooth and flat on the other, producing diamond plate aluminium that’s ready to be walked on. Benefits:- Easy to fit
- Non-slip
- Durable
- Versatile
