Z120 Galvanized Coil Product Overview
The Z120 Galvanized Coil features a total zinc coating of 120 g/m² (dual-sided), equivalent to 36 g/m² per three-point test or 90 g/m² single-spot measurement, achieving 8–15 years of corrosion resistance in moderate environments. Produced via continuous hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) at 460–500°C, this cold-rolled carbon steel substrate meets ASTM A653 (G40) and EN 10346 (Z120) standards, delivering 220–380 MPa yield strength and ≥22% elongation for commercial roofing, HVAC ductwork, and appliance manufacturing.
