< Galvanised Lintels   Advantages of Post Galvanising Corrosion Protection All Supergalv lintels are protected by hot-dip galvanising the complete lintel after fabrication. This process out performs all other protection systems by: Fully protecting every surface, cut edge and weld with a metallurgically bonded zinc coating, where other systems actually remove zinc during fabrication and do not provide full protection to all surfaces. Creating a build-up of zinc coating at the most vulnerable points (edges etc.) which are more susceptible to damage on site and are the least protected in other systems. Depositing a minimum mass of zinc coating of over 920g/m² in a metallurgical bond over the base steel. Optional 'Ultragalv 2000' corrosion protection system. This achieves a coating weight of 2000g/m² by shotblasting the steel prior to galvanising. This is up to 7 times more zinc corrosion protection than other lintels, and the life of a zinc coating is directly proportional to its thickness. Life to First Maintenance Chart Based on category 3 exposure (moderate to severe), as defined by 'Galvanisers Association' (1.5µm per annum Zinc corrosion rate).
