|
|
Gatorshield
is a patented triple layer Flo-Coat® rust
and corrosion resistant product protection which has
shown itself to be the best over the long haul versus all
competitive product offerings. When rust and corrosion
protection is needed, Gatorshield is Gator Tough. In
addition, the zinc interior coating provides the inside
of the tube with maximum corrosion and rust
protection. Inside and out, Gatorshield is the best and
has been the best product choice for over 30 years. |
|
Its
available in:
round, square and rectangular shapes
a 1/2" to 5" O.D. size range
a .028 to .250 wall thickness (gauge) range
It delivers a smooth, shiny appearance.
It can be easily fabricated with no deformation or
flaking of the base material.
It can be produced in whatever length is needed to
meet your specific requirements. |

6 What About Painting of Powder Coating Over Gatorshield® Triple Coat
Finish? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its
easy to paint or powder coat over the galvanized steel tubing. Simple surface
cleaning
of the tube is required due to normal transportation and storage related
accumulated soils.
Merely wipe off such soils with a mild cleaning solution. The galvanized
steel tube coatings
will also withstand in-line chemical cleaning baths and rinses. At the same
time, these coatings
will not damage or contaminate any part of a cleaning system. These galvanized
tube products
are protected by a clear, organic top coating which provides excellent adhesion
properties to
most thermo-set powder coatings, as well as to the following air dry and
bake topcoats: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High bake thermoset acrylic
High bake alkyd
High bake polyester
Two-part urethane or epoxy
Solvent-based paints for metals |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solvent-based paints for wood
Solvent-based high-solids paints
Oil-based paints
Paints for car bodies or appliances |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As
you can see, almost all powder or liquid paints will work well over the
clear topcoat. If the paint or powder coating
you are using does not fall into one of the above categories, or you have
any questions, please contact us. |

7 What About Welding Gatorshield®? |
|
8 What About Threading Gatorshield®? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gatorshields
zinc coated finish welds quickly and easily
under normal working conditions and using prescribed
welding procedures. The galvanizing process utilizes a
99.99% pure zinc alloy with significantly less harmful
lead content than generally encountered with
pregalvanized tube and hot-dipped Schedule 40
products. This means that the lead oxide fumes
generated during welding are kept to a minimum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 15
gauge and heavier
products, in all popular pipe
sizes, standard threading
procedures apply. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With
lighter-gauge tubing,
the threading tolerances
must be proportionately
modified. For detailed
threading procedures,
please call us for the
Galvanized Steel Tubing
Threading Guidelines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When
welding any galvanized tubing, it is important to
restore the corrosion resistance of the weld zone to that
of the surrounding tube area. This is easily accomplished
by using a custom touch-up paint, which has been designed for this purpose,
and is available from Allied. |

For
more in-depth information on welding galvanized
steel tubing, or the various methods of restoring
corrosion resistance to weld areas, please contact us

10 How Does Gatorshield® Perform vs.
Schedule 40 Pipe? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
50/55®
significantly outperforms galvanized Schedule
40 pipe, gauge for gauge, in every way and weighs at
least 31% less (OD/OD) in popular pipe sizes. |

Guaranteed
is a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi - 55,000 tensile strength (fracture
point). Yet the test results
show that 50/55® with Gatorshield® yield point was 17% greater than
the guaranteed minimum. The galvanized
Schedule 40 pipe, however, fractured at 56,200 psi pulling force. And when
compared with aluminum pipe, 50/55's
superior strength characteristics are even more dramatic, with an average
60% greater load carrying capacity in
tension. Plus, Gatorshield offers the added benefits of easier, more reliable
welding, increased structural rigidity,
greater impact resistance and substantially lower material cost than with
aluminum Schedule 40 pipe. |
