MMK to introduce metals market players to the possibilities of the Lysva site
The capacity of the site for the production of cold-rolled steel with a polymer coating is 350 thousand tonnes per year, and for the production of galvanized steel, 390 thousand tonnes.
LMC has a wide range of rolled products with polymer coating, which can be used for inexpensive temporary structures and as the base segment for the production of roofing materials and profiling, as well as for high-quality premium rolled products for premium roofing, interior design, and also for the production of household appliances.
Currently, at the production site of LMC, work continues on the development of sales of SteelArt, a new type of rolled steel with polymer coating. This is a metal roll with a three-layer polymer coating that accurately reproduces the structure and texture of natural materials: stone, wood, bricks and others - and at the same time ensures a lower cost and greater ease of installation. This rolling has a number of undeniable advantages in relation to the base segment of rolled products with coating: it has increased corrosion resistance, significant resistance to mechanical damage, enhanced capabilities in the selection of metal foundations, a high eco-friendly factor; and long-term preservation of its decorative properties (guarantee of 20-25 years). Such products correspond to the highest world standards in terms of quality and environmental performance. The areas of application for SteelArt are wide: from external and internal decoration of buildings and premises, to the production of household appliances and much more.
In addition to rolled products with a polymer coating, LMC also produces galvanised steel for the needs of the automotive and construction industries. This is facilitated by the high adhesion of the coating to further staining, stamping and a high level of anti-corrosion resistance, which could be raised to the level of hot-dip galvanized steel by using special passivators. Currently, "LMC" produces electro-zinced rolled products for PJSC AVTOVAZ. It also plans to increase supplies to the construction industry.
