Corten is a proprietary weathering steel similar to those listed in EN10025-5. The anti-corrosive properties are better than those found in other structural steels.

Alloying elements form a tight oxide layer or patina that constantly regenerates under the effects of the weather protecting the steel, slowing down the corrosion process. This takes about 18 - 36 months.

COR-TEN® can be painted in the same manner as normal structural steels and a coat of paint can last up to twice as long. Indeed it is always recommended to paint COR-TEN® when it is continuously exposed to water.

The tight rust layer or patina that forms is aesthetically pleasing and has been used famously in large sculptures such as the Chicago Picasso and Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North.

At Irvon we stock a range of COR-TEN® at very competitive rates. It is stocked in both coil form and large area plates. Should we not have your exact requirement in stock we are able to source it quickly from producers in Europe.
