What is the strength of cold-formed profiles?

Cold-formed profiles are characterized by high strength, which is one of their key advantages. Here is the most important information on the strength of cold-formed profiles:

• High bending, tensile and compressive strength
• High structural rigidity with relatively low weight
• Resistance to mechanical and chemical damage

The strength of cold-formed profiles can vary depending on their dimensions and shape. For example, the bending strength for different hollow sections can be:

• 50x50x5 mm profile: approximately 45 kN
• Profile 80x80x6 mm: about 72 kN
• Profile 100x100x8 mm: approximately 117 kN
• Profile 120x120x10 mm: approximately 180 kN
