Why galvanized magnesium alloy steel is the optimal choice for coastal areas

Constructing structures along the coastline presents significant challenges, particularly when it comes to resisting corrosion from high humidity and sea salt. In this context, Tay Nam Steel’s Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel stands out for its superior protective qualities, making it the ideal choice for construction projects in harsh coastal environments.

What is Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel?

Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel is a high-grade coated steel, consisting of components like 93% zinc, 5% aluminum, 2% magnesium (NOTE: This percentage information is not accurate and will be verified), along with other rare earth elements. Magnesium plays a critical role as a catalyst, helping form a protective Simonkolleite (SKT) layer. This SKT layer not only blocks environmental impacts but also self-repairs to seal any gaps, ensuring long-term durability.

Outstanding Features of Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel

  • Superior Rust Resistance
    The magnesium alloy coating on the steel creates a strong protective film that completely prevents oxidation. This helps the steel maintain its durability and resist rust even in harsh marine environments.
  • 5x More Durable Than Standard Galvanized Steel
    Corrosion-resistant steel outperforms traditional steel by offering significantly greater resistance to wear and surface friction. This results in a longer lifespan for structures and lowers maintenance costs.
  • Self-Sealing at Cut Edges
    One of the standout features of the SKT coating is its self-healing property, which safeguards areas that are not coated. This significantly reduces the risk of edge corrosion.
  • Flexible Application in Specific Environments
    Corrosion-resistant steel is not only suitable for coastal constructions but also an optimal choice for livestock environments, chemical factories, and industrial zones with harsh conditions.
  • Prevents White Mold and Keeps Surfaces Clean and Beautiful
    The Simonkolleite layer continuously regenerates, ensuring that the surface of the steel remains clean and effectively prevents white mold.

Conclusion

Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel is the optimal choice for coastal construction projects thanks to its exceptional corrosion resistance, cost-saving benefits, and increased lifespan. With advanced technology and internationally recognized quality standards, Galvanized Magnesium Alloy Steel offers peace of mind and long-term economic efficiency for all construction projects. Choose Tay Nam Steel Magnesium Steel to ensure optimal protection and long-lasting durability for your building projects.

VIETNAM’S STEEL INDUSTRY MOVES TOWARD NET ZERO 2050: OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE GREEN TRANSITION
Vietnam’s steel industry is undergoing a significant transformation — not only aiming for growth but also for sustainable development. At the 6th Congress of the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), the commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2050 was officially established as a core strategic direction. Tay Nam Steel is not standing aside; the company is taking clear, deliberate steps to join the industry’s green transition journey. Vietnam’s Steel Industry Progresses Step by Step Toward Green Standards At the 6th Congress of the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA) held in May 2025, the report showed that Vietnam’s domestic steel consumption reached over 24.5 million tons in 2024 — the highest level in the past decade. From 2019 to 2024, the total volume of finished steel products surpassed 176 million tons, reflecting the industry’s impressive growth momentum. However, this rapid growth also comes with significant challenges. The steel industry is currently among the largest sources of CO₂ emissions. At the same time, green trade barriers such as CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) from the EU have started taking effect, requiring Vietnamese steel manufacturers to adopt clear emission reduction pathways in order to maintain their export capacity and global integration. (Source: Ministry of Industry and Trade) VSA Sets Net Zero Target and Recommends Concrete Actions At the 6th Congress, VSA set a clear vision: Vietnam’s steel industry will aim for carbon neutrality (Net Zero) by 2050. To achieve this goal, the association recommends that businesses take the following actions: Transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology to reduce dependence on blast furnaces Apply Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies Increase the use of recycled materials and renewable energy Conduct greenhouse gas inventories and product life cycle assessments, following international standards such as ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14067 Implementing these standards not only enhances

STEEL MARKET IN JULY STABILIZES, OPENING A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTORS
(Tay Nam Steel) – On July 3, 2025, according to the latest update from the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), the domestic steel market in July continues to show clear signs of recovery: steel prices remain stable, demand is rising thanks to increased public investment, and domestic supply remains steady.This is considered a favorable time for investors and contractors to proactively secure materials and get ahead of the peak construction season at the end of the year. Steel Output Continues Steady Growth According to data from the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), in the first quarter of 2025, crude steel output reached 5.81 million tons (up 9.1%) and finished steel reached 7.464 million tons (up 5.7%) compared to the same period in 2024. These figures indicate that the steel industry is experiencing a positive recovery, driven by strong domestic demand—especially from public investment projects. (Source: VSA) Three Key Factors Stabilizing the Steel Marke According to statistical data, three main factors are contributing to the gradual stabilization of the steel market: Optimized Production Costs The prices of iron ore and coking coal—two primary input materials—have dropped significantly in recent months, while steel selling prices have only seen a slight increase. This cost balance allows manufacturers to improve their gross profit margins, strengthen supply capabilities, and help stabilize market prices. Protection of the Domestic Market The implementation of anti-dumping duties on imported steel from China is a positive move, creating a level playing field and supporting the sustainable growth of Vietnam’s steel industry. Strong Growth Expected in Q2/2025 With efficient production and favorable input prices, several enterprises in the sector expect to achieve over 20% profit growth in Q2. This continues to reinforce confidence in the recovery and stabilization trend for the second half of the year. Tay Nam Steel – Steadfast with Vietnam’s

TON TAY NAM AFFIRMS ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH ISO 14064-1:2018 AND ISO 14067:2018 CERTIFICATIONS
On June 17, 2025, at the headquarters of Tay Nam Steel Production & Trading Co., Ltd. (Ton Tay Nam), the Certification Ceremony for ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14067:2018 standards was held, certified by BSI Vietnam. This is a significant milestone that marks Ton Tay Nam’s strong commitment to a sustainable development strategy, greenhouse gas emissions control, and the pursuit of minimizing the carbon footprint in industrial production. ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14067:2018 – Two Key Standards in Emissions Management ISO 14064-1:2018 is an international standard that provides guidance on identifying, measuring, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the organizational level. Meanwhile, ISO 14067:2018 focuses on quantifying the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of individual products, thereby helping businesses develop emission reduction strategies tailored to each specific value chain. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Doan Van Khai – Business Development Director of BSI Vietnam, highly praised the efforts made by Ton Tay Nam to achieve these rigorous standards. “I’m truly impressed by Ton Tay Nam’s proactive and serious approach to adopting international standards. The company’s implementation of GHG inventory in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 and its product carbon footprint assessment following ISO 14067:2018—something not all businesses are ready to pursue—demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainable development and environmental data transparency. These are values increasingly prioritized by the global market,” he emphasized.” Sustainable Commitment – A Milestone on the Green Development Journey At the ceremony, Mr. Bui Van Hung – Assistant to the General Director, in charge of system management, emphasized: “We are committed to continuously maintaining and improving our greenhouse gas management system in particular, and environmental management system in general. We will closely monitor emissions data and progressively reduce the carbon footprint of each product.
