Galvanizing of Steel Tube intended for use in greenhouse structures must be strong, resist humid environments and be easy to fabricate. Tubing manufactured with the Zinc-Tech™ inline galvanizing process will outperform any other production method like hot dip galvanizing or pre-galv strips. The following summarizes the unique product characteristics and benefits of greenhouse tube manufactured by the inline galvanizing process.
Due to the design of the Zinc-Tech™ process, finished products have both higher yield and tensile strength properties which cannot be seen in products manufactured by hot dip galvanizing process.
Zinc-Tech™ products have the highest percentage of “free zinc” coating weight.
Since Zinc-Tech™ products are galvanized after the tube is formed and welded the exterior surface is fully galvanized unlike products manufactured from pre-galv strip.
Benefit: No premature failure or discoloration of the weld seam as is typical with pre-galvanized processes. Additionally, the interior surfaces are fully protected by zinc rich coatings which will not rust internally and stain the exterior surface.
Zinc-Tech™ products posses exceptional zinc adhesion and ductility properties.
Benefit: Worry-free fabrication from flaking or peeling of the zinc coating, even under the most extreme of conditions.
