Frequently Asked Questions
See frequently asked questions below.
Which coating is best for African outdoor use?
Hot-dip galvanizing provides the best value for general outdoor use in African climates. For harsh environments (coastal, mining), consider Dacromet or stainless steel.
Can coatings be applied to stainless steel fasteners?
Generally no - stainless steel's corrosion resistance comes from the material itself, not a coating. Coatings on stainless are unnecessary and may cause issues.
What's the difference between zinc plating and zinc flake coatings?
Zinc plating is smooth and thin (5-15μm). Zinc flake (Dacromet/GEOMET) is thicker (8-12μm) with a textured surface providing superior corrosion resistance.
Do coated fasteners affect thread strength?
Coatings add thickness that can affect thread fit. Specify oversize threads or minimum thread engagement where coating thickness is significant.
Can different coated fasteners be used together?
Avoid mixing significantly different metals. Coated carbon steel fasteners are generally compatible with each other.
