Galvanized flat bar CYNK-MAL 25 x 3 mm in a coil of approximately 50 kg (±3%) offers a continuous strip of hot-dip galvanized steel with a nominal cross section of 25 mm width and 3 mm thickness and a total length of about 82 m. This flat bar combines surface corrosion protection with the mechanical stiffness of a thin steel strip, making it suitable for edge protection, temporary formwork ties, light structural bracing and general repair or fabrication tasks where a long, uniform galvanized profile is required.
Advantages
The hot-dip galvanized finish provides uniform corrosion resistance across the strip surface, reducing the need for additional coatings for many indoor and outdoor applications. Supplied as a compact coil of roughly 50 kg, the product is convenient to store and transport while offering a long continuous length that minimizes joints and overlaps. The 25 x 3 mm cross section balances rigidity and bendability, allowing for moderate shaping on site without excessive tooling.
Suitable for
- Temporary and permanent formwork edge protection and ties
- Light metal fabrication and brackets
- Repair work on fences, gates and sheet-metal components
- General DIY projects requiring a thin galvanized strip
- Construction tasks where corrosion resistance and straightness are needed
Key specifications

- Form: coiled flat bar for continuous feed
How to use
Cut the coil to the required lengths with appropriate metal shears or a cutoff saw while securing the strip to prevent recoil. For bending or shaping, use a bench vise, bending brake or hand tools suitable for 3 mm steel; pre-mark bend lines for accurate results. When fastening, use appropriate fasteners or welds compatible with galvanized steel, and, if welding, follow standard procedures to protect personnel from zinc fume and to repair the galvanizing in welded areas if corrosion resistance must be restored.
Usage recommendations
Store the coil in a dry, ventilated area to avoid prolonged wet storage which can accelerate white rust on the galvanized surface. For outdoor exposure in aggressive environments, consider additional protective measures at cut edges and welded joints, such as zinc-rich paint or cold-galvanizing compounds. Handle coils with gloves to avoid cuts from sharp edges and to protect the finish.
