										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Zintek® zinc, beauty, long life and authenticity.</h4>
<p>Zinc has been used in architectural applications since the 17th century. Today, zinc remains the most widely used, non-ferrous roofing and cladding material in Europe. Locally, as sheet metal cladding and roofing systems continue to gain popularity, zinc is fast becoming a favourite among architects, builders and homeowners.</p>
<p>In 2012, Architectural Metals Australia (AMA) forged an official relationship with Zintek®; becoming their Australia and New Zealand distribution partner. Zintek® is a market leader in Italy, specialising in boutique zinc manufacturing. It was Zintek&#8217;s® focus on environmental practices, innovation, and long lasting, aesthetically pleasing materials that attracted AMA&#8217;s leadership team.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2376" src="http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ama_zintek_zinc.jpg" alt="ama_zintek_zinc" width="500" height="400" srcset="http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/development/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ama_zintek_zinc.jpg 500w, http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/development/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ama_zintek_zinc-300x240.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>As the first material in AMA&#8217;s collection, Zintek® set a quality and aesthetic precedent for future material selection. Considered an artisan product, Zintek® is capable of offering each project application its own unique aesthetic. Depending on material direction, and cladding profile, Zintek® will look different from one installation to another. At first, Zintek® presents a gloss surface. Over time, due to the material&#8217;s oxidisation process, it&#8217;s surface will become more matte.</p>
<h4>Zintek® Specs</h4>
<p>Coil width: 1100 mm<br />
Thickness: 0.80 mm<br />
Base material hardness: HV45<br />
Composition: Zinc, titanium, copper<br />
Environmental durability: Rural 100 years, urban industrial 60 years, industrial 40 years, marine 40 to 60 years</p>
<p>Zintek&#8217;s® unique etched appearance and mild grey colour, offers an unexpected aesthetic. In Europe Zintek&#8217;s® subtle, yet visually stimulating surface has enjoyed success in historic towns where new architectural forms must compliment traditional buildings. In Australia, Zintek&#8217;s® soft appearance has enjoyed successful applications on modern additions to heritage homes.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2399" src="http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/CobdenStreet_5_small.jpg" alt="Zintek zinc Cobden House" width="5472" height="3648" srcset="http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/development/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/CobdenStreet_5_small.jpg 5472w, http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/development/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/CobdenStreet_5_small-300x200.jpg 300w, http://architecturalmetalsaustralia.com.au/development/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/CobdenStreet_5_small-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px" /></p>
<p>In addition to good looks, Zintek&#8217;s® chemical properties make it a flexible and durable specification option. As an alloy of zinc, Zintek® has a minimum fineness of 98.78 and a maximum of 99.86. Copper and titanium appear in Zintek® zinc. Copper increases tensile strength and titanium improves resistance. Together, they provide improved resistance to atmospheric corrosion and increase material workability &#8211; making Zintek® ideal for cladding and roofing manufacturing. In Australia, Zintek® has been specified in standing seam and interlocking systems, as well as some custom profile applications. Its flexibility and properties make Zintek® suitable for all sheet metal cladding and roofing systems.</p>
