1.5mm Mild Steel Sheet

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

Random fact: Collect-a-Can is a South African-based initiative that aims to promote the recycling in South Africa. In 2007, they attempted the first world record for the most steel cans to be recycled in the space of one month. Since then, they have gone on to smash their own record twice. On their most recent attempt, during the month of October 2010, Collect-a-Can recycled an amazing 2,656,284 steel cans, weighing in at almost 83,000kg.

What our customers say about us

How to use it:

Mild steel sheet has many different applications. In fact, you will see or use mild steel products every day in nails, decorations, and even road signs!

• Construction: From structures, pipelines and reinforcement, mild steel excels in the construction industry as it’s difficult to break. It’s also ideal for meeting seismic and wind resistance requirements.
• Machinery & Manufacturing: Its low cost, strength, weldability and flexibility make it easy to shape and is widely used as parts in machinery and automobile manufacturing.
• Architecture: Mild steel is often a preferred choice for precise designs and structural integrity that add strength and style to spaces.
• Sculptures & Outdoor Designs: From decorative features to landscape installations, mild steel is strong and durable yet workable.

Due to the high level of iron and ferrite in mild steel, this type of metal can offer magnetic properties, making it a perfect choice for magnetic boards. You can also make it resistant to corrosion by painting or galvanising the metal.
