Overview
MagnaFlow™ takes our standard zinc/aluminium alloy-coated steel substrate to the next level with the addition of magnesium. This enables the zinc to ‘flow’, which seals the cut edges, preventing exposure to premature corrosion. This makes it ideal for harsher environments and those nearer the coast.
Performance
Good scratch resistance. Testing includes needle scratch test – no marking of paint surface when a needle with a 2kg weight attached is drawn across. ASTM D5178-13.
AS/NZS2728:2013 Table 2.2 and Appendix E. No loss of paint adhesion after a test piece is struck on the reverse side with a specified force, in line with the test methodology described in Appendix E.
AS/NZS2728:2013 section 2.6.1 and Appendix F – No loss of adhesion or paint cracking when bent around a diameter equal to five times the thickness of the sheet.
Suitable for continuous service up to 100ºC. Continuous service at higher temperatures may cause some colour change and damage to the paint film.
Meets the requirements of AS/NZS2728:2013 Sections 2.8 and 2.10.
Meets the requirements of AS/NZS2728:2013 Sections 2.8 and 2.9.
Meets the requirements of AS/NZS2728:2013 Section 2.8 and Table 2.4. Note: Tests are conducted on a flat panel.

Warranty
A steel roof is most susceptible to the elements along cut edges – but not MagnaFlow. The addition of magnesium to the standard zinc/aluminium alloy makes all the difference. As time goes on it allows the protective metal coating to microscopically flow over the cut edge. At this point a sacrificial anti-corrosive reaction takes place and a robust seal is created.
