Flat sheets

IBR World (Pty) Ltd. supplies steel flat sheets in both Galvanized and Chromadek®. Galvanizing is a zinc coating applied to sheet of steel through a process called “continuous hot-dip” in which a steel sheet passes through a bath of molten zinc. The liquid zinc bonds to the iron in the steel, forming a protective layer on both sides of a sheet.
