The depth of profile and the pitch of colour
coated sheets play an important role in their
capability to drain water. Profiles with large
depths coupled with wider pitch areas are recommended
to provide optimum water drainage gutters, especially
to suit Indian conditions.
All the profiles available at Mamata Agency
are chosen keeping in mind the available width
of coils in India and optimally use them without
sacrificing any of the design factors. This
means that the profiles are not burdened with
wastages of coil width and slitting costs, making
them the MOST COST EFFECTIVE choice from every
angle.
Mamata Agency is the authorized distributor
of two renowned brands available in India.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION |
|
| |
Definition
GALUME is the trade name for a sheet steel product with a highly corrosion resistant coating containing nominally 55% aluminium and 43% zinc, by weight; the balance, primarily silicon, is used to effect excellent adhesion to the steel substrate. This metallic coating, which is applied using a continuous hot-dip coating process, combines the galvanic corrosion protection of zinc with the barrier protection of aluminium.
Product Introduction GALUME is the world's fastest-growing metallic coating. This position has been earned by marrying the strength, formability and recyclibility of steel with the proven long-term anti-corrosion performance of the Al-Si-Zn coating. This marriage results in an economical product with the superior eco-friendliness attributes of durability, recyclibility, energy-efficiency and scarce-resource utilization.
GALUME also displays excellent heat reflection properties, similar to aluminized steels, and is more resistant to higher temperatures than hot-dip galvanized steel. Its will maintain its bright appearance and reflectivity in prolonged exposures at temperatures of 320° C and is not heavily oxidized by continuous exposure to temperatures of up to 650° C. these high temperature oxidation and heat resistance attributes of GALUME enable the potential applications to be expanded beyond the traditional metal building market. In particular, automotive exhaust systems, furnace and oven hardware, and white goods that require heat resistance [ovens, cookers, etc.] also used for Roofing and cliding, pre-painted sheets, air conditioners, refrigerators and ductings etc. are potential applications of GALUME.
Basic difference in production of Galume 55% AlSi-Zn as against Galvanized
The most signiifacnt processing difference is the composition of the coating bath; the bath for 55% AlSi-Zn coated sheet production is comprised of a 55% AlSi-Zn coated alloy rather than near pure zinc for galvanized sheet. The 55% AlSi-Zn coated bath is operated at a higher temperature (660° C or 1120° F) than the zinc bath used for galvanizing which is operated at about 450° C (840° F). the higher temperature for 55% AlSi-Zn coated is required because of the higher melting point of the 55% AlSi-Zn coating alloy. The melting point of the 55% AlSi-Zn alloy is about 580°C (1180°F) while that of the zinc coating is about 417°C (780°F). because of the higher bath temperature and the increased corrosiveness of the aluminium rich alloy, the 55% AlSi-Zn coated pot is lined with a special refractory and is induction fired. The general galvanizing principle of the strip heating the bath metal does not apply to 55% AlSi-Zn coated, where the strip entering the bath considerably cooler than the bath (depending on base quality). Much of the bath's heat is derived from the operation of the inductors.
Prior to the strip entering the coated bath, the hydrogen content of the protective atmosphere is increased for 55% AlSi-Zn coated compared to galvanized to provide maximum protection for the strip and to minimize oxidation of the bath surface.
After coating, in the ‘upleg' as the strip raises in the cooling tower, air is blown onto the surface to cool the coating at a specified rate for generating the required coating microstructure for optimum corrosion resistance, also fast cooling arrangement, resin coater, Induction Furnace for resin coater.

Roof Pitch |
|
| |
After
extensive research, study and tests, the bureau of Indian
Standards has recommended roof pitch of 18.3 degrees
as best suited and optimal for all Indian conditions.
We subscribe to standardization process. However,
designers are free to choose slope of their choice keeping
factors like heat dissipation, operational requirements,
energy conservation and environmental
factors in mind. Profile is suitable for adaptation
to slope as designed.
