Construction Components

Sherardizing is a very robust long-term corrosion resitant coating.  The Sherardizing process has therefore been used extensively throughout the construction industry.  As Sherardizing is a zinc-based thermal diffusion coating, it exhibits unique properties not found with other zinc coatings :

• The coating follows the contours of components exactly and is completley uniform in thickness.

• The coating produced is a zinc-iron alloy and has the highest hardness vlaues of any zinc coating, making it more damage resistant.

• The surface texture of Sherardizing allows for subsequent paint treatments, without the need for etching primer coats.

• Coating thicknesses of 30 to 60 microns (0.0012 to 0.0024 inces) offer long-term corrosion protection in harsh environments.
