TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND REFERENCE STANDARDS
Zintek® is a very high quality zinc-copper-titanium alloy. It fully complies with European standard EN 988 “Specifications for zinc and zinc alloy rolled flat products for building”. It specifies the requirements for zinc-copper-titanium rolled flat products used in buildings supplied in coils, sheets or strips.
According to European norm EN 1179, the alloy is to be produced from 99.995 zinc (Z1 quality) with the addition of appropriate alloying elements.

The alloy components enhance the rolled zinc section properties:
• Titanium increases the resistance to permanent strain over time;
• Copper increases the material tensile strength.
The combination of both reduces the alloy coefficient of expansion.
