Colors GreenCoat® Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Roofs have to deal with Mother Nature´s every mood. A steel roof is a natural choice standing strong against the toughest weather requirements.
Create expressive steel façades using standing seam systems, profiles, sandwich panels or cassettes/lamellas.
Rainwater systems contribute to the look of the overall building. Steel rainwater systems are a perfect match for all types of roofs.
Most GreenCoat® products feature a bio-based coating which uses a substantial portion of Swedish rapeseed oil instead of traditional fossil fuel oils.
This unique, patented solution from SSAB reduces the environmental footprint significantly – and it makes the GreenCoat® color coated steel product portfolio the market’s greenest offer for roofs and façades.
SSAB is a member of the joint venture HYBRIT project, which aims to revolutionize the steel industry with fossil-free steel by 2026.
The result will be unique: the world’s first fossil-free steel making technology, with virtually no carbon footprint. The by-product from steel making process would be water, not carbon dioxide.
Today, the lifecycle perspective of products has become more and more important. As a result, documents need to give information addressing the lifecycle phases, product contents as well as the production and how to best recycle or re-use materials.
The GreenCoat® EPD is available to give you details about how we produce GreenCoat® color coated steel and care for the product lifecycle.
Long product life plays an important role when specifying building materials. The new UV (Ruv5) and RC corrosion (RC5+) classes from the new standard EN10169:2022 ensure that building products have an extremely long product life, which has already been confirmed by SSAB’s GreenCoat® guarantees. You will find the Ruv and RC classes in the technical datasheet of our GreenCoat® products.
GreenCoat PLX products from SSAB were developed together with tinsmiths and have become “The Roofer’s Choice”. They are highly formable, can be installed year-round, and offer a 50-year technical guarantee. Carl Cross, from Zinc and Copper Roofing Ltd (UK), has installed GreenCoat PLX on a roof and shares his thoughts with us.
