Ruukki introduces bio-based coating as step towards carbon neutral building products

As a step  on our journey towards carbon neutral building products, Ruukki introduces a bio-based color coating, GreenCoat® Pural BT to its Building Envelopes offering.

We continuously strive to improve every aspect of our steel-based building products, from performance to sustainability, to help customers reduce the carbon footprints of buildings. With GreenCoat® Pural BT, we add an innovative coating to both our standard and LowCarbon ranges to make it easier for customers to choose sustainable building materials without compromising quality.

"Our color coated building products with the new bio-based formula are perfectly suited for facade cladding products and external and internal wall structures. The fact that they will withstand UV radiation and corrosion means that they will maintain their appearance and properties for decades”, says Risto Sipilä, R&D manager, Coatings, Building Envelopes, Products & Services.
