GreenCoat®
GreenCoat® from SSAB Swedish Steel is the brand for innovative and sustainable colour coated steel solutions for your green building. It gives roofs and façades high-quality aesthetics in every shape. GreenCoat® products also offer a long service life, with an up-to 50-year technical guarantee. Most GreenCoat® products feature a bio-based coating which uses a substantial portion of Swedish rapeseed oil instead of traditional fossil fuel oils.
10 good reasons for choosing GreenCoat®
Unique bio-based coating
Absolutely unique combination of steel and bio-based coating which uses a substantial portion of Swedish rapeseed oil.
Sustainability
The market's most sustainable colour coated steel solution featuring a patented technology using Swedish rapeseed oil instead of traditional fossil fuel oils.
Reduced resource consumption
Consumes fewer of the earth's scarce resources. All GreenCoat® products are of high quality and have a long lifespan.
Malleable
The material is easy to work with - even at low temperatures. This allows for year-round installation.
Show more benefits
The most environmentally friendly colour coated steel in the market. With bio-based coating made from Swedish rapeseed oil. Steadily moving towards 100% fossil-free production. Colourfast - and tested against UV radiation. Documented durability - also against corrosion.
Minimal environmental impact
For sustainable building materials, the life cycle perspective is more important than ever. In their "Environmental Product Declaration", GreenCoat® documents why this unique, patented solution from SSAB significantly reduces the environmental impact, making the product the market's greenest product for both roofs and facades.
Steel is one of the few materials that is 100% circular. This means that the material can be efficiently used again and again without loss of properties or performance - and without creating hazardous waste. Steel is easy to recycle and emits less CO2 during production than other general building materials such as aluminium.

HYBRIT - Fossil-free steel
The production of GreenCoat® is undertaken in as sustainable a manner as possible at SSAB in Sweden - and the methods are constantly being developed further. It is an overriding goal that all production of SSAB must be fossil-free by 2045.
HYBRIT a project in which SSAB strives to replace the caking coal traditionally used for ore-based steel production with hydrogen. The goal is to create the world's first fossil-free technology for steel production, virtually without CO2 emissions. As a result, the by-product of the steel production therefore becomes water instead of CO2. With HYBRIT technology, SSAB aims to be the first steel company in the world to bring fossil-free steel to the market already in 2026.
Already today, SSAB's blast furnaces emit 7 % less CO2 than the EU average. As mentioned the goal of the HYBRIT technology initiative is that we eliminate virtually all CO2 emissions from the steel production.
Globally tested and approved
DS Nordic Klikfal's steel profile panels for facades and roofs offer completely new creative and design possibilities in a thoroughly tested, strong and environmentally friendly material.
With GreenCoat®, the steel profiles have a high colour fastness and a finish that is extremely resistant to corrosion and UV radiation as well as scratches and dirt in general.
The product has been tested in several outdoor locations in harsh environments around the world - including in salt water, snow, ice, rain, UV radiation, high humidity, wind and storms.

The story of GreenCoat®
It all started in 2002 - as an idea that has now become very important for the environmental changes faced by the construction industry. SSAB has been manufacturing colour coated steels for the building industry for more than 50 years and was aiming to develop better colour coated steel products by using natural resources with environmental benefits and an even better performance and durability. GreenCoat® became a reality after 10 years of development and outdoor testing, six professional assessments, one PhD thesis and more than ten presentations at conferences and a worldwide patent.
DS Stålprofil is the only GreenCoat®-certified partner in Denmark.
