Thyssenkrupp: Corrosion protection for steel substructures of solar plants

With ZM Ecoprotect Solar, thyssenkrupp Steel presents an innovative corrosion protection solution for robust steel substructures of solar installations. The high-quality zinc-magnesium coating offers durable corrosion protection for a guaranteed service life of PV mounting systems. The metal-coated structural steels for solar applications can be optimally processed into profiles and are ideal for use in various corrosive atmospheres. With ZM Ecoprotect Solar, thyssenkrupp Steel is launching a further development of the proven zinc-magnesium coating ZM Ecoprotect, which has been established in the construction industry for decades. In addition, ZM Ecoprotect Solar is also available as CO2-reduced Bluemint Steel, Thyssenkrupp Steel's sustainable steel for a positive contribution to environmental and climate protection. The use of Bluemint Steel in PV mounting systems helps reduce the solar industry's environmental footprint and create a sustainable future.

"We are very pleased to be represented for the first time at Intersolar Europe in Munich and to present our high-quality zinc-magnesium coated steels for PV mounting systems," says Arne Schreiber, Product Manager Industry at thyssenkrupp Steel. "We know the high demands of our customers in terms of service life and workmanship in the construction of solar pedestals and offer a corresponding portfolio of grades with high-quality ZM coating - including a 25-year guarantee against rust-through. Our ZM Ecoprotect solar steels not only provide effective corrosion protection, but also help reduce the carbon footprint. We invite all visitors to visit our booth, we look forward to the dialogue." The thyssenkrupp Steel booth can be found at Intersolar Europe in hall A6, booth 614.
