PERFORMANCE
The unique nature of the galvanising process provides a tough and abrasion resistant coating which means less site damage and speedy erection of structures.
Unlike most coatings, which rely solely on preparation of the steel to obtain adhesion, hot dip galvanizing produces a coating bonded metallurgically to the steel. In other words, the iron and zinc react together to form a series of alloys which make the coating an integral part of the steel surface with excellent cohesion.
Resistance to mechanical damage of protective coatings during handling, storage, transport and erection is very important if the cost of ‘touching up’ on site is to be avoided.
The outer layer of pure zinc is relatively soft and absorbs much of the shock of an initial impact during handling. The alloy layers beneath are much harder, sometimes even harder than the base steel itself. This combination provides a tough and abrasion resistant coating.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
All of our galvanised products are put through rigorous testing regimes before being sent out to ensure a high quality service is undertaken each and every time. In-house quality procedures support consistent galvanising standards and operational control throughout the process.
SEPA – Scotland Environment Protection Agency monitor all of our emissions and any corrosive ingredients to ensure the environment is not impacted by our plant. All staff undertake health and safety, fire awareness and risk assessment training to support safe, consistent and regulated operational standards.
Forfar Galvanisers are committed to being an equal opportunities employer.
