U.S. Steel, in collaboration with DuPont, announced on Tuesday a new product, COASTALUME, engineered specifically for coastal environments.
The product is a combination of U.S. Steel’s AZ60 Galvalume and DuPont’s Tedlar PVF film, the Pittsburgh-based steelmaker said. The company noted that the combination provides enhanced protection against UV rays, excessive heat, saltwater, and hurricane-force winds.
“We combined our steel with the proven performance and durability of DuPont Tedlar PVF film, and fully address the unique needs of coastal construction, which must withstand the toll that wind and saltwater inflict over time,” Robert Kopf, VP of sales and marketing at U.S. Steel, said in a statement.
According to the product fact sheet, COASTALUME “covers roofing and siding products installed up to 300 feet from breaking surf, large bays, marshes, and other coastlines.”
U.S. Steel said the exclusive warranty also covers up to 50 years for finish warranty and 25 years for substrate.
The company said COASTALUME is being unveiled this week at the 2023 METALCON Industry Trade Show in Las Vegas.
