<p><span class="xn-location">PITTSBURGH</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Oct. 12</span> /CNW/ -- <span class="xn-location">United States</span> Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) is pleased to announce the addition of a new high-quality, value-added product to our lineup of construction steels that supports "green" building design and practices, positively impacting these projects' environmental sustainability.  ACRYLUME CF(TM) Coated Sheet, a new coated flat-rolled steel that has a chromium-free clear polymer coating, continues to provide all of the quality and performance attributes inherent in the new product's predecessor, ACRYLUME® Coated Sheet.</p>
<p/>
<p>U. S. Steel's new ACRYLUME CF(TM) offers the environmentally conscious metal building construction industry the nation's first chromium-free acrylic coating on GALVALUME® Coated Sheet, which exceeds anticipated environmental regulations in the <span class="xn-location">United States</span>.  ACRYLUME CF(TM) also meets numerous European Union environmental directives, including Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH).</p>
<p/>
<p>The original ACRYLUME®, which meets all current environmental guidelines in the <span class="xn-location">United States</span>, will continue to be available to customers for commonly used applications such as metal roofing and siding.</p>
<p/>
<p>The new ACRYLUME CF(TM) provides users with exactly the same benefits as traditional ACRYLUME®.  ACRYLUME® set the standard for enhancing the outstanding corrosion protection of GALVALUME® Coated Sheet by sealing it in a tough, clear polymer coating.  ACRYLUME® and ACRYLUME CF(TM) also minimize staining and discoloration issues during storage, handling and installation, and both products can be used in the same end-use applications, side-by-side if needed.  In addition, neither product requires the application of lubricants prior to roll forming, thus they can be delivered to a job site free from slippery substances, providing customers with increased safety during handling and installation.</p>
