Agricultural buildings require steels which can withstand the harsh environments found on farms. Steels used in these applications must resist the effects of the chemicals found in agricultural environments such as ammonia.
Granite® Farm (35 µm paint system on inside face). Farm is not sensitive to chemical agents used in agricultural buildings. Offers improved corrosion resistance for ventilated agricultural buildings which are not insulated.
This range of Granite® organic coated steels is designed for outdoor applications for the building market and comprises a number of specialty products. These products meet all the requirements of this market in terms of original surface finish and end-use properties.
Designed by ArcelorMittal for specific applications, the Granite® products in this range meet rigorous requirements in terms of aesthetic quality, flexibility, surface strength, chemical and UV resistance etc.
Various paints are applied to a metallic substrate as part of a continuous process, which ensures optimum adhesion of the coating and improved corrosion resistance of the steel.
A wide range of colours and different original surface finishes are proposed, depending on the end use envisaged.
The Granite® range is REACH compliant; it does not contain any of the substances like chromates and heavy metals.
Granite® Farm has been specially designed for the internal surfaces of cladding and roofing to be used in ventilated agricultural buildings for cattle, poultry, grain storage etc.
For the inner surface: very good chemical resistance in a rural environment (farming). For the outer surface, please select an organic coated steel suited to the environment.
