UGINOX Patina K44 is a bistabilized ferritic stainless steel with an electro-tinned coating on both sides. This ferritic stainless steel is K44 and belongs to the KARA range: it contains 18% chromium and molybdenum and is stabilised with titanium and niobium. UGINOX Patina K44 weathers over time, acquiring a matt finish through natural patination giving a traditional rustic final appearance. UGINOX Patina K44 has the benefit of a high corrosion resistance, suitable for use in aggressive atmospheres.

Think Stabilised Stainless Steel !

  • Chromium is a key chemical compound, which basically gives stainless steel its corrosion resistance property. Indeed a chromiumoxide is created on the material surface in contact with air and water. This layer repairs itself and therefore protects the surface.
  • Molybdenum reinforces its corrosion resistance.

Key strengths

  • Workable at low temperatures, including in mountainous regions.
  • Ease of soldering.
  • Low thermal expansion coefficient: enables the use of long sheet lengths in single sections.
  • High corrosion resistance, suitable for use in aggressiveatmospheres.
  • Nickel-free grade offering price stability over time.
  • 100% recyclable.

Applications

  • Standing seam roofing.
  • Self supporting roofing.
  • Cleated seam roofing.
  • Suitable for cold
  • Cold roof or warm roofs.
  • Gutters.
  • Roofing accessories.
