PC-1HDG

Copper plating involves cleaning, acid pickling, electro-applying copper, sealing in a tank, and forced hot air drying.

Pre-galvanized finish involves hot-dipping steel coil in zinc at the mill before fabrication. It provides minimal protection for raw edges after cutting or punching.

Superstrut products are for supporting and bracing fixtures, cable, pipe, and conduit. Improper use or installation may cause injury or property damage.

The user is responsible for selecting the proper product, installation intervals, erection, and placement.

Field alterations like cutting or drilling disrupt the sealed PVC product, requiring touch-up. Thomas & Betts is not responsible for such altered products.

The fused-melt mixed powder PVC coating thickness is 15 mils (0.015 in) plus or minus five mils.

HDG Superstrut channels maintain a minimum of 2.5 ounces of zinc per square foot of steel or 2.5 mils, conforming to ASTM A-123.

HDG involves zinc coating after fabrication, providing total protection. It offers superior corrosion resistance but is not recommended for threaded products.

The urethane powder coating has a minimum thickness of 2.5 mils, providing excellent resistance to chipping or peeling.

SilverGalv® is an electroplated zinc finish where steel and 0.5 mils of zinc are bonded by electrolysis. It lacks the trivalent chromium conversion coat of GoldGalv®.
