Product performance

Exceptional performance
Designed to withstand even the most demanding and aggressive environments, Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® pre-finished steel provides super durability and corrosion resistance. Whatever your type of building, from warehouses to houses, retail outlets to processing plants, Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® demonstrates proven performance and reliability.

Unrivalled corrosion protection
Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® uses the unique and proven Galvalloy® metallic coating by Tata Steel. Galvalloy® is made with a special mix of 95% Zinc (Zn) and 5% Aluminium (Al) that conforms to EN 10346:2015. The carefully developed proportions of Zinc and Aluminium in Galvalloy® offers a combination of increased barrier and sacrificial protection when compared with conventional Hot Dip Galv (HDG) coatings and provides unrivalled corrosion protection, even at the cut edges.

Galvalloy comparison

Hand samples
Metal hand samples are available for all colours. For a truer representation of colour and effect, please obtain metal hand samples. Only Signature colours are available outside Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas.

Colour consistency
If tonal consistency is critical, all cladding for a single elevation should come from the same production batch. All metallic shades exhibit a degree of directionality.  

Matching components
If accessories made from other materials are to be colour-matched to the roof or wall cladding, the best reference is the actual profiles or panels delivered to site, or material from the same batch.

EN-Construction-Product-Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra | The Confidex® Guarantee

The Confidex® Guarantee

For over 25 years the Confidex® Guarantee from Tata Steel has remained best in class. Confidex® is the product performance guarantee for Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® and Colorcoat Prisma®, when used in an external conventional building envelope application namely roof and wall cladding using single skin, built-up or composite panel construction in industrial and commercial buildings. Confidex® offers the longest and most comprehensive guarantee for pre-finished steel in Europe.

Key features

The Confidex® Guarantee is clear and simple and unlike many other guarantees, offers full remedial action in the unlikely event of coating failure.

Key features include:

  • Extended guarantee cover for up to 40 years on Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® and Colorcoat Prisma®.
  • Factory cut edges covered for the entirety of the guarantee period.
  • No requirement for any inspections or maintenance to validate the guarantee except when Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® is used on a roof that has a Photovoltaic (PV) installation.Backed by years of worldwide product testing.
  • Provides cover for roof pitches down to 1° and no distinction between different roof pitches above that.
  • Offered directly to the building owner and provides a contractual relationship between Tata Steel and the building owner.
  • Is fully transferable should building ownership change.
  • Helps reduce the level of risk for each part of the supply chain.
  • Quick and simple online registration form.
  • Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® can be used under Photovoltaic (PV) frame modules with no reduction in guarantee length ensuring all parts of the roof are covered for the same duration of the Confidex® Guarantee.
  • Colour guarantee included as part of the Confidex® Guarantee for up to 20 years for Colorcoat Prisma® standard colours.

Benefits of Confidex® registration
Usually the building owner, cladding contractor or the cladding system manufacturer can apply for the Confidex® Guarantee. In the unlikely event of a coating failure, we can be contacted directly and independently of the contractual supply chain. In the ‘worst case’ scenario elements of the contractual chain may no longer be in existence making a complaint difficult or even impossible to pursue without the direct link to Tata Steel.

Other warranties
Whilst Confidex® has always been restricted to the weathering performance of the external cladding, we have recognised the growing emergence of demanding internal environment projects, such as energy from waste plants, and may offer a non-Confidex® warranty on a case by case basis for Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® used internally. Application specific warranties are also available for non-standard cladding applications; i.e residential roofs, flashings and sectional roller shutter doors etc

Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra Confidex Duration 2023

Tata Steel also offers Confidex Sustain®, a combined guarantee that covers the durability of the Colorcoat® pre-finished steel product and makes the pre-finished steel building envelope CarbonNeutral - the first in the world. For more information click here

Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® has been tested and proven to provide the highest level of corrosion protection for interiors.

Used either single or double sided Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® is the most suited and recommended pre-finished steel product for demanding and corrosive internal environments.

Excellent test results mean that Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® has been classified as a CPI5 product as per EN 10169:2010.  This is the highest level of classification available for interiors meaning that it is suitable for the most demanding internal environments such as swimming pools and sewage treatment and energy from waste plants.

As shown in the internal environments table below means that Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® provides corrosion protection in ‘very aggressive’ internal environments as well as having chemical resistance properties.

  Defining atmospheric criteria Typical building use Colorcoat® PE15/PE25 Colorcoat® PVDF Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra®
  Corrosiveness Cleaning Humidity        
A1 Non aggressive Routine upkeep Low hygrometry Offices, Schools and Residential buildings (excluding kitchens and bathrooms)
A2 Low aggressive Routine upkeep Medium hygrometry Sports Halls and Supermarkets
A3 Medium aggressive Non-intensive cleaning High hygrometry Industrial buildings and Factories using dry processes
