| STRENGTH - Cold-forming
and quenching process creates greater yield and tensile strength than competitive
products. APPEARANCE - Tubing is
shinier and smoother than any competitive product on the market.
CORROSION RESISTANCE - Tubing
exhibits greater corrosion resistance than other tubing because the triple coat process
passivates the zinc to slow down the white rust growth process, and our clear topcoat then "seals in" the protection. Our triple coat process resists rust longer than any
pre-galvanized (G-60, G-90, or G-115) or zinc electroplated tubing.
FABRICATING - Tubing is easily
bent, swaged, and wall-to-wall flattened without deformation of our triple coat
protection. In addition, our tubing will not flake or chip when fabricated like
competitive products or hot dipped products.
PAINTING - Tubing is easily painted or
powder coated. Our clear topcoat not only reduces the general corrosion rate of the zinc
but also acts as a primer for painting or powder coating. Extensive pre-cleaning is
unnecessary, and excellent adhesion is achieved, even at high baking temperatures.
WELDING - Tubing is easily welded in
the same manner as welding bare steel. Our tubing contains the lowest lead content
achievable (99.99% pure zinc); so lead oxide fumes generated during welding are kept to an
absolute minimum. |
